Add Spin

Problem

You are near the green and want to add a lot of spin on the ball.

Cure

Load your body weight on your forward leg and focus on hitting down on the ball.

Therapy

Select your highest lofted wedge and place the ball back in your stance. Set most of your body weight on your front side. Even though you are close to the green, you will still want to swing hard with a descending blow. Be sure to hit the ball first and then the ground.

keep your head still on this shot or you will skull the ball over the green every time...I KNOW.

Also resist the urge to "cast" your hands at the ball let the club and ball position do the work

I have noticed a new wedge with good grooves makes a huge difference with this

spit on the club face and add a bit of sand - amazing not in comps though !!!
