Never saw the ball. He could have been hitting it anywhere, and I agree the 1 ideo gave no instructions HOW.

I think there were stingers before Tiger. They may have called them by different names but he certainly didn’t invent them.

This should have been renamed as “Min Woo Lee hitting stingers”. There was nothing about this video that showed “How to hit the stinger”.

By this point they should really rename it to hitting a “Tiger”….only guy that invented a new shot in recent memory….yeah yeah yeah, i know its just a knockdown or a punch shot….
BUT no one ever put speed behind it with the intent of hitting it 270 before him!
Come at me haters.

I agree. All the guys using that shot are following Tiger’s style of play and course management. Tiger should get all the credit for the stinger.
