Zac - Excellent vid!! Great tips. Just wondering. What's the difference in yardage between hitting a 4-iron stinger and a regular 4-iron shot? More or less?
Tip for my non scratch golfers. See how he sets up at 4:12 with his shaft already in the position he wants at impact. He didn't mention it in the video, yet does it. So just set up with the shaft leaning like that, and boom, instant stinger.
I noticed that as well. What I learned was the bring the hands forward from a middle stance. Sometimes I set up with shaft lean, but I’m back in my stance. Something to work on.
When I first started into golf, risers were all I ever hit with my driver. They were the coolest thing to watch. Just when you thought the ball would start to sink via gravity, it would take one last pop up with the spin, and then drop. Now that I have fixed my swing through lessons, I can't hit them anymore even if I try.
Okay, let's see: 1) ball center stance 2) 60% weight on the front leg 3) lead hard with the hands 4) rotate upper body while leading with hands 5) noodle arms I wrote this for my benefit.
I just saw Devan Bonebrake on the Golf Fix (The Golf Channel) shout out Zac and his Sitnger shot and mechanics! Glad to see you getting your props... "Let's go!"
Hi Zac, I got thank you for this video. I have been struggling lately playing in high wind. I've been practising your tips for hitting stingers to overcome the winds. Now I'm hitting them naturally and they are deadly accurate for me. As long as I rotate my body through the shot, I feel like I have it on a string. Today I had 7 nearest to pins and many putts for pins slammers thanks to your instruction. I feel like this might become a stock shot for me. I just need to learn how to sting my driver and 3 woods now.
Well, Zac, I’m so happy I’ve watched this as much as I have. I’m a mid/high teen handicap and have my days for sure. I haven’t had a chance to use this shot until tonight. I shanked a second shot on a par 4, hit the cart path and rolled under a stump. I took a drop, but still had about 80 yds and had to keep it under the trees. I hit a somewhat soft stinger and rolled it within ten feet of the cup. I saved a bogey, which would’ve been a double or triple usually. I can’t thank you enough for the video.
That was lovely to watch such a beautiful stinger shots and a very easily explained. Wao its treat to watch these stingers by you. I will try it and share the results
I play downland links course where the wind is ever present, like 25-40 mph. Trees grow sideways. The stinger is bread and butter. From driver to wedge its the best shot to have in your arsenal. Once mastered like Zrad has, it gives muchos confidence playing in the wind. Practice will master the shot. It's so fkn cool.
Me and my good mate KG play every weekrnd at Turramurra links and we regularly turn to our stingers to navigate the gnarly conditions, sometimes when teeing up a gust off ocean wind howls, we look at each other and nod, "STINGER TIME" no need to discuss. We've been mates since age 12 and have been stinging courses together for years
Watched this in the morning, took it on the course for comp in the afternoon- first three attempts were gold! Striped them. Had never hit anything stinger-ish before. Then got a bit cocky…..wheels fell off! But worth it- cheers
Whenever i attempt and am successful at a stinger i have to take hardly any divot You must have incredibly strong wrists. 30 years ago i was on a driving range with a famous hockey player, who had 3 bodyguards with him cause he was Russian. He hit irons over 280 yards, but what impressed me were the divots. The ground was hard clay with little grass, and he sent 12 inch divots like 20 yards with each shot.
I’ve struggled with stingers badly. I’ve only been playing about 8 months, but this video made me understand stingers perfectly. I hit some beautiful stingers on the course yesterday applying this. You earned a sub from me. Thanks for the content.
Whats your handicap now bro? 8months playing.. learning stinger shots! Sounds like your took to golf like a duck to water! Most people are just happy to make consistent contact with the ball after 8months 😅
I watched some pros hitting 3 wood stingers at 2nd Stage Q School about 10 years ago. Robert Karlsson was hitting some sick ones off the tee that rolled out to about 275.
Been playing about a year mostly in the 120s but I've recently gotten into the 90s. Last time I played I hit a 91 and I 100% attribute it to the crazy low stingers I was hitting with my 3 wood. Idk how I did it but it was amazing seeing the ball rocket across a lake 3 feet above the water and find the green 150 yards away
@@imcontemptwithlife4155 yeah I don't know if you read it but the ball was like 3 foot off the ground and over water. Doesn't seem like your contempt with life if you're just gonna be a troll
This is exactly the shot I need at my home course with its continuous but narrow fairways and high winds rewarding accurate ball placement and low spin.
Zac, everybody wants to hit your stinger, so why don't you SELL the technique and make some money off your talent? Like Eric Cogorno & Clay Ballard, you could sell internet access to your basic instruction, say for $45, and then, you could sell access to on-line, stinger swing corrections for another $45. Just $90 for the whole package! Guys would buy the $45 swinger tutorial, and then, they'd spend another $45 to get whatever stinger swing flaw they had corrected by you online. Cogorno & Ballard are making money and they're not selling as dramatic a product as you can.
Great tutorial video, Zac. You should intersperse these with the other videos. All facets of the game would be much appreciated. Do these shots put added torque on your upper body? It helps that your frame is long and lean. For us mortals that are older and thicker, that would be a challenge. To get your hands the far forward is almost against anything that was taught to me many moons ago. Give Andrew a big shout out. Take care. Stay safe.
You make the shot seem so easy, absolutely beautiful to watch. Do you know of any drills to help with trying to get the hands leading, or is that something that I need to just learn the feeling for.
Widen your stance big time trip down on the club to the shaft then try to scrape the butt end of the club on the ground. Hope that makes sense this is much easier to show than to type out haha

@@MillCityJam was wondering the same thing
Really good brother 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great vid. Maybe I can upgrade from my signature shot: The Stinker..
Mine is The Sinker....guaranteed to go swimming with every water hole on the course.
Lolol
Lmao
I've got The Thinner
🤣🤣 same bro same
I hit those big sweeping hooks and banana cuts all the time.
Just never when I'm trying to.
felt this
"I'm in this comment and I don't like it" lol
That intro was the coolest, most beautiful golf poetry I've ever seen. Fantastic, thank you!
So awesome to hear 👊
that first shot would have hit the tree and come straight back and hit me
Intro needs to be on instagram
What’s the name of this song??
@@acrillx4244 darude sandstorm
As a new golfer this video is essentially wizardry
Yes indeed. Almost looks fake.
The one and only king of sting
Much love 👊
Well, behind Tiger off course!
I can watch those opening stingers all day...simply amazing! That sting thru the v of the tree got me talking to myself lol
So glad you enjoyed them!!
I've played with many pros and tour pros. Your stingers are so dirty. I haven't really seen too many that are better. Well done!!!
Boom! Video starts with my 2 favorite stingers then when you "get to it" you start with the phenomenal stinger that just blows my mind!
Glad you enjoy those 👊
Tip for my non scratch golfers. See how he sets up at 4:12 with his shaft already in the position he wants at impact. He didn't mention it in the video, yet does it. So just set up with the shaft leaning like that, and boom, instant stinger.
Yeah no just leaning the shaft forward will not produce an “instant stinger” pretty sure the other 5 points are insanely more important
@@rBlake nothing gets by you eh
I noticed that as well. What I learned was the bring the hands forward from a middle stance. Sometimes I set up with shaft lean, but I’m back in my stance. Something to work on.
I feel like out of all the first 5 tips, ball position is the main take away. The other 4 tips are just good all around for pure iron striking.
The best explanation I've seen so far, gonna have to practice this next time, great video!
Stingers are so satisfying
Glad you enjoy them 👊
Best shot in Golf

Been playing this shot for 20 years, never knew it had a name.
That’s awesome, I’m trying to learn this shot.
must...learn...STINGER. those shots are so freaking beautiful, Zac. damn.
Your stings matched up perfectly with the song in the begging. Very satisfying editing I must say.

Hope you are doing well brother and thanks so much 👊
@@ZacRadford always bro 👊🏼
Those risers are pureeeee hubba hubba
Totally have to try this, given I play a links style course and the ball runs and runs and runs
Amazing shots in that intro!
WOW! These shots are awesome!
Glad you like them!
Man it doesn’t even look like your swinging crazy hard an the ball just goes!! I need to figure out how to put more yardage on my irons and my drive!
*ALL BEAUTIFUL SHOTS* 😊
Just realized every drive I’ve been doing is a stinger lmaooo
😊
I love how one of the golf courses in the intro is ion a large mountain must be expensive but worth it for the view
You make it look to easy Zac! Awesome vid thanks for the tips
Great stuff Zac, thank u.
Can't wait to master a few of those shots......
Thanks for this tutorial , including the side and front views. I made a cheat sheet of the five tips to take to the range and practice. Good video.
Your the man Zak thanks
This is exactly the shot I need at my home course with its continuous but narrow fairways and high winds rewarding accurate ball placement and low spin.
That was awesome!!! Thank you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I will work on my stinger. Thanks Zac.
that banana cut was sick !!!!!
Love it! Still working on it. Can’t quite keep it as low as you. Gotta keep practicing.
Whelp, I know what I'm doing at the range tonight. Thx for the tips man. Easily the sexiest shot in golf! 🤘
Let me know if these tips help 👊
@@ZacRadford will do
Absolutely stunning. Wow
Nice looking courses...oh yeah. I like.
Thanks for the vid, well done.
All of my stingers always end up low raking draws. Any tips on how to straighten out the ball flight?
Love the content.
I’m old enough to remember when this was called a knock down shot. 🙄
Then: 5 par, Now: par 5; Then: wrist cock, Now: wrist hinge; Then: albatross, now: double-eagle
Watching a stinger fly is the most satisfying thing ever
Great tutorial! Really hope you've invested in a lav mic since filming this
The how-to we've all been waiting for!!! 😍
Hope it helps you 👊
Can't wait to practice my banana cuts I've only pulled off a handful but now I have a fundamental regiment to practice
Gotta teach an amateur in the next stinger tutorial.... I might know a guy!
I hear you have mastered the beach with that 72 degree
I was just going to suggest the same thing and I know the perfect up and coming channel to do it on😉
Fantastic video 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Holy intro! 5 stars!
Of all the TH-cam golfers I watch Zac has the only stinger that could fly 200+ yards after starting under the wheel height of a shopping cart.
Haha much love Bill 👊
Saving this video ! 👌
How you shape the stinger is a thing of beauty mate 👌🏻👌🏻🏴🍑
Much love 👊
Cheers dude, cracking vid 👍👍⛳️
Great video Zac, amazing shots...👍🏌️♂️
Is it possible to have a tutorial about stinger with rescue or fairway wood, thanks in advance
your normal swing and stinger swing side by side would be nice to see
No joke just applied this at the range and people where watching like I was good at golf hahaha if they only knew.
this video is just a flex, not a tutorial. this is beautiful
On the draw or slice, where does the clubface point? At the target? Halfway between path and target? Thanks!
You make the shot seem so easy, absolutely beautiful to watch. Do you know of any drills to help with trying to get the hands leading, or is that something that I need to just learn the feeling for.

I hit stingers it's just from 30 yards with my 60 degree
Great vid, I like your teaching style.
But that sound coming off your clubs head I’m not familiar with.
How about a vid on hitting the high draw.
Dude. Loving your video.
Greetings from Großbarkau, Northern Germany (look it up on Maps 😂)
This vid should come with an X Rated Warning......😂
😂😂😂
This video has no real advice, as there is no real explanation. This is more you showing off.
Ray Ramono on how to hit a stinger
Nice tutorial. For anyone wondering, his 4i is 24°
You already did this video 9 months ago? Still the king though.
Stinger SZN 🐝
And at what point are the wrists kicking in to this swing ?
And do the hips have to win the race over the arms?
I just looked up “how to hit a stinger golf shot” and I see this, 41 minutes ago.
Hope it helps you sting it 👊
Zac, I have a question for you:
Is your left wrist 90-degree bent or straightened when clubhead contacts the ball？
I want to know what the folders for these clips is called on Zac's MacBook...! "Sweetest Stingers" "Delicious Draws" "Fabulous Fades"
I’m a skilled Golfer........but this shot is something I don’t have, been working on it for a while now. Got a new 4 iron shot fingers crossed
Hope these tips help you 👊
Amazing hits, Zac, what about hybrid and drivers 👏
I see you have bagged a new putter? Big difference will no off set too a lot of it?
You have some serious balls to attempt that first location. A little to the left or a little to the right and you're eating that ball.
there is no way in hell we can hit those shots with our game improvement irons.... sick
Holy crap! Do you live in Nashville? I thought I recognized some of those courses.
I sure do!
