In a greenside trap, i'll take a LW Chip, and if I'm 33 yards away from the pin, I'll take the swing all the way to the end at the 23 dot and try (try) to hit the yellow mark at 5 o'clock. if I'm 36 yards away, i'll try to hit just to the right of the yellow mark at 5. you get a little extra distance by flying lower.
if I'm 9 yards from the flag, i'll swing the LW CHIP to the 10th dot.
naturally you have to "swing a bit harder" (add more dots) if its a steep uphill lie in the trap.
the SW straight or flop has never worked for me in a trap, whereas the LW CHIP over the years has !
I spose the easiest trap shot of all is to not get into them in the first place
you know what the easiest shot in IRL golf is ? the trap shot >>>> its where you don't actually strike the ball
