Spin your wedges

When trying to spin the ball the easy answer is hit the ball better, however we really need to make sure we execute the shot cleaner. Follow the below and watch your ball sit next to the flag in no time.

Swing Thought “Think about hitting ball then turf.”

As you would do for a lofted pitch, you play the ball forward and open the clubface more. But adding backspin comes from a crisp, downward strike, not a long, lazy swing. With the face more open, you expose the bounce of the club. This part of the club will skid along the ground through impact. The sensation I feel is that the club hits the ball then the ground. I actually anticipate hearing two impacts: ball then turf. That will help me hit down and make a compact finish without releasing the club.
