As a lefty, hitting the odd ball with a right handed club, i can give this advice, aim left. You will almost always hook the ball with an upside down club. Hence Tiger hitting it too far. You will have no spin, cos the grooves can't work, and the club will always be toed in for a draw. It's worth practicing though. Keep the ball back in your stance and hands ahead of the ball.

I hit this well once (with my club) before and can chip lefty with a lefty club okay, but not consistently. Not to brag though, just saying it's not so bad if you've practiced it before and find a routine when going into this shot. For me, I try to keep swinging back and forth on a short path like a pendulum, as to get used to the motion, then step up to the ball and do my best. It definitely is tough not just to hit, but to control since the ball usually comes off low and with barely any spin.
I have tried hitting a left handed shot.... not only did I NOT make an incredible shot, but I took a chunk of dirty out of the ground about 6 inches back from the ball and never touched a freakin dimple.
@startreking2007 If you already have a problem with proper coordination (good, consistent swings) right handed, imagine hitting a ball left-handed. I chip and punch shots as a lefty, but not consistently. Plus a right-handed club is not built to hit a ball well lefty, so the ball comes off differently (usually low with no spin). Unless you practice hitting left-handed a lot, you're not going to be good at it. Bunkers are challenging, but you're still hitting it on your natural side of the ball.
@startreking2007 It's hard off that lie and when you're just thrown into it (ie during a round and not just doing it for fun). I've tried that shot during a round too, but it was only a 30-40 yard chip out, not a full swing like this, lol. That was awesome.
@SherriesBrother not really near impossible, most players with a decent amount of ability and skill could pull off a left handed shot.....but ye that shot was pretty awesome regardless
@SherriesBrother its not impossible but it is difficult, im left handed and have hit quite a few shots right handed, now if he hit the green and made a birdie that would be a completely different story, but a pitch out... not as impressive
@blkjeepxj122 If you have to hit quite a few shots right handed, you must be a crappy player :) And yes his shot was very hard especially with the swing he out on it. The ball went much further than a pitch out.
and thats why you carry one left handed iron no matter what

@SherriesBrother How is that near impossible I thought sand traps where near impossible. Looks like a fairly easy shot to me.

@startreking2007 maybe cause you're a lefty? HAHA jp jp. But in my opinion I actually do think its pretty hard, not impossible.
