There’s probably not a single golfer on the planet who hasn’t tried to hit the Tiger Woods stinger at some point. It’s a shot he used to devastating effect during one of the most dominant runs golf or any sport has ever seen and, thanks to TaylorMade, he’s revealed his secrets.
How to hit the stinger like Tiger Woods: Step 1
When Tiger is trying to get the ball in play, he’ll go with the reliable stinger. And whether he’s hitting a draw or a fade, the ball position is the same: “One ball back.”
He adds: “Basically what I try and do is try and keep it as simple as I possibly can.”
How then, when hitting a shot with such speed and compression, does Tiger stop his hands so quickly after contact?
“Well, I like to soften my arms and speed up my hips. So I try and get my hips moving as fast as I possibly can so that my hands stop as soon as they can post-impact.”
