Advanced Golf Shots: Tackle Any Challenge
Stop guessing your way out of trouble. We teach the mechanics of difficult shots—from bunker escapes to controlling your trajectory in the wind—using logic, not luck.
To increase clubhead speed, you need to understand how the body generates force. This unconventional drill of throwing a club helps players feel the correct sequence and arm extension.
Fairway bunker shots require a "ball first" contact. We teach you to take an extra club, grip down, and maintain a stable lower body to execute this challenging shot successfully.
A player demonstrates the technique for a fairway bunker shot, hitting the ball cleanly out of the sand. Notice the stable stance and controlled swing needed for this long-distance recovery.
A quick look at a day of practice at our academy. From the driving range to the bunker, we work on every aspect of the game to prepare our students for the course.
Playing in the wind requires you to control your ball's trajectory. We demonstrate how to hit a low shot by moving the ball back in your stance and restricting your follow-through.
About Advanced Shots: Tackle Any Challenge
Okay, so the biggest mistake people make in a fairway bunker is trying to scoop the ball. You need 'ball first' contact. Take an extra club, grip down an inch, and keep your lower body stable. If you’re swinging from your heels, you’re never getting clean contact. Let’s fix that setup so you can escape the sand without the headache.
When you're playing into the wind, you need to restrict your follow-through. It’s a simple mechanical change: move the ball back in your stance, choke down on the club, and finish low. It keeps the flight flat and the accuracy high.
At 9 Aces, we don't just tell you to 'swing smoother.' We use Flightscope Mevo radar data to show you your angle of attack and face angle in real-time. Whether you are dealing with a lip that’s too high or a lie that’s sitting in a depression, we break down the physics of the shot until it makes sense. If your ball flight is inconsistent, we can diagnose the issue in one private session. We focus on the 'why' behind every correction—because once you understand the mechanics, you stop fighting the course and start playing it.
