Cock and Pop

Problem

You have a poor, downhill lie about ten feet away from the pin.

Cure

Use the cock and pop method to get the ball up into the air for about five feet and roll the remaining five feet.

Therapy

Take a wide stance with most of your weight placed on your forward leg. You should look as if you are lunging towards the target. Use an open clubface with the clubshaft leaning towards the target so your hands are well ahead of the ball. Cock your wrist up so the shaft is just higher than parallel to the ground. Use this strong wrist cock to help you pop down onto the ball quickly for a very steep, downward blow.
