When we are nearer the green we are too close to consider a full swing with any club - therefore we need to shorten our swing.
For a swing less than full, yet still requiring a solid strike, consider placing 80 per cent to 90 per cent of the weight on your front foot. This will create a steeper down swing, thus simulating where we would be at impact if it was a full swing, but also gaining consistency in allowing our movement through the ball to be towards the target rather than away.
Posture must remain throughout impact to ensure we get a centre strike.
