Trap a low spinner only from tight Bermuda

A tight Bermuda lie also allows a lower, later-spinning alternative to the safer 8-iron shot. Play the ball outside the back foot and trap the leading edge, but do not try it from long Bermuda.

Try it

  1. Play outside your back foot.
  2. Trap the leading edge in.

Why this context matters

This is the higher-risk alternative to the 8-iron chip-and-run.
