In this instructional video, PaddyTalksGolf demonstrates how to execute the iconic stinger shot. Paddy focuses on setup adjustments and an abbreviated follow-through to achieve a low, penetrating ball flight ideal for windy conditions. The tutorial emphasizes weight distribution and shaft lean at impact to keep the launch angle low.
Position the ball slightly back of center in your stance to encourage a steeper attack angle.
Shift and keep your weight favoring the lead side throughout the swing.
Maintain shaft lean at impact, ensuring your hands are ahead of the clubhead.
Use an abbreviated 'sawed-off' follow-through to prevent the ball from climbing too high.
Commit to a firm strike to generate the spin needed for the ball to stay stable in the air.
