In this video, you’ll learn how to hit your wedges close.

My students often request to see me hit my wedges to get a better understanding of what I’m talking about.

So for this video, you’ll see me hit wedge shots (around 45 yards from the pin) while I describe fundamentals, tips, and what I’m feeling with the shots.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll learn in the video…

Stance

The stance is narrower than a full swing, but farther apart than with a chip shot.

For my wedge shots, I keep my feet around 8 inches apart.

If you want a little more spin on your wedges, try this…

Open your stance, open the club face a bit and make contact slightly more towards the toe.

Body rotation

Keep the body moving through the shot – hands, arms, and torso all moving together.

Avoid hitting your wedges with a stiff body and relying on an “armsy” swing. You might hit a good one every once in a while, but you just won’t be consistent.

Feel like you’re keeping everything together with a smooth swing and you’ll be able to hit your wedges well consistently.

Grip

Use a lighter than normal grip on your wedges.

Feel most of the pressure in the bottom few fingers of your left wrist.
