Stop Struggling with Your Wedge Shots

Hey, Quite The Chap here for GolfersRX. I’m not gonna lie; I get scared with those 50-yard wedge shots…in today’s video, a simple drill to learn How to Hit Wedge Shots.

I’ll be the first to admit it—from 75 yards and in, I tend to get a little sweaty in the palms. There is nothing I loathe more than chunking or, let’s call it, what it really is, whiffing on a relatively easy pitch shot. I mean, I’m not too fond of three-putting, but this really chaps me.

Wedge Shots

I found this great drill by Andrew Rice that helps in making better contact with the ball from 75 yards and in. You don’t even need a club.

Take an alignment stick.
Address an imaginary ball
Place the stick 3 feet behind where the ball would be
And drag the stick through impact
And to a finish

This is going to help you rotate through the ball
And, encourage your hands to lead the clubface
This is going to force you to use your whole body in the swing.
– legs, hips, and shoulders in the rotation through impact

Thanks, Andrew…my wedges are now crispy… how I like my bacon.

This is a simple drill that’s going to help you take your hands out of the equation. Don’t worry about what wedge to use around the green.  No flipping at the ball at impact. No trying to help your wedge shots into the air.

Until next time keep it simple.
