What is the HARDEST shot to hit?

[Alex1975]

I would guess a low fade. High fade is ok, high and low draw ok but with a low fade its hard to deloft the club as its a fade but you need to for the low bit so it has to be done with loads of lag.

Hitting the sweet spot!

Sorry did you mean " G Spot "

In regular play, the half shot.

 

[timchump]

the 400 yard drive?

for me the controlled fade, normally double cross it

 

[ScienceBoy]

Middle of the fairway to an easy pin after a monster drive

 

[Qwerty]

Over a green side bunker from a tight lie to a tight pin.

Certainly the most intimidating

 

[Crawfy]

20yards short of elevated green, tight lie with pin at the front

My pro always told me that bunker shot from a downslope is the hardest shot in golf, he then preceded to thin one 30 yards through the green so i have to believe him i guess.

For me personally, any tee shot where i don't have much room to aim at.

The 1st putt on each green - getting them in or close enough for a gimmee.

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

Delicate chip over bunker/mound/water from a bare lie. Absolutely killing my game right now!

 

[Liverbirdie]

A shot whereby a tree root is directly behind your ball, get it wrong and ouch!

Dave Pelz's research (of all levels of golf skill) of teh Top 10 most feared shots were
10th - Lag Putts
9 - Up against a wall
8 - Greenside Pitch
7 - Hitting through Trees
6 - Buried lie in Sand
5 - High cut lob
4 - Downhill lie
3 - Tight Lie
2 - Greenside bunker
1 - 3 ft Putt !!!!!

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

I've highlighted the ones I don't like above

I don't know whether the ranking is correct, but certainly they are ones I don't like to see.

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)

 

[Snelly]

Full bunker shot is the hardest to hit in my view.

 

[richart]

Surprised the burried lie in a bunker is mentioned. A lot of players natural shot is well suited to play this one. Steep backswing and a smash behind the ball.

Hanging downhill lie in wet sand in one of the deepest greenside bunkers at Woodhall Spa springs to my mind. Don't know why I was worried as it come out a treat, albeit 50 yards over the green.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I've all the shots but just don't know what order they are coming out in. I don't fear any shot. I can't necessarily play them all, certainly not competently but I'll commit to it. Sometimes though taking your medicine and perhaps playing conservatively can actually save shots inthe longrun

I was just about to post any with driver
