Its definitely one of them. I was watching some of tiger's best stinger shots and its sad to say, this shot is fading out.
Maybe they play it a bit more on the European tour but I can't remember the last time I seen it live on the PGA tour.
Is it because its too hard to pull off, the courses don't suit it or the weather doesn't call for it?
I absolutely love seeing the flight on them.
I don't recall seeing any at the open at Hoylake nor the practice day at portstewart this year. Granted the weather didn't really require a low flight that day. The last pro I seen hit one live was olazabal at the Irish open in 2012. 4 iron barely 20 feet in the air. It was magic although he did miss the green left. Lol
Anyway who plays these punchy low flight shots with either driver, wood or iron?
Liverbirdie can hit a cracking punch drive. Peter finch is a fan and practices this type of shot. Finally my mate whos dropped from 12 down to 6 can play a really penetrating long and mid iron. Beautiful to watch.
So, is it an art falling by the way in these times of bomb and gouge golf or is it still being utilized daily by some of you lot and in some far flung corner of Scotland?
NB. Its not really a shot I play. I can hit a low one but not as well as id like. Something to work on over winter at the range. Fun if nothing else.
