ADVICE

Dial In Your Wedge Equipment

Check your wedge setup and equipment before blaming your swing.
Get wedges fitted for loft, bounce, grind and lie to ensure proper distance gaps.

ADVICE

Shift Ball Position Back

Move the ball slightly back from the toes for full wedge shots to avoid thin strikes.
Test ball position on the range; many players hit wedges too far forward.

ADVICE

Keep Weight Forward At Address

Set up with weight forward (around 60% or more) to ensure ball-first contact.
Increase forward weight more for low bump-and-run shots to guarantee crisp contact.
