Getting Punch in the Wedge


Golf Tip#2 Getting Punch in the Wedge

Hands firm through impact for solid wedges
The fault is still the same. Hanging back on the right leg and scooping is probably the number-one fault I see with students. But the fix today is different. You'd probably say it was correct. But what Lew Worsham does in the picture is not always what he says in the text. This is an example of how teachers taught what they felt in the swing, not what they were actually doing. In the original tip, Worsham talks about keeping his head steady, but in the picture his head is looking over to the left side of his body. He also talks about using his hands a lot in this swing, but in the picture his hands look steady. To hit this shot today, you want to take your hands completely out of it. Take the club back and rotate only your body, keeping your hands and wrists firm through impact without a lot of flippiness. This is especially true for high-handicappers, because their version of "hands" is scooping.
