Hrey, NIB subscribers. It's Nayeon Choi! This is a dangerous situation. This ball is stuck down in the rough. So, I obviously have to share this with my subscribers. What I can do to get myself out of this rough. As for Korea, the grass is a bit different. Because of that, I'm telling it straight, but it's easier to get out of. Even if you don't hit down into it, the roots of the grass are located much higher. It's actually quite easy to hit out of the rough. So, even in Korea, if you use what I show you today, it'll be really helpful for you. That's correct. I'm going to show you how to control and adjust your distance, of course, as well as also plan on showing you how to get that impact necessary in the rough today. To be honest, it's pretty far down there. But right now, maybe because of the rainfall last night.

The ground is a bit wet. It's wet like there was rain the night before. And if you look, the dirt is pretty wet, too. In this case, for amateurs, this is kind of... as well as newer players, the main goal is getting out. To get out, for that next shot to not be in the rough, whether it be the green, out on the fairway, keeping that goal in mind. The most important objective is to escape the rough. But if you've played a little bit and think well, I've used the sand wedge before. For you guys... I hope you watch this video and follow my lead here. From the ball to the pin here, it's about 10 meters. 10 meters roughly. The pin is in front, very close within the green. The green is downhill. Alright, in that case. We need to loft the ball so it will land soft, and we can't let it roll too much.

I'm using a 58-wedge. First off, when the ball is sunk down like this, Where the impact is becomes a very crucial point. For example, our ball is locked here. Down in the grass like this. You can't hit here, and you can't hit right on the ball, either. You have to hit precisely here. Ever so slightly behind. I can't scientifically explain exactly where you need to hit the ball. Why? The grass condition, the moistness of the grass, and the condition of the green all affect that. We're not computers. I can't tell you what precise spot to hit the ball in. We're going to slightly open up the club. We're going to open it up like this. For example when we approach, the club is going to come behind the ball like this. However, we're going to open like this. This much. So, Take that backswing, and at impact, we need to be right back here.

Not here. We're gonna set up like this. The swing here is big. Because, with a 58-wedge, you get a 60, 64-degree impact, and the ball won't go far. So, since we need a bigger swing, what do we do with our stance?
We need a wider stance naturally. And we're going to set our ball left, far left. Now, not as far as, say, our left toe. But, almost like a driver, we're going to set it along our left heel. Also, there are some people who tell you
to open up your left food when you approach. That's fine. You can. That's perfectly fine. And for those who don't have 
as much flexibility in their hips, when you open your left foot, rotating is much easier. If you're not flexible, and this left foot is locked, then rotating isn't easy. So, that's open. We don't twist very much when we backswing,
but what happens when we finish?

You have to rotate all the way to the end. So keep that left foot more open than the right foot. That's one tip right there for you. When you approach, you can open your left foot like this because you'll rotate. And, My club face is open here. The most important tip. Normally, when we swing, what do we do? We raise it like this, this angle. We raise it like this. If we exaggerate, we raise it like this. We're gonna do it just like that. Now, When we backswing, we raise the club like this so as to not make the grass an obstacle when we impact. So, now what? If you just raise the club like this. It's going to come straight out down. So now, look, we have this ball locked in the grass like this. If we were to swing at this ball like an approach. We get a top ball like that. We got a top ball and it ricocheted off the hill.

So, we are gonna raise our club steeply and go under the ball to loft the ball like this. We have to try to do the best we can to backswing upward and cock the wrist to not take any resistance from the grass. And with that we just and come down like this for that club to get down into that grass and under the ball like this. Let's take a look at that swing here. It's gonna feel like you're making a divot. When I told this to my friends and stuff, their biggest mistake was they followed well, they copied well. Ball location. Stance width. Opened their club face. They got the backswing down. But here's how they did it. They destroy it. Why? They took a giant backswing and they took a giant downswing, too. But in this case, how do we control that distance? Downswinging. You have to take a big backswing, for example

whether it's 5 meters, or 10 meters, the backswing will be similar. Because you need some speed coming down. We need it in order for the club to... break through all that grass and hit the ball. Here, if you swing it softly, the head is gonna get caught up
in all that grass, and you lost all your speed. Then you can't adjust distance. And that makes get out harder. And so, you need some kind of speed, without losing it. If we need this speed, then raising the club and raising it high is right. Because we need that speed. Now, how do we get that specific distance. Kind of.. Make contact, and finish it here. We're not following through here. It's more like... an abrupt finish. The ball flies higher than you think. Here's why. The club comes down from a high angle here and.. becomes a high-to-low attack. In that case,

Think of it as a big V. The ball is at the low point. Like a V, Take a high backswing, and come down steep, the ball shoots up. But, if the backswing is long and low, Like a smooshed V, then the ball won't go high. Because of spin. So, when you need to pop the ball like this, having a steep backswing
is really important. Naturally. High-to-low execution, and stop that finish right here, the backswing was big but you didn't even go 10 meters,
and you were able to keep that control. But, here even if the pin is right there,
people don't know this method, the ball is on the right side, and they hit... And the only good thing was getting out. Then, You can do that, and you can 2-putt, 1-putt, or whatever, but this is NIB, and you can't go on without knowing this.

Set it down here. Open that head and be confident doing it. But when you open the head, normally when you address and open the head, the hand location is basically the same across all amateurs. But, but if you widen the stance and open your head, the hands are going to come down slightly lower than before, just a tad. So now we are set up with this approach like this. Normally, if it's a fairway approach with a 58, what do we do? We stand like this. And this hand location here comes down when you are taking a trouble shot from the rough. Same with bunker shots, by the way. Now, now that we're a little lower, the club gets easier to get under the ball and deeper into the grass. So now if you try to raise it like this and swing softly, you'll meet a lot of resistance. So with confidence, even with this big backswing, you can control that short distance like this with that sudden stop.

You won't have a lot of chances to try this for real, because Korea doesn't have insane roughs on their courses. Korea is more a place with grass that's easier to swing across than down into. And many Koreans go overseas as well to play golf, and they can get really embarrassed when they run into grass like this. So it's different depending on the grass. In this case, the ball is buried deep inside, and when the dirt is wet and soft, it can be better. The club needs to go in deeper. Like this. I duffed it a little bit. I address here. I hit a bit too behind. I duffed the ball this much, so it went about 2 meters less. So that position at impact is very important. Where that club lands at impact. So open the head like this. Set your stance wide like this. Ball on the left side. We're gonna cock a bit like this, and

we're not full swinging here, we're just gonna 
swing and stop about right here. I still duffed it a bit, but thankfully it rolled and still made it near the cup. So, your speed should not be slow here. It needs to be the same up as down. And then, you need to use some power to stop it on your own. It's like you're swinging down into the ground and stopping. So, it's not taking the backswing here and following through like this. If you're too fast, you're gonna wind up swinging further no matter what. But if the pin is like 30 meters, of course, then swing away. In that situation, take it back here, and you'll need to go all the way for it to go. But this is 10 meters, so lofting that ball, we need to land it softly, raise it, and stop it like this. Here's another practice method. For example,

When you need a steep backswing, set the ball about 30 centimeters behind like this, and try not to hit it when you backswing. If you come back like this, you hit it. Backswing steeply up to not hit the other ball. And then swing through. Now, go through the motion without hitting the other ball. So, since you're approach from a high point, attack low. But people who just approach and do it like this, they hit that second ball like this. You can even hit that ball coming down, too. That makes the swing that much different depending on how you backswing. This is great practice, so when you do it, when you loft it, don't hit the ball. Then naturally, you can downswing without hitting the ball. Anyway, hitting the ball in the rough like this, you really need to know just a few things. Having an address that is least influenced by the grass, from backswing to impact.

is all you need to apply a good way out. Not just this grass, say you're in Europe or the UK. That grass is also pretty similar to this. Also, say, from the fairway, a second shot with a 6 or 7-iron, or even needing to use an 8. It's the same if that ball is stuck in the rough. You can't let that grass get caught in the club. Rather, raise the club a little, like this. You gotta think about not touching it. If the grass is long, raise the club higher. But, since you're that much higher, what do you need to do? You naturally have to go straight down when hitting. Attack from the top to the bottom. The club has to get down in the rough for the ball to be able to get high and out of there. Because the grass in front of the ball is long, so that ball is really... It's the same, but that ball is gonna touch all the grass in front.

Then you won't have any control. And when you're on the fairway, you can miss a lot of shots there, keeping cautious of that. When your ball is in a tall rough of grass, you have to swing in a way the grass least influences the ball. And this approach, making that ball land softly, roll about 10 meters. When you need that short distance ball, take these tips I've showed you today out on the field and try. I know it's kind of hard for some of the newer golfers. But as I watch my channel, there are intermediate players, and even experienced golfers, too. So, as I'm showing this, I hope this develops my subscribers on all levels. So, I hope you guys continue enjoying this sport. Well, that's all that I've got for today. And don't forget to hit that subscribe and like button. Thank you!
