Slide the bounce through a wet lie

For a slightly softer landing shot, play release two from these lies with a shallow impact. Play the ball on the left foot and keep the right arm soft rather than driving it forward. Feel it slide through the wet turf. The bounce keeps sliding, and there is a bigger margin for error.
