Stop Chunking High Soft Shots! The Secret Setup Every Golfer Needs
Adam Porzak of Porzak Golf reveals the technical secrets to hitting high, soft lob shots without chunking or blading the ball. By focusing on a synchronized 'one-two' rhythm and a specific forward-ball setup, golfers can learn to slide the clubhead under the ball for maximum height and control. The lesson emphasizes that finesse, not power, is the key to landing the ball softly on tight pins.
Position the ball forward in your stance and open the clubface significantly at address to naturally generate loft.
Synchronize the club, hands, and body so they move at the same speed throughout the entire swing.
Use a verbal 'one-two' count to create a slight pause at the top of the backswing, ensuring gravity does the work instead of hand-hitting instincts.
Avoid 'adding loft' through impact; trust that the setup and face angle will propel the ball upward.
A dead, soft landing is often the result of smooth rhythm rather than just high spin.
