Produced by Golf Digest for Farmers Insurance. As unbelievable as this shot looks, Rickie Fowler and Butch Harmon explain how it will work for you, too. Transcript: Butchy. Hey. What s up? Oh, you missed the green, uh? Well, what do ya got? You can hit this. Yeah. I mean, fine. I ll just go over it. It s cool. Over it? That s too easy. Anybody can go over it. Just hit it through it. Let me see what you got there. Okay, fine. Let s challenge it. I ve seen it. I know how to play it. That s true, and you played a good shot, but let s talk about how you played the shot, and why you played it. For me, I would say this is a pretty generic pitch shot. You re not trying to make it too complicated, although we have a golf cart in front of us. But, that kind of gives us a little bit of a window. So, you re really just working on controlling trajectory here. So what mechanical things do you try and do? Big thing is not a whole lot of hinge in the wrists. There s not much turn on the way back. I like that. But, then the way through, the body continues to rotate, and then I like to think about the chest kinda finishing at the target. That s really good too, because the average guy at home, they just stand so still and just slap at it with their hands, It s kinda, this. And they ve got no chance. Alright let s see it. So, not much turn, then turn through the ball. [Rickie] Wasn t too bad. [Butch] Yeah, it was alright. Pretty good shot. Why don t you hop in, I ll hit another one through. Sure, no problem at all. You got this, right? Yeah. I got another ball right here. You re okay with this right? Yeah, for sure. How s this right here? Good? That s perfect. See ya.
