How to play the bump and run shot - step 3

STEP 3: Use a putting stroke
The bump and run stroke is very similar to a putting stroke, it should be controlled by a rocking of the shoulders with very little wrist hinge on the backswing and keeping the hands ahead of the club head on the through swing.
