18 Shots: Into The Grain

Around the green, are you having a hard time getting your Titleist golf ball near the hole? Maybe it's time to go against the grain--literally. Sometimes the lie you have can be deceiving, with blades of grass going in the opposite direction of your target. This type of lie can cause the leading edge to dig, leading to a chunk. Titleist Staff James Sieckmann recommends you reduce the effective bounce and loft of your club, and add effective bounce and loft with your stance and setup. With a new setup, play the shot normally, and enjoy the round.
