Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
In this week's tip I want to talk to you about connection and disconnection when you're hitting wedges. Just so you know I see a lot of players get in here and all of a sudden their body goes one way their hands go another their head goes another their hands do something else. That's disconnection and whenever we have disconnection we're going to have to trajectory issues we're going to have distance issues, and we're going to have impact issues we're not going to hit it very solid. So a good way to be connected and a good way to think about being connected is to think about the zipper the sternum in the hands and arms all go back together and they all come through together they never separate.
Now we all know the drill where you stick the head covers on your arms while that's great on the range out here on the golf course it's very hard to do. You can't glue your arms to your body but if you think about your sternum zipper in your hands you're going to find this could be much easier to be connected. So here we go we're going to think about everything back and everything through together sternum zipper hands back and through 1, 2 and as you can see everything went back everything went through. Hit it nice and solid and we had connection connections going to rein in your misses it's going to bring your trajectory down and it's going to make that ball hit that green once to take a big hop and stop. If you have connection you'll have better wedges.
