hi I’m Fred Couples and I’m here with
Bridgestone Golf in PGA TOUR Superstore
we’re going to show you how to hit a 50
yard wed shot I like to play slight draw
for me personally so I’m always aiming
slightly right face slightly open and
again closing it slight light
impact now if I want to hit it exact
opposite shot for a cut I stand closer
to it I’m going to hit a cutter I Want
to Hold It Against the Grain hold
against the hill I stand closer to it
what people don’t realize is I’ll shut
the face down a little
bit the face is open for a draw and the
face is slightly closed for a
[Music]
cut see that little cut spin on the draw
is the draw is going to be slower it’s
should be more
armsy okay is obviously going to go
further but I have wherever I want the
golf ball start out at is where I put
the face so I’m going to start out to
the right my face is going to be open
yes that’s brilliant and then I try and
close it down a little
bit and going to hit my little draw
right that’s outstanding a lot of people
think cuz they they have to hook it they
have to shut the face shut the face down
I don’t like that no it’s hard to
whereever I want the ball start out is
where I have the face would you agree
you’re so good from 120 yards in because
it’s all like it’s all flight related
how high I want to hit it trajectory
spin um this is all feel and this is
millions upon millions of reps if I want
to hit a straight ball high my dad would
say okay hit a you’re teaching a
four-year-old how to hit the ball high
so my dad would say just have a higher
follow through I said okay so same shot
higher follow
[Music]
and I hit it
higher now for a low driving shot which
I I see a like a low driving cut with
the grain holding it with be ball off my
right toe face slightly
shut hold off on
[Music]
it you’re going at that with
aggressively cuz I’m cutting it correct
for people
watching when he says that yeah
technique is huge but when he’s going at
it harder it’s because he’s cutting it
but that doesn’t mean he’s everything’s
tighten up and he’s going at of that
he’s going at from here to
here and then the first swing H this
distance is aggressively
yeah and then hit the high one again
where your dad said it’s a higher follow
through just so they can see this cuz
this is
brilliant now if I want to play like a
big hooking sweeper in there face is way
Way open this is where I stand a little
bit differently I’ll Stand further away
from it I’ll Stand
flatter make my Ark more
round and you see it has a lot of hook
to it now now why would you hit that
shot cuz you’re using the slope I’m
using a slope safe same like we’re we’re
at Augusta and I want to have a a back
pen I get that big huge slope on the
right I’m going to use that to feed it
down there the slope is going to stop it
so this is a perfect play perfectly well
thought out
