Everyone seems to spend so much time working on driving BH/FH and putting but there is little talk about get out of trouble shots. I'm trying to round out my game a little bit and work a little on the out of the ordinary techniques that can help shave off strokes when you get into trouble.
One of my new favorites that I'm working on now is the touch overhand roller shot as it totally saved par twice in my last tournament. It works great when you are in the trees unable to go up and over but no direct path to the basket as its protected by those trees. I've been trying to work on my overhand thumbers and tomahawk throws to get up and over but I have not had luck with accuracy lately.
What else do you guys use to get out of trouble and any advice to help learn them? Overhands like tomahawks, thumbers, overhand rollers, sidearm flick putts, half lids and anything else you can think of is up for discussion. Talk about the shot and when and why you use it.
Hopefully we can get enough discussion going that it can help a lot of people find some shots they never even thought about to work on to save strokes when that drive or approach shot doesn't go right where you wanted it to. Thanks!
