Dan Grieve explains how to execute the 'Release 3' lob shot for emergency situations when short-sided in the rough. He demonstrates the importance of low hands, an early hinge where the clubface points toward the player, and a release toward the trail hip to maximize loft and soft landing.
Check the lie first; only play this shot if the lie gives you a 'green light.'
Set up with low hands and hinge the club so the face looks back at your face.
Release the clubhead toward your trail hip while continuing to turn the body through the shot.
Focus on keeping the loft on the club throughout the impact and follow-through to ensure the ball lands softly.
