okay here I am at etheral we're talking
about the tour striker 56-degree club
right now how this is going to help you
with a bunch of shots I love this club
because you don't have to make a full
swing to understand its its benefits so
here I am faced on view what I want you
to do before you hit a golf ball is just
to go ahead and take the tour striker
and let's learn how to get that rounded
flange below the leading edge and let's
just gently let it hit the ground now I
could take my right hand off and in
essence this angle is expanding on its
own into that spot and I'm bruising away
the turf right there
okay so it's not about me making the
shaft find the alignment with my left
arm it's a rhythm that I can do with my
left arm only letting that shaft seek an
alignment kind of naturally and you'll
feel it when you deal with a golf club
and then you can do it with the right
hand let it hit the ground and what most
amateurs are going to do out there
they're going to go and they are going
to fire this too early they're not going
to be able to carry in essence this
little wedge that I'm creating my
backswing to impact okay so that's the
one little warning for you so hit the
ground let that rounded edge kind of hit
the ground get get used to where your
low point is so little short shots
leading edge again little narrow stance
ball a little bit back we're just going
to hit little shots now that little shot
actually landed a little bit behind the
ball that's okay now with a regular Club
you might have hit a fat shot there the
face is forward on this 56 okay you're
learning how to have a downward strike
the tool will teach you how to have a
downward strike without the fear of
laying the sod over the ball I can do
better let's go ahead and try it I want
to hit the ground let that rounded part
bounce off the ground hopefully with a
bit more precision this time
good now you can't see that ball in but
it's about 30 yards let me tell you what
that little for leaning shaft downward
strike shot that's that kind of really
sexy wedge shot that amateurs go how to
pros do that well you do it it just it's
just the function mechanics people when
you can get that shaft lean and down
engage those grooves you hit a great
little shot with spin on it let's go
down the line so again you're going to
feel this rounded part of the tour
strike or hit the ground you can do a
couple little rehearsals very soft hands
kind of aiming your angles get that
sense of hitting the ground when you can
do that a few times let's go ahead and
go ahead and put a ball in the way now
let's try to replicate that feel of of
making sure that we hit the ground and
there's a nice little pitch though in
about 45 yards but those are the impact
alignments
that's the sensation you need to hit
that little shot let me grab my 56
degree sand wedge here we'll do the same
thing now this has a leading edge
clearly this has the ability to you know
hit a fat shot but that's okay you're
learning how to aim your angles how to
have precision down through impact let's
hit that same little shot good about a
45 yard shot again that's that spinny
wedge shot that amateurs just have a
hard time hitting and clearly you can
see that the leading edge on this normal
traditional Club took a divot so I'm
going to really tight lie here fescue
grass very little room for error this
makes a lot of Anders super nervous what
do they try to do traditionally they try
to pick it and by picking it you can see
that I topped it okay so what you're
learning to do the tour striker is to
let that Club bounce hit the ground
commit the ground 1-handed 2-handed then
put a ball on the way when you can do it
a few times with the tour striker go
ahead and get your sand wedge out and
replicate the feel good luck
I hope we improve your
our game
