Thank you very much for the video.  I think I can picture the shot and how to hit it a lot more.  Now I need to get to a range to practice it.

(I think I might try your alignment process too, since I'm not really sure about my procedure)

fwiw, I recently had to hit under some low hanging branches which I did notice until I got there. I only had a sand wedge with me but managed to hit it low by moving the ball back even a little beyond the trail foot. Ordinarily I would have used a low lofted iron or hybrid. In any event, it worked,as I was able to clear the branches and adequate roll out.

I now hit low punch-outs when I need them with a 6I.

This worked well last weekend when I needed it, at least until I clipped another tree. Lateral miss, but I didn't have much room to work with. Thanks for the tip.
