PGA instructor Dan Grieve analyzes the most common faults of the Release 3 lob shot. He demonstrates how to fix poor contact by widening the stance, lowering the handle, and maintaining rotation through the ball to achieve a high launch and soft landing.
Only attempt a lob shot if you have grass under the ball to allow the club to slide underneath.
Use a wide, driver-like stance to create a stable platform for this longer, more aggressive swing.
Lowering your hands at address allows the wrists to cup more effectively, which increases loft and height.
Avoid leaning back to 'help' the ball up; keep your weight forward and rotate your chest through the finish.
An open clubface at address must be matched by a cupped wrist in the backswing to prevent the face from closing.
