There have been many things said about how to get your wedges to spin more, and some of them were correct to a certain degree, however, we aim to get past many of the myths with this edition.  First & foremost, hitting down on the ball does not make it spin more.  Unless of course you’re having problems with contact.  That’s a different cure.

This is about, really and shot between 20 & 70 yards where you have a decent amount of green to work with and a Clean lie.  Like any short game shot, there are the right and wrong situations to use them.  This shot is no different.  Here is a great list of things to keep in mind;

  • The ball and club face must be dry.
  • Your angle of attack must be very shallow.
  • There must be no grass in between the ball and club face.
  • Sand on the face of the club can increase spin.
  • The dynamic loft of the club at impact must be between 40* & 45*.
  • The ball will take one big hop before it stops so it can be tough to execute with front pins.
