[MUSIC PLAYING] Hi, this is Stacy Lewis, and welcome to the short game section of my private channel.

OK Stacey, we're lucky enough to be together at Bluejack. And we're at one of the most beautiful short game areas I've ever seen. This shot right here-- I've already shot it with my little shooter. It's 55 yards approximately. This normally would cause a lot of stress to people. Please tell us how you do it.

Well, one, I don't think of it being that hard. I think hitting a 4 iron into the green is pretty hard. But this is something I try to make pretty simple, and I would it plays more aggressively probably. I like to see the ball spin versus letting it hit and release out.

And everybody's different there. And to me, it's just what you see. Do you see that ball laying in and checking in? Or do you see it releasing out? And I just play more aggressively because it gets me to commit to the shot.

And in this case, you have three wedges. You have your 60, your 50.

50 and 55.

And of course, you're shooting for that back pin there as we will see-- easy to visualize something skipping to that one.

Right, for sure. And when I'm picking a club, I'm just looking at what's going on at the green. And I know that back part of the green, especially towards that last pin, it gets pretty steep. So I don't need a ton of spin to get it to check up here. So that's why I went with 55 because I don't need a 60 here. It's going to stop just fine.

Little stance.

Little stance, little open. And when I chip and when I hit these, I use the bounce a lot. That's the way I learned how to use the bounce in college, and that's just what I do.

Let's see you hit a couple. And then I'd like for you to explain to us how you use the bounce, if you would.

Wow, that ball had quite a bit of spin on it there.

Yeah, and I don't feel like I'm trying to make it do anything crazy.

And when we're up there talking about your big swing, you used your shoulders primarily on the backswing-- that was pretty. What do you do here? How do you make the club go back? How do you make-- how are you doing this looks? It looks so easy.

Well, to me, it's still the shoulders. Unless I need to make it spin like crazy, I start using the hands a little bit more. But this backswing is still a lot of shoulders for me, and that's what makes you get that good clean contact through the ground. So that's what I'm looking for.

But the biggest thing to use the bounce is to open the face. And everybody gets scared by opening the face. But I think one of the keys when you open the face, always need to put the hands forward a little bit. Because if you just open the face and leave the hands square, that leading edge is going to get in the way and you're not going to use the bounce.

So open the face, lean the hands.

Hands go a little bit ahead.

You are really like nipping that ball.

And it's all in the shoulders and in the upper body. I'm using my hands to hold a face to not let it turn over. But behind that, it's not hinging it or do anything crazy.

OK, so you're not doing anything extra with your hands?

No.

Could you just show us what you're doing with your shoulders as you-- is it is it primarily you're just working your shoulders?

Yeah, I'm try and keep this these hips as still as possible and just get the shoulders turned.

Just like you said on--

Just what we talked about in the full swing-- same thing. But here, we're restricting the hips, and so that's what you're able to take a bigger swing and it doesn't go as far. And that's what creates the spin on it.

OK. and are you trying to time your downswing? Or is it easier with this shot?

Downswing's a lot easier that the shot--

Because it's a shorter swing.

And because you're not using the body. When you start adding a weight shift and using your hips, that's when timing gets hard. But here, the only time is where the hands are through impact.

That drill you did up top there where everything went to here-- it almost looks like you're just doing that drill.

The shorter version of it.

Could you show us that drill maybe one more time? And does that drill help you here?

It does a little. But the problem is with that drill is you're not going to hit it very far. So we're not going be able to get it to that pin. So we could do it though is here to here.

Yeah, I see.

And you drop it through like that.

Now on the follow through, are you trying to get yourself over to your position? Or you're not even thinking about that? Is it more of the strike?

Yeah, I'm more concerned about how I'm using the bounce through the ground. And the fall through a little bit. Because I think if you want to restrict it some because that creates speed to me. And whether I'm trying to hit it high or low is where I finish. So if I want it to go high, it's going to be a full finish.

You're up there, yeah.

If it's going to be a low skipping one, it's where the hands are. I'm not concerned where this is. But I'm saying the hands are low.

I see. So if you're--

Up here, you're trying to get it up. And where this kind of shot where I'm driving it in there, the hands finish pretty low.

They just do. It's because of the weight and everything just lean forward, they just finish there.

Yeah. So it's the same as my full swing where the setup is producing the shot. The setup produces the shot more than the actual swing of it.

And I think your shoulders create so much of the goodness in your swing.
