little bounce or roll With the aim of eventually sliding the club head under the ball assume the following position Ball opposite front foot Open stance feet aiming toward the left Hands straight back from the club head Open club face aiming right of the target The flip refers to the movement of the hands and wrists Swing the club back mainly by breaking your wrists Swing through again using extra
