What is the HARDEST shot to hit?

[rosecott]

140yrd FADE off a downhill lie

Practically impossible!!

You must be joking - a piece of u***e.

 

[tonecapone]

Any lie around the green,grass laying towards the ball,can never pull this chip shot off.Always end up duffing this one.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

One off of the middle of the club. Right now all I can manage is hosel and toe.

 

[kid2]

At the moment - a controlled drive......

Seconded......:thup:

 

[MashieNiblick]

or the old classic, the 50 yard bunker shot - I either duff 10 yards in front of me or thin 20 yards past the flag

Gary Alliss explains how to play these in the current issue.

He says play you usual splash shot but witha 9 or 8 iron.

Maybe there could be a feature or regular section in the mag which looked at how to play some of the shots suggested on this thread with some of the GM pros teaching some readers (or forum members ) how to play their nightmare shot. It's one thing a pro demonstrating it but quite another as to whether an ordinary player can actually do it.

lob wedge from 40 yds over a bunker form a down hill lie on hard pan.

 

[pkspares]

300+ yard drive that lands on the fairway?

 

[steviep]

After the range session I just had, any shot with a 3-hybrid off a perfectly flat range mat.

 

[Robobum]

Hitting a decent drive with an into off the left wind - nightmare for me

 

[sydney greenstreet]

A ball nestled down in 3 foot long rough !

 

[slicer79]

I think any shot well above or below you're feet and over 150 yards

 

[Mattyboy]

Deliberate shank if you ask me.

I had a dose (of them) a while back and cured myself by tying to hit them. I just coldnt do it deliberately.

So when a mate got his dose (of them) I told him to try and hit them. And he could - time after time. Now thats talent!

Interesting answers... the one that I was thinking about when I made the post was

140yrd FADE off a downhill lie

Practically impossible!!

You can't have your weight forward else you'll either fall down the slope or swing too much from the inside and hook it, you can't have your weight back else you'll hit the slope waaay behind the ball or thin the crap out of it - impossible I say!

(Don't mind the downhill bunker shot too much as you can practically lift the clubhead vertical and fat/splash the life out of it)

You should read about the ball flight laws mate, that'll sort you out. It's all in there.

 

[RGDave]

Any shot over trees or lakes.

 

[GreiginFife]

Any shot where you DON'T want to do something that will land you in the poo!
