About Wedge Shot

• The wedge shot can be quite the task, whether we
  are talking about the long ball you have to smack
  80 yards after a terribly short drive, or the pop
  shot over the sand trap or hill onto your putting
  green. All these shots can be equally difficult,
  and if proper technique is not taught through
  golf training aids. You will be left chasing your
  ball all over the course, all day, with a rare
  appearance on the putting green.
• Follow these golf swing tips and you will have no
  problem in consistently hitting the ball
  correctly with any wedge you have stuffed into
  your bag.

Hit with more control and less force

• When you are reaching for the proper sized wedge,
  then you have either found yourself in the middle
  of the tee off point to the hole or you are on a
  par 3 hole and you must tee off with your chosen
  wedge. Assess your shot and determine what do you
  need in order to get your ball properly placed on
  the course.
• You need to understand if you are looking for
  more distance or if you need more loft, deciding
  this is what gets a lot of golfers screwed up on
  their shots. If you are going to hit with a more
  straight angled wedge for distance then you may
  want to hit with some power but still maintain
  the control of your swing. When you want to loft
  the ball high into the air so that is soars like
  a rainbow onto your putting green, then it is all
  about control. Think of what your full swing is,
  before taking your shot that requires a loft
  wedge and scale it back by 20, this will allow
  you to get a perfect golf swing and carry the
  ball much farther and where you want it.

Lower your hand placement

• This is a technique you should practice
  regularly, so that it becomes natural to you and
  your golf swing. The idea is to have your club
  close to your body with your back swing as if its
  wrapping around you closely. Avoid swinging up
  high on your back swing as you will lose a lot of
  your control and have a higher chance of a
  misfire once you bring your club down and hit the
  ball. By lowering your hands placement on your
  club handle, you will have a back swing closer to
  your body, making control and strength of hit a
  lot easier.

Grip softly with dominant hand

• You will typically use your left hand as the
  dominant hand when swinging during your putts,
  especially if you are right handed. For driving,
  you typically will use your dominant hand as your
  force would be on your right hand. For wedge
  shots, you should keep your dominant hand soft.

6
Always use pitching wedge for chip shots

• When you are faced with a short distance chip
  shot around the parameter of the putting green,
  always use your pitching wedge. By using your
  pitching wedge, you are able to add more loft to
  your swing and in turn more accuracy and the
  right amount of distance to the hole.

7
Open your stance

• When you walk up to your wedge shot, you need to
  assure yourself a proper stance when setting up
  your shot. It is one of the essential golf
  training needs that you must have in order to hit
  a proper wedge shot. You dont need a lot power
  with a wedge shot as long as your using a proper
  swing. But in order to achieve that, you must
  keep your hips wide open and stand a bit wide.
  Your hips need to be able to adjust with your
  swing so keep it loose and not bidden.

8
Hinge your wrists early and consistently

• You will find yourself sweeping, scooping, or
  pulling up your ball when you hit your wedge
  shot. If you want to properly hit your wedge
  shot, then you need to hit your shot swinging
  down and through your ball, and by doing so, you
  will create a nice divot hole when you make
  contact. To perform this properly, you must hinge
  your wrists early in your back swing. If you
  dont, then you may find yourself hinging in the
  middle of your swing and then it will be too
  late, and you will sweeping your ball into an
  inaccurate bouncing mess. Hinge your wrists first
  and you will have a proper and fluent swing down
  and through your ball.

9
Keep your front shoulder positioned down

• The most common mis-practice of swinging a wedge
  shot for amateur golfers is lifting your head
  before contact. This causes you to lift your
  front shoulder along with your head. This will
  take your back position out of place and your
  shoulder will follow suit, causing your swing to
  be inaccurate. Keep your head down and position
  your front shoulder to be underneath your chin as
  you perform your back swing and then as you
  swing, it will rotate in line with your body. The
  results will be a perfectly formed wedge swing,
  and take your ball to soar to the location you
  are pointing at.
• The wedge shot can be a very tricky and difficult
  shot. But if you follow these golf swing training
  aids that are proven ways to hit a wedge shot,
  then you will be able to decrease your golf
  training needs and improve your overall game.
