Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
In this week's tip I want to talk to you about what everybody loves how to spin your wedges. Now the 1st thing we have to have the right conditions you have to have a dry clean new wedge. If you look down at your grooves on your wedge and they are all beat to death or this way just 10 years old not going to spin here. I have a brand new wedge you still feel some of the tackiness on the face we have a tight lie and our wedge is nice, and nice and dry we can't come in here, and spend it with a wet face or a bad wedge. So what we're going to do is going to put the ball back in our stance just a little bit, and we're going to make sure that we lean that shaft forward just a little bit we want to de-loft the club just a touch.
Now I didn't say drive the club into the ground and I didn't say lean the shaft forward 10 degrees I said make your normal wedge swing but just lean the shaft forward just a touch So here we go ball just little bit back in our stance. And we're going to lean that shaft for just a little bit coming through so the ball comes out a little bit lower and it's spin. So the ball hits the green, and there you go style points galore. So remember when you're spending your wedges you've got to have the right conditions you got to have the right wedge you got to have the right lie we're going to make our normal golf swing and lean forward just a little bit and that will make the ball stop just a little bit quicker.
