Use the bank to kill short-sided speed
For a tight, short-sided position, the instructor's preferred option is a hinged release-one shot into the bank with a 52-degree club. Visualize two to three bounces off the green and use the bank to reduce the ball's speed. The intended shot flies low with some check and then runs up the bank.
