LOB SHOTS

BEST TIP: Use a long swing with
a loose grip.

Make a long, lazy swing with loose grip
and abrupt and maximum wristcock on
backswing.

Take a wide stance, lower handle of club,
open the clubface and tilt the shaft away
from the target.

Play ball off left instep with weight on
right foot and hands behind clubhead at
impact.

Golf is a game in which one
endeavors to control a ball
with implements ill adapted
for the purpose -- Woodrow

Lob shots are "feel" shots.  So a
couple of important ingredients for
developing feel and having simple,
efficient technique are:
(1) keep your grip pressure soft and
constant throughout the stroke, and
(2) keep your hands quiet (that is, do
not use them actively during the
stroke).
The weight of the club and the
motion of the swing might cause
your wrists to set and release, but
the muscles of your hands and
wrists are more passive than active.
