• Set your body line way left of the target line
• Play the ball way forward – that helps the elevation
• Make sure you have room for your arms to swing. A sense that you are ‘reaching’ fractionally for the ball helps
• Trust in the club as you swing back and through along your body line
• Because the clubface is wide open, you really have to rip it!!!

As I watched Ollie at Augusta, I noticed that he didn’t employ much wrist break – in that regard he played this shot with the same ‘scything’ sort of action that Nick Faldo once showed me out of thick rough. Ollie really keeps his wrists passive, and that’s the key to playing this successfully. With relatively stiff wrists you get the same ‘low point’ on every swing. I sense that I hinge my wrists a fraction (but only a natural flexing as I reach the top of the backswing) and then I release it all through impact. You really do have to get aggressive. With that much loft in play, you need to swing the clubhead fast to get the ball going forward.
