MASTER the STINGER 🚀 (3 Keys You Need to Know)

Professional instructor Kerrod Gray demonstrates the three essential keys to mastering the stinger shot. By adjusting setup with forward weight and a back ball position, golfers can compress the ball with a low finish for a powerful, wind-piercing trajectory.

• Shift and maintain your weight on the lead foot throughout the setup and swing.
• Position the golf ball slightly back in your stance to help lower the initial launch angle.
• Maintain long and low arms through the finish to squeeze the ball against the turf for maximum speed.
• The stinger is an ideal safety shot when playing into strong winds or requiring extra control.
