Play a low spinner off a tight lie with a lob wedge

The instructor plays a low checking spinner with a lob wedge: ball almost outside the back foot, coming in a little and hooking it. The key is to not travel down too much through the ball, but to keep opening the body up so the spine lifts a touch and creates space, which stops the club digging in.
