One of the best shots you can have in the bag is a “stinger”. A stinger is also known as a knock down and it is a useful shot when playing against the wind or when you have a tight fairway and you need some extra control off the tee. The stinger was made famous by Tiger Woods, who had the best stinger 3 iron you will ever see. Tiger Woods won the British Open at St. Andrews using primarily his stinger 3 iron to help him avoid those crazy bunkers, without sacrificing much distance because the hard fairways helped his ball roll out. At the practice range when you are working on your stinger shots, open your stance a bit, put the ball in the back of your stance and really fire your hips – you want to ensure you get your lower body into the shot and finish with a low follow through
