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.
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.
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 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 a course in Corpus and it's always windy, I've been looking for you, I see you on tok but never on TH-cam, now I have some practice to do. Thanks
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
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!"
Loving the stingers! I've got a 2 iron I don't use I really need to get it going for those low rising ones. You need to get back on tour and do live completion vlogs 😉
Awesome sounds, great video. Going to give this a shot at the range, only been to the range once and only ever had 1 round of golf so hopefully I won't have too many bad habits when trying this.
Man, by far easiest stinger approach. Took me about 8 tries then finally got it. Awesome and thank you! You mention approaching it differently with woods or hybrids. Do you have a video for that?
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.
Zac, great stingers. With the draw and fade, is the club face facing the target while you swing on the start line direction. If that makes sense. Cheers, Andy
Thank you King of Sting! My son just asked me what was the next part of my game I was going to work to improve...I told him stingers, so this is right on time! Thank you!⛳️🏌🏽♂️🙌🏽
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
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.
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.
Back in 89 I was in my mid 30s and started playing golf, one morning playing at Disney I was paired with a golf pro from South America(he was playing the FL tournaments). First tee long par 4, I pull my TM Tour Bunner😄 and to my rookie surprise I drive it about 170 from the green. mind you we played balata balls back then, this guy steps up and drives the ball hugging the fairway and it slowly starts to rise and rise and lands way past the 150 marker😳. I'm hitting a 5 iron into the water and he hits the green with a wedge🙄. today is the day I learned that he hit a Stinger off that tee😳 what a thing of beauty!

Please release a driver video. I love how you hit your driver always hitting bombs. I how to hit driver video would be great !
That’s so much money for a shirt that just has a tiny ostrich embroidered on it lol
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?
@@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??

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.
Stingers are so satisfying
Glad you enjoy them 👊
Best shot in Golf
@@etans2A saucy flop is even better

Well, behind Tiger off course!
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 👊
The best explanation I've seen so far, gonna have to practice this next time, great video!
As a new golfer this video is essentially wizardry
Yes indeed. Almost looks fake.
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!!
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.
This was the longest video ever to watch only cause I’ve replayed that intro about 45x.
That was majestic made me want to get back into golf!
Thank god u posted this...been waiting from a very long time
Hope this helps you 👊
Zac that was an awesome video and those shots are so cool and fantastic to watch. Good video brotha.
So glad you enjoyed the video 👊

Much love and will do 👊
Finally a golfing video on youtube that nails it !!!
Thank you for the lessons on the stinger...well done...
Much love 👊
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
I love the rizer shoot.. I did it on accident years ago and figured it out and that is my go to shot
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
The camera shots are incredible. Thanks for the tips. It will be a blast to give these a whirl.
Let me know how it goes 👊

The most qualified person to make this video
The clips at the beginning were naaaaasty 😍
What an awesome video dude. Its just good to see someone having fun with it, not trying to be so serious. Thanks man
Your stings matched up perfectly with the song in the begging. Very satisfying editing I must say.
this video is just a flex, not a tutorial. this is beautiful
wow Zac! I may not ever be able to hit these shots on demand the way you do, but man, it is fun to watch your shots!
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!"
Much love 👊
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
Beautiful shots. I love watching them.
The how-to we've all been waiting for!!! 😍
Hope it helps you 👊
Very well done. Great and clear presentation. You certainly have me looking forward to my trip to the range this afternoon.
Hope these tips help you 👊
Love the enthusiasm! GREAT golf!!!
These courses are just spectacular. Great video, thanks for sharing
I hit a sick stinger 4-iron from the trees on Labor Day. It was that low-rising stinger that bounced twice and stopped quickly on the green...saucy!!!
must...learn...STINGER. those shots are so freaking beautiful, Zac. damn.
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!!!
Amazing shots in that intro!
Best specialty shot vid out there. Thanks
The view of the golf course is amazing
Love to stinger vid. Would love to see some advice on chipping and flop shots on up slopes around the green.
Loving the stingers! I've got a 2 iron I don't use I really need to get it going for those low rising ones. You need to get back on tour and do live completion vlogs 😉
So glad you enjoy them and appreciate your support 👊

Love your videos Zac. You're such a nice guy.
Great stuff Zac, thank u.
Can't wait to master a few of those shots......
The riser or aeroplane shot as we call it was always my favourite to hit 👍
Possibly the best intro to any golf video every
Thanks Zac ! Giving it a go on the range tomo ! 💪🏾
Let me know how it goes 👊
Man, by far easiest stinger approach. Took me about 8 tries then finally got it. Awesome and thank you! You mention approaching it differently with woods or hybrids. Do you have a video for that?

Thank you for doing this Zach! I've been practicing and it's not easy

Easy to follow tips! Great job like always
Hope they help you 👊
I have done doing stinger after seeing this video.. Thanks man
Been playing this shot for 20 years, never knew it had a name.
That’s awesome, I’m trying to learn this shot.

Wooowww.. lovely.. does it to apply to every irons?
Amazing! Gonna try this haha.
Love it! Still working on it. Can’t quite keep it as low as you. Gotta keep practicing.
Absolutely amazing stuff .
I will work on my stinger. Thanks Zac.
Fantastic striking of a golf ball! 👍

Totally have to try this, given I play a links style course and the ball runs and runs and runs
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.
Zac Radford the "Sting King"!
Great video Zac, amazing shots...👍🏌️♂️
Is it possible to have a tutorial about stinger with rescue or fairway wood, thanks in advance
