Need help with the low “stinger” shot.

Ive given up on it. Im a mid-high ball player. I just grab extra club and let it rip.

Trying to hit a stinger puts too many thought in my head which is a recipe for "the laterals."

I do almost everything you said, except I tee the ball very low. I have the ball just in front of my right big toe, my back foot. I swing hard and down and I rarely miss this shot.
Its all the others that give me fits!

Don't put the ball in the back of your stance that will increase the spin rate making it actually harder to keep the ball down. Move the ball to the middle of your stance and lean the shaft a little forward of the ball and shift your weight ever so slightly onto your left foot (give you're right handed). Have your hands finish a lower and across your body like you're trying to hit a cut. Don't try to kill it either as that increases spin, let the club do all of the work. Just make sure you get a solid rotation and hands lead through the ball.

Make sure the shaft you have in the club is lower launch/high kick/and or tip stiff. Those little details will help as well.

For me it's ball back of the stance, normal backswing, finish as low as I can without releasing the club for as long as possible.

are your clubs fitted to you? Like a real fitting with a trackman not just hitting some balls at a net or on the range before buying.

The only thing I’d add that hasnt been said is closing down the face a bit

I spent hours and hours on the range as a teenager perfecting this shot. It took a ton of work, but once you get the feel, it’s a great tool to have.

Start with a long iron, ball middle of stance, 3/4 back while trying to avoid a big hinge, hard through, hitting down on the ball while keeping the hands in front, 3/4 follow through.

Get on the range and find the feel that works for you.

I’m not a “caster” but i’m consistently almost to the point of not enough shaft lean. I kinda live there and if I screw with it, my swing goes to crap. I’ll give all these tips a try, thanks!

I stand closer to the ball and think of swinging with soft arms which helps with lag and swinging a little shallower which produces the low spin stinger. I dont particularly care to hit one that starts out low and rises with tons of spin like you see on a lot of youtube videos.
