Know Your Wedges
|
Each has it's own character
|

Recently we have been spending some
committed practice time around the
putting green learning about our
different wedges. Most players carry a
PW, SW,and some other wedge as part of
their arsenal. Do you know how each
one behaves?
Obviously spending some time on the
range hitting full and half shots is
the
best thing to so. Being dialed in on
each wedge's distance is priority
number one, but seeing how each wedge
behaves with a half and three quarter
swing is just as important. And don't
forget to practice shots where you
choke down on the club. We all
have "punched" out of the woods hoping
not to go into the rough on the other
side of the fairway. Next comes the
practice green. It is remarkable how
each wedge behaves when the ball in
centered in your stance or back in
your stance. Each wedge has it's own
character when you hood the club down
or when you open it up. To be great
you need to know how and when you
should use each club in different ways
in short grass and long. That's about
six different methods for each club.
Try them all. Looks like you have
work to do.
