@@BrodieSmithGolf It's actually called the "Stinger Wedge". Check out details on that shot here: ruclips.net/video/u3H3lbWGoEc/видео.html. If you're ever in Michigan, we can play and I can show you how to hit it ;)
Saw Arnold Palmer hit a stinger on the par 4 18th tee at Ashbourne CC right outside Philly. I had no idea the shot was called a stinger but it was the coolest thing ever. I was standing right behind him when he hit it. That was back in 1970 and I remember it like yesterday.
Pulls club out of bag, "I'm rocking the 4 iron. Actually nope it's an 18 degree i guess. Is that what that means? Well they all say 18, so I think this might be 2018? I actually don't know what the degree is on this." LOL
Thanks guys... Took me 10 to 15 min to get it to work more or less with my 2 iron but I will perfect it. Now I have a use for that 2 iron I picked up in a yard sale. Using for narrow fairways and windy days or just to show off, lol.
Hahahaha!!! 12:19 Brodie said, "I thought we were looking for a Big Dong!" I hope you asked that other dude if he knew what kind of "Stinger" you were really trolling for. 😂

Zac is so consistent in all his videos as to how he performs this shot. I am starting to become proficient but as Zac stated he had a year to perfect this one year
I was taught to imagine the logo on your glove pointing down at impact and that's always worked for me. I think Tiger said something similar many years ago. Basically imagine a bowed wrist at impact.
Have to try this. I always kept mine low by putting the ball further back in my stance and chopping down with a hooded clubface. Goes straight and low, just not that much distance.
Hey Brodie. We have cones on top of the distance signs that I aim for. Still yet to hit one. Also haven’t seen you guys in a while, missin yous. 😉 Hangin out for the next vid, and also Kelsey’s first 18. 👋👋
@@ZacRadford yeah man. Now I cant hit it hahaha. Played like 4 rounds since my comment and cant do it anymore lol. I'm a purist and hate hybrids and woods. Like sticking to iron and driver player.
Blake Thomas Selph I Definitely go through times where it’s tougher to hit this shot than other times. Just focus on what we covered in the video and it will come back 👊
@@ZacRadford will do brother. Thanks! Are you from DFW? I swear I have seen you on a course before. I used to live in Denton and played a lot of golf in the area.
I go 3 wood, move it back 1-2 inches, tee it lower just off the turf, close face just a hair, and stay centered over it. Goes low, with a tad of draw, rolls out nice.
If you play a lot, its easy to pick things up. Also, he is working on the right things. Most people have bad habits to fix. Well he already had sound mechanics so he can improve faster than most people.
Birdknowsbest funny, I’ve been saying this for 15 years, I call it my Golf Ping Pong Theory, seriously EVERY good golfer I know and play with is good at Pong Pong as well. 👍🏼
besides of hard work and practice smart you have to have good physics (fitness and mobility), and great mentality. All of those advantage own by Brodie. He plays with lots of pro, take a lesson from a pro, good hands and eye coordination, and perfect body for golf. Thats why we enjoy watching Brodie’s channel. keep up the good work, greeting from Indonesia.
Brodie Smith Golf woah thanks for the reply. But I live in Boston a bucket of balls is 12 bucks. But I do get to play a lot in the fall cuz I’m on the high school team wish the season was longer tho
DAMNIT!!! Now I need to go back to the range and start only hitting stingers. I work on low flight 6 iron for under trees but never this shot. Never remember it. Got to work on this one.
Not sure I can understand the noodle arms thing. Keeping your left arm stiff is gonna ensure not hitting a fat or thin shot, so not sure how you're gonna consistently hit a sure shot with flexed arms. Another element of this swing has to be more critical to the shot. Guess I just need to get out and try it.
I liked the before shot tbh. I think the way your guest was doing it is just another way to swing in general and causes you to pull your shot instead of being able to swing at it more or less normally like you were doing at the start.
"the further back you put it, the more spin you create"--I'm no physicist, but this makes no sense to me. Can someone explain this? The shots look great, but I'm confused.
If Tiger claims him inventing the stinger,?...then he is dishonest! Low ball flight shots were the ORIGINAL GOLF SHOT in and around early days.....home of golf, St,Andrews. Every hack and Jack played it as it was effective in the wind. Im sure Tiger copied it and renamed it. I think its a common punch shot

Well that kind of stings....
Shut the fuck up and get to the point.
What app do you use for the red shot tracing line?
I like to hit stingers out of sand traps, over the green, directly into the woods.
I think that is called catching it thin haha

I just cried laughing at this comment no joke 😂
Just hilarious!!!
"Can't hit a stinger with a wedge" ... Oh buddy, you should play golf with me
@@nilssarhage4083 Thanks for clearing that up for everyone
Agree normally with my 60 degree wedge when im close to he green
Played in a random foursome. Kid hit a pw 100 yards. 5 holes later a 200 yard sw 😂😂

With how much I suck at golf. This is SICK and makes me wanna learn
Good job Brody, that's fun to watch. Your humility is the key to your videos. Keep it up kiddo.
Brodie is getting better at golf every video.
slow process
How about close-up with foot position and club face impact (from behind) on a slow motion for the banana cut and draw. Thanks. PB
Dude your videos are so fun to watch!

These golfing videos are relaxing man. It's always a great seeing a new video up
Recommended club??
I’m between getting a 3 or a 2 utility iron in my bag for these shots
I can hit a stinger with all my irons. I just never know when I'm gonna launch one though but I can say it is usually at the wrong time to launch one.
Awesome Vid! I can't wait to start practicing this shot myself on those days where the Driver isn't working for me.
4:55 What? The spinning, rising stingers are THE iconic Tiger’ stingers 🤨
You have a new fan and follower! Keep posting ! Hit em straight!
Zac is so consistent in all his videos as to how he performs this shot. I am starting to become proficient but as Zac stated he had a year to perfect this one year
I cant wait to get to the range and have a shot, do yu think you need some actual ground below you maybe?

all brodie's swings - "how to hit a punch shot"
Miss seeing those disc trickshots cuh
Cool I want to try and hit this shot now on the range!
i think we need to press our left grip little bit to controll swing line..

boom! Go crush it!

hey whats ur ave swinspeed with iron 7 and he driver :)?
Can someone please tell me how Brodie is this good after only a couple months? I need your practice routine!

thanks!!!
Thanks Zac!, practiced today and hit 5 awesome stingers, wasn't doing it right, followed your method and BAM!!
thats what I like to hear
tony simmons That’s so awesome to hear!!
@@ZacRadford Didn't realize I was gripping too hard. Even on normal swing, gripping lighter has helped me. Thanks!!!
tony simmons so glad to help 👊
Makes me wanna play golf right now. Shit wish I could afford to play more often
go out to a range!
Brodie Smith Golf woah thanks for the reply. But I live in Boston a bucket of balls is 12 bucks. But I do get to play a lot in the fall cuz I’m on the high school team wish the season was longer tho
I've got 58 ° mac daddy wedge and I can hit a stinger with it 50 yards past the green😥
Will I be seeing that shot on Monday?
Zac is a stinger legend on IG. Love to see you guys collab'ing
glad you enjoyed the stingers!!!
Knocked Stiff Golf Much love 👊
Bro I follow you since best ever horse game I Love You
Thanks for the support!
same principal with woods ???
I prefer to hit stingers with my 60 degree wedge, usually from 80 yards out and it goes about 140 yards.
12:19 You were looking for a what....? lol
Brodie you have a mustard swing!
no idea what this means but I like it
@@BrodieSmithGolf mustard means good
Can u do this with ur Driver/Woods like Tiger? Same Technique?
Yeah. You want a low loft. So obviously you aren't gonna be able to do it with a wedge but I'd say you could go up to a 4 iron and still hit a stinger
DAMNIT!!! Now I need to go back to the range and start only hitting stingers. I work on low flight 6 iron for under trees but never this shot. Never remember it. Got to work on this one.
Watched this and went straight to the range. Bought 100 balls. Attempted 100 stingers. My next round I don’t think I’ll be hitting a regular shot.
Lets Go!
Cool nice video Brodie
how bout a stinger only course vlog?
King Noodle! 🤣
Zac is like the twin missing brother of Cleetus McFarland

Mcluvin the content on this channel!
its a useful shot to hit, if your in the woods. And Tiger uses it
My money is always on Z-Rad when it comes to the stinger game! Haha. Nice work though.
I hit at least 5 stingers per round, my mates call them toppers, what do they know.
Bro you were smoking that stinger by the end!!
slowly getting there
Love these comments it really makes me realize I’m not the only awful golfer in the world
I was wondering what the name of the shot I was doing. My follow thru is a bit more shallow than your guys. Maybe half way up to my waist/chest.
Probably just a punch shot.
Need to use Tanerite as a target....pick up at any Academy Sports !!!
what is that?
Golf ball wouldn’t set it off. Takes a high power rifle for ignition
It should be done off tee so u can hit it down on the ball
I liked the before shot tbh. I think the way your guest was doing it is just another way to swing in general and causes you to pull your shot instead of being able to swing at it more or less normally like you were doing at the start.
These look nothing like tigers stinger ball flight. His start low and literally go up high
literally
Rich Boii I’ve been behind Tiger at the Masters when he hits a true stinger. It does not ever go high.
Brodie is starting to look like tiger
Tiger Tiger Woods Y'all!
3:13 Gonna show you one here. Can’t see a thing 😑
@12:15 "I thought we were really looking for a big... DONG!"
hahahhahah how did i miss that, he slipped that Dong right past me
That shot is more pure than Stephen Curry's jumper
In the running!
There’s pure and there’s peyure
You should of just added a loud DONGGGGGGG!!! 😂😂
haha yea probably
Come play i houston Texas bro
"I thought we were really looking for a big dong" - Brodie Smith 😂
“With a baby draw” hahaha
hi
6:36 Everyone gets this part wrong....Zac's right asf!!!
Tight arms and hands = speed killer, it tends to shoot up with little distance.
U need a mic at the target good vid mate
Looking for more satisfaction with that trick shot? Put a gong about 220 away. There's your pay off for a trick shot.
def need that next time
That’s awesome
잘보았습니다!
"the further back you put it, the more spin you create"--I'm no physicist, but this makes no sense to me. Can someone explain this? The shots look great, but I'm confused.
We need to see some stingers at night under a lit range!
Is there a lit range in Dallas?
I’m not sure! Is there a top golf there maybe that would work??
That first swing was it, why did you act like that wasn't the shot. That was one of your best swings you've had
He chunked it too much. You had a better "tiger stinger than him". He had too much backspin
did anyone realise he didnt pin any comments
#stingermygolf
Anyone see the “15 shots” ad? Someone tell the purple shirt guy his shirt is too small
So "covering" the ball means having a square club face?
Brodie's favorite comment!
so far you are in the lead by time can change
@@BrodieSmithGolf :)
Host the Stinger Tournament and have a watermelon down range raised up abit so when the balls curving up it'll explode it 🍉👌
Too much Brodie not enough zac haha
Do a hole in one challenge.
Oh dear got to get my swing a little better before that
@@BrodieSmithGolf Nah. ppl get lucky all the time. :)
My dude Edoardo Molinari (European Tour) did a video where he hit almost 500 balls and made ZERO. It would be absurd.
@@1b0o0 Yeah I watched that, but all it takes is just a little luck.
God bless great job
Addicting? Sting
Alright, you’re with Zac who’s BF with GM golf. Soooooo...please get him on and you guys play a round!
Chad Cook we all need to tee it up soon for sure!!
It’s a punch shot basically
You didn’t have one 😂
Try to not destroy the range next time... linear divots please

Brody how are you always so optimistic. You like a boiling hot oil jug spitting out social serenity. I use to be like that, not anymore...
He makes a living making RUclips videos about frisbee and golf, it'd be kind of hard not to be perpetually optimistic in life lol
shot is great for when the driver is a being a bitch lol :)
just getting something in play is always better than blasting a shot OB
@@BrodieSmithGolf amen. i just bought a 2 iron GAPR its quite nice for the low stingers.
