Hitting a Stinger For Intermediates

Stingers can be great shots to learn and play. Some pitfalls when playing these shots are getting the upper body leaning too far in front of the swing and becoming too steep into impact.

Two factors to.master the stinger and avoid becoming too steep:

1. Keep the neck and spine extended and slightly behind the ball into impact.
2. The shoulders will “feel” more level though the finish. And allow the player to “cover” the ball.

If the head and neck angles get too far out in front, the swing becomes too steep which can lead to hitting low, hard pulls or swipes to the right.
