Some golfers are scientists, while others are artists. Seve Ballesteros tucked his flag firmly into the latter category.

There are very few photos that fearless Spanish would not try. Regardless of lies, weather conditions or circumstances, Ballesteros attacks with reckless abandonment. In the era defined by the shooter, Sev stood out in the rest of the era.

As early as April 1984, Ballesteros joined Golf Magazine Share some secrets about his shooting. Check below 'em.

Seve's Secret

Shooting is an art that any player can learn. The easiest way to self-taught is to work with the most versatile club in the bag (type 5 iron ore).

My first club, as far as I'm concerned, was a Tri-iron, but if I had to do that, I would choose 5. 5 The iron is slightly shorter, making it easier to control. At 37 1/2 inches it is the ideal length to learn longer and shorter swings. Both technologies are necessary to become a manufacturer. Its large attic also eliminates the fear of misfortune. This allows you to swing confidently while using various lenses.

Here is a description of six photos you can hit with 5 irons or turn on each person’s keys.

Long Loft

address: Play the ball only to the right of the center and align the foot, hip and shoulder squares with the target line. Balance the weight of your feet. Hold and place the blade normally to open the “hair”.

Defender: Drag the club head along the target line with a firm wrist and move your weight horizontally to the right. Allow your wrist to break when you feel the weight transfer to the inside of your right foot. Turn completely, transfer your weight to the right.

Sagging: Drive your knees towards the target and rotate the club with your hands and arms. Keep the weight of your right foot and head larger so that the ball touches the ball as it rises.

Soft fade out

address: With the ball forward, keep it open and set the hips, shoulders and the panels of the club. Hold the handle with a “weaker” grip “stronger”. Put most of the weight on your left foot.

Defender: Keep your head “quiet” and your eyes focus on the back of the ball while your lower body is relatively low, and the target line is outside the target line when you swing the club back slowly than usual. Once the weight moves toward the right foot, let your wrist break so that you can pull the club steeply to three quarters.

Sagging: To achieve a “floating” ball flight from left to right, keep most of the weight on your right foot and pull the back of the ball from inside the target line to outside into the back of the ball.

running

address: Close the club face slightly or a lot depending on the level of appeal you intend to achieve. Gently hold the club with a “stronger” grip. Kick the ball back on the stance and align your feet, hips and shoulders to the right of your scheduled target. Balance your weight.

Defender: Keep your head stable and then put the club back into the normal “internal” path. Pull your left shoulder down below your chin and transfer the weight to your right heel to enable you to achieve a full back.

Sagging: Transfer the weight to the ball on the left foot. As you pull the club into the batting area, let your right hand go over your left foot and roll your left foot towards the target. Continue to roll your hand into the impact.

Low eyelashes

address: Stand upright and place most of the weight on your left foot. Play the ball backwards, close to your right foot, so that your hand is in front of the club's head. Block control, normal grip and face the club to your goals.

Defender: Keep your head stable and weight as you swing the club back in the middle with your hands and arms.

Sagging: Think briefly. Now drive both knees towards the target and roll the weight outside of your left foot to increase arm speed and club head acceleration. Hold tightly and pull the club head into the back of the ball so that the back of the left hand faces the target.

Trap direct access

address: Play a lot of balls, spread your “hair” and put most of the weight on your right foot. Keep your head stable and tilt your chin right so that you can look directly down to your left eye. Pretend to shoot longer than actually allowing the ball to extend in the trap. The more sand there is, the harder it will be to strike.

Defender: Keep your head still, your knees locked, and the weight is correct. Pick up the club steeply with your hands and arms, and let your wrist break. Shake the club head back to waist height.

Sagging: Keep your head stable, extend your right knee inward, and pull the club's face to the back of the ball.

Mini fist

address: Play forward, almost from your left toe. Place your feet, hips and shoulders left side, place most of the weight on your left foot, and then place your head behind the ball.

Defender: Keep your head still, your eyes focus on the ball, and leave the weight remaining. Pick up the club steeply and immediately break your wrist in the takeaway. Use your hands and arms to put the club back to the half-wing position.

Slope: Keep your feet flat and keep them stable while holding your knees toward the target. By keeping your knees moving, you will have “time” better. Greatly relax your grip so the club “snatch” backwards while the blade “drops” to the back of the ball.
