There are actually two ways that I teach the Cut Shot.
The first is with the Cut Shot Therapy per 3-F-7-A using a 10-5-E plane line. This is usually taught to students with a Bent Left Wrist and Clubhead Throwaway.
The Student will be made to trace the plane line first with a shaft, then a regular club and finally with the club and ball.
The focus as always is to monitor the Hands and identify a feel that the mechanical exercise gives to the Hands. All the student needs to do to replicate the mechanics is to reproduce the feel that the Hands went through.
The other cut shot that I teach is per 2-C-2..."a cut shot is any Stroke using Vertical Hinging (10-10) through Impact regardless of Plane Line (10-5) or the preceding Wrist Action (10-18 )."
Please note that this shot has the same underlying principle as that of the Cut Shot Therapy.
I teach this exclusively as a special application of the Acquired Motion (12-5-2) although it can also be applied to the Basic Motion (12-5-1) and Total Motion (12-5-3)
Procedure:
1. Aim the clubface at intended target and then grip the club.
2. Without taking the hands off the grip, rotate the grip clockwise so that the grip becomes a 10-2-D grip, "which is very compatible with Cut Shot procedures."
3. Now the target line is way right while the plane line and stance line is still square to the original target line.
4. Rotate the target, stance and plane lines to the left until the target line is pointing back at the intended target. You now have a 10-5-D Open Open Plane Line.
5. Simply trace the new plane line with a vertical hinge - while swinging or hitting.
Use this shot around the greens in place of the more risky Lob Shot per 2-C-3 and see if you don't save strokes around the green.
Some students of mine love the results and the simplicity so much that they use this as their main short game stroke.
