Excellent lesson. With regard to the third shot, I use my 60 degree LW. One coach you may know, Gareth Raflewski, taught this shot almost identically. He had feet almost together, shaft straight in line with the sternum (your neutral position) with no shaft lean, then tilt the body slightly toward the target. Make the same kind of swing you do. But in addition, he said let the club land an inch or so behind the ball. The bounce will let it glide under the ball and pop it up. You have a fair amount of leeway with a glide path almost the size of a dollar bill, so it is much easier and more forgiving than trying to precisely hit the ball. Like your sand trap demo, you do have to make an easy but fully completed swing or the grass will absorb the energy and the shot will fall short. And you have to be aware of how long, thick and juicy the grass your ball is in and apply more energy and a longer swing accordingly. The rough around the green may not be deep, but it is usually well watered and thick.
