It sounds simple enough, doesn't it? Three steps:
- Place the ball in the middle of your stance.
- Keep your hands a bit forward of the ball (lean the shaft forward).
- Make a steep downswing so you can hit down on the ball.
Note also that Butch says the clubface will be a bit open. You don't have to change your grip to get that. It happens because you move the ball back in your stance and lean the shaft forward, which means you hit the ball before your club has time to square up completely. You might want to allow a little for that when you address the ball, but don't open your stance much. That's something you'll learn with experience.
And remember, this creates a lower squirting shot, so you probably don't want to try carrying hazards -- at least, not until you've hit this shot a few times and know what to expect.
