Now the impact position of any golf shot is very, very important, but because a chip or a pitch shot deals so much with finesse, the accuracy of the strike is so important to us. A thin shot will go out of bounds over the back of the green. A fat shot will go into that front bunker. So the impact position, very, very important. But again it quite closely mirrors and matches your address position. So if you had the address position correct for a wedge shot with the ball middle, body weight left or body weight to the front like, hands down, leaning forward; this is pretty close to your impact position as well. We’re going to have a little bit more forwards and a bit more turn. That’s the only real difference we’re going to have for these good wedge shots. We’ve got ourselves a nice picked back swing with turning into the left side. Now it’s a case of keep the hands ahead of the golf ball and stay on top of it.

The only bad shots we can often get from — this position would be leaning back and flicking and giving it the eyeballs to see where it’s gone, you know, looking up. So we’d get back and then we’d lift up to see where it’s gone, hit — strike over the top of the golf ball. So once you’ve done all that hard work to get yourself into a good top of the back swing position, just stay down with it, trust that if you stay and hit down — the feeling is very much you’re hitting down; you stay and hit down, that ball will come up quite nice with a clean, crisp strike. So there’s good set up, picked up, hit down, look up slowly and the ball’s on the green next to the target. Any time you pop up to see where it went, that’s when you risk hitting your bad shots.
