Hinge and hold method (Phil Mickelson)

[Frank76]

Hi everybody!

Phil Mickelson Hinge and hold method, he explains a setup to bring the ball softer into the green. He mentions to open the face of the club and adjust the body until the face is aiming to the target line. Than, he swings along the target line (not along the stance line) with the body aiming to the left.

This is the video:

Does anyone knows if he swings the same way for lob and bunker shots? (Open stance and clubface aiming to the target line)

Personnaly i was sur to hit a lob shot, we need to open the stance to the left and the clubface to the right (right handed) to hit the ball straight, but Phil aims the clubface to the target with an open stance !?!?

Thank you!
