A stinger shot refers to the condition when the player consciously wants to hit the ball in a lower position than normal. In such a condition, the ball flies much lesser distance if we perceive the carry. But, it rolls out much more. A fairway wood or a long iron is used to play this shot. It is also played off the tee. A stinger is mainly a punch shot. The term “stinger” was made popular by Tiger Woods. It is probably difficult to play like Tiger, but it is not so difficult to learn how to play the stinger shot.
Here, we provide some simple golf tips, which will make it easy for you to master the stinger shot.
The body has to unwind faster in order to hit the ball farther. The finish of the stinger shot is very different from the normal finish where the hands end up turning over. In the stinger finish, the wrists remain firm with the left elbows folding down to the ground.
You should start at a lower level, maybe a 5-iron punch shot of about 30 yards. You can gradually extend the follow-through and add distance.
