Charlotta Sorenstam: How I hit it high

While in Orlando for the recent PGA Show, NCG visited former LET and LPGA pro Charlotta Sorenstam at her sister’s former academy at Reunion Resort to ask her how she hits the ball high..

With the high shot I try and place the ball a little further forward in my stance meaning you’ll have a little less of a steep angle of attack.

I do think it’s quite hard to do because you still want to hit the ball cleanly without topping the ball but if you stay with your setup you can do it.

The Pro James Whitaker then asks Charlotta if there is anything you should stay away from when trying to execute this shot.

Finishing low and trying to swing too far up after impact, you could catch it thin when you do these things. Ata very centered and follow your normal movement.
