Use “Bounce Plus” To Improve Your Wedge Play
The Right Wedge Bounce – AND Good Wedge Technique – Produce Confident Wedge Play!
Many of you have seen this picture before. It shows the wedge wear pattern for a golfer playing with a wedge that is not suited for his game. In the past, I have discussed the need for most golfers to play with more wedge bounce than they presently use – particularly in their lob wedges.
Lately I have been working on improving my wedge play – chipping, short pitches, and sand shots. There are a lot of great videos on the web that can be watched to see good models for improving your technique. Here are links to three very good ones that I watched over the weekend:
Luke Donald – Front Edge Pitch
Fred Griffin – Bounce Your Chips
There is one thing I found that was consistent in all of these videos – ALL of the shots created very small, if any, divots. These guys do not have a lot of forward shaft lean at impact. Also, I believe that they did not have a lot of downward angle of attack at impact in their short wedge swings.
So play your short-game shots with the right tools – in particular, with wedges that have the right bounce for your game. But also realize that improving your wedge technique can make your short-game play even better.
