Assuming the ball is not sitting up high at all but is down in the grass. Obviously we need to get it out but being close to the green and also a very close pin, most of us are not even close to being 10% of Phil lol....so how are you playing this and with which club?
Sure it becomes much easier when the ball is up nicely, but more often than not we unfortunately end up worse. Do you wrist hinge here? or not? Do you use the highest lofted club? is there much follow through? ball forward? or back?
I am sure there will probably be some mixed answers here. Those who are pretty good at this kind of thing may even have some differences in their approach. I am just trying to see if there are given rights and wrongs for this shot. I assume that obviously a certain amount of feel (or touch) is required regardless of how you approach this. Bottom line is what is the beast way to get it out and also keep it close enough?
