This story is for you if...
1. You don't know how to hit low, powerful shots.
2. You often get in trouble and can't get out.

The Problem
Your shot has landed in the rough below tree limbs. You need to get the ball back in play by scooting it up the fairway. In the past these situations have led to big numbers that have blown up your entire round.

The Smart Play
To hit a punch, set the majority of your weight on your front foot with your hands slightly forward of center, so that the shaft leans toward the target. Visualize a shot that flies low and hard before you take your backswing, which should be shorter than normal.
