Non-guaranteed advice from @ClubProGuy, our favourite Twitter professional
The question I’m asked all the time in bars and on social media is, “Are there really secrets to punching out sideways?” You’re darned right there are, and I have 17 made cuts in my 14-year career on the Mexican Mini-Tour to prove it. I got so good that fellow pros would mutter sarcastically, “Nice bogey” while my ball was still in flight and headed for jail. They intuitively knew a highlight punch-out was coming. My fans didn’t spend their hard-earned money to watch me take drops, and I don’t recommend it for you, either. I led the tour in Strokes Gained/Punching Out Sideways (SGPOS) eight years in a row. These are my five keys.
RESPECT EVERY BRANCH.

AMATEURS OFTEN STAND OVER THE BALL with their feet too wide apart. I understand the appeal—they want to feel more stable throughout the swing, and a wider stance seems a logical way to achieve that.
