Protocols – Lob

1. Similar ‘SET-UP’ as utilized in ‘Pitching’.

2. ‘Higher Trajectory’ due to the ‘Clubface LOFT’ (60 degrees)

3. ‘MINIMUM ROLL TIME AND MAXIMUM AIR TIME’

4. ‘FEEL’ like you are ‘Sliding the Leading Edge of the Clubface under the Ball’.

5. ‘POSTURE’ must be ‘CHIN Tallish & MATADOR PROUD’ for the delicate accuracy of this Procedure.

6. ‘GRIP’ Pressure light to moderate

7. ‘STANCE’ Open Target Toe and under your Shoulders

8. ‘BALL LOCATION’ slightly forward similar to Sand Shots.

9. ‘ALIGNMENT’ Open

10. ‘WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION’ 50:50 or very slightly forward.

11. Mimimal Forward Press but the ‘Hands LEAD’. Utilize the ‘LOFT’ or perhaps a slightly ‘Open Clubface’ (60 to 64 degrees does not need more ‘LOFT’). This is a ‘Flop Shot’ and your Ball will not ‘Flop’ unless your ‘Clubface somewhat ‘Slides Under the Ball’ (Chili Dip. Be aware of the amount of grass under the Ball). This is a ‘FEEL Drill or Shot’ so ‘FEEL’ your Clubface Sliding Under the Backside of the Ball’.

12. ‘Sweep Take-Away’, Low and Slow, Deep-Flat-Wide in order to ‘Set-Up’ proper Forward Swing ‘Angle Of Attack’ or ‘PATH’.

13. ‘NORMAL WRIST COCK’ but generally ‘Hinges Early’ in the ‘Slow Lazyish Back Swing’.

14. ‘NORMAL CLUBHEAD PATH’ and ‘ANGLE OF ATTACK’

15. Relatively quite ‘Lower Body Machine’, Not too much Coil

16. ‘SWING DOWN THE BODY/FOOT LINE’
