    Great tips. Enjoy your approach to the game. Ok, I am a 13 handicap. This shot FOREVER f*cks up my scorecard. I will take out the lob wedge, set up, take some nice practice swings, establish some tempo. I make the shot, and get the bacon strip divot and have the ball go maybe 15 yards. WTF? Also have this happen with other wedges on full swings. I have 100 yards, pull out the sand wedge. Again, ball in the middle of the stance, take some practice swings, execute and same result. I never seem to ‘flush’ the wedges above 50 degrees. Suggestions?

    bring weight forward o nleft foot and slow swing down I am a bigger fan of a more seeping shot than a down ward motion to nip the ball more forgiveness for higher handicaps

    Matt, another nice video. I spend alot of time in the short game area, so I’m pretty confident about these kinds of shots. What I would luv to see from you is a video on Full swing wedge shots. How to set up. When to use them, and maybe how swing mechanics differ for full swing wedge shots. Thanks

    Interesting to see that the higher the ball flew the higher your hands were at the end of the stroke.

    Tried the 60 on Tuesday, and sliced it right at my partner (age 92) knee. Not sure I’m going to try that shot again in the near future.
