Was out playing today and noticed a few situations I had trouble with.

Thick rough lies: I would shank the ball. Ball goes very low and slices about 20-30 yards.

Ball is 1/4 or 1/2 buried: Can't get a clean shot on these.

shanks can happen to anyone. all that is, is your hosel is stricking the ball and not your club face. it happens to me a lot. you may be swinging harder and trying to go after it when your ball is in the rough. although most shanks i see are from tight lies. just keep yor arms close to your body and dont let them get away from you and you wont shank it.

If its deep rough, power through it. Have a steeper swing and hit down on the ball.

If this doesn't work, just use anywhere from a 6 Iron Under to punch it out.

Mine is when a ball sits high on deep rough and I'm 30-40 yards from the green and I need to use a open wedge (green is uphill with a bunker in front).

Basically, what happens is that the clubface actually goes completely underneath the ball and the ball flies maybe half of what it was supposed to do.

Not sure how to handle that since I can't use the bounce of the wedge.

with a shot like that you need to use a gap wedge or maybe a sand wedge and close your clubface down. you dont need to open it up. and just land it on the green. that type of shot will usually have some spin on it and will check up

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By saevel25 ·

      Timing yes, feeling maybe not exactly 😉 Weight shift forward can start as early as A3. Weight shift is a lateral sway.

      That sounds good. And, yeah, the default camera app tries to take in as much light as possible.

      Good tip. You can’t set the shutter speed manually on the built-in camera app on an iPhone, but it’s possible with a different app. I bought the ProCam 8 ($9.99), where you can set everything manually. For videos, I can set it to a maximum of 1/1600-1800. I tried 60 and 240 FPS, and even at 60 FPS the video is much better with higher shutter speed than the built-in app where you can’t control the shutter speed. You can see the face angle in every frame, while on the built-in app with 240 FPS the entire club is a blur. And that’s with only a pair of portable LED work lights.
