Spin Your Wedge Shots

Problem

Needing maximum amount of spin with a lot of loft.

Cure

The more surface area available for contact with the clubface, the more spin is possible. So ideally, you want the ball to be sitting up off of the grass as much as possible.

Therapy

Place most of your weight on your front leg and lean your body towards the target. Swing upright and keep your arms and the club in front of your body. You should rotate your trailing side during impact but make sure your trailing arm does not rotate over your forward arm. The forward wrist should stay ahead of the ball, the shaft angled toward the target, and the knee on your trailing leg pointing ahead of the ball at impact.
