How does one best control the strike point with their wedges on tight lies (assume 40-60 yard shot)? I think these shots are very difficult and the margin for error is small. One time my strike point will be behind the ball and I'll hit it fat, the next time my strike point is well past my ball and I hit a low bullet.
What about uphill or downhill tight lie shots?
Should I have more bounce on tight/bent fairways? Increase the sole width (to increase the effective bounce)?
strike point = where my club first contacts the ground.

Here is the secret, use the bounce. Club head should be lagging slightly, but soft arms and the left wrist flexing THROUGH impact exposes the bounce for bigger margin for error.

moradman -
So the club head and shaft are pretty much in line with each other (no big lag) at impact?
When you mean left wrist flexing do you mean a little cupping instead of a little bowing or flat left wrist?

It will line up, but be in process of flexing. different release points for different trajectories.
Setup with the amount of forward shaft lean you are looking for... then with a dynamic change of motion (dont throw clubhead at ball) get the shaft to lean the SAME amount at impact. Soft elbows, soft hands.
Feeling is hands stay about hip high, clubhead gets to neck high at end of follow through.

Thank you. Good video post.
Am I correct that on the final chip before the video ended the toe of the club didn't pass over the heel?

Was there a cup near impact and post impact? That closes my clubface.

left wrist dorsi flexing. not forearms rotating counter clockwise.

Isn't dorsi flexing related to the feet???
Regardless, isn't that still of "flip" if ones left wrist breaks down?

isn't left wrist dorsi-flexing = flipping?

yes. different release points for different trajectories. ie different length follow through arcs.

isn't left wrist dorsi-flexing = flipping? Yep, basically. Perfectly acceptable and for many shots required in a pitch. Use the leading edge and you risk digging or thinning (and, of course, the trajectory is limited in how high it can be). |

Would the shot in the video have a higher trajectory than a shot where the left wrist is flatter at impact and the hands are ahead of the shaft? |
