00:00I did the cross-handed for a long time just as a practice drill.
00:03My coach at the time, we did a lot of that stuff for the full swing,
00:06just helping me get the club in better positions on the way back
00:09and did it with chipping as well just to kind of feel a few different things.
00:15In the start of 2022, I looked at my stats at the end of the year.
00:20We'd had a team meeting and decided that I wasn't good enough from the fairway.
00:24I then carried on practicing a little bit harder with the cross-handed
00:27and felt more consistent.
00:30Just trusted it into the season and haven't really looked back since.
00:34I mean, it's great out of the fairway.
00:37I really feel like there's been more consistency in my strikes with it.
00:41It's harder out of the rough because you can't quite get the angle.
00:44You can't break your wrist as much.
00:47Conventional shots, basically, like you say, would be a lob shot.
00:51That's the only shot, really, that I can't play in terms of getting the same height
00:57because you can't get the angle into the back of the ball.
00:59But I can generate just as much spin, if not more, cross-handed.
01:03But obviously the issue is if you've got to go up,
01:07it's harder to get that elevation because it's just coming out with so much spin.
01:10So, let's start celebrating.
