Trackman Teaching Series - Spinning Your Wedges

Andrew Rice - PGA Teaching Professional

In this episode of the Trackman Teaching Series, Rice shows you how to produce that mid-range wedge shot that hits and stops. If you are looking for more spin on your approach shots, this is the tip for you.

[bobcastelline]

Wow. Great video! Can't wait to get out to the short game area and try this.

[cooker]

Great stuff.  Wish more people could comprehend how to hit these shots.

Thanks Andrew, awesome video and explanation. This is going to help me loads with my pitching!

[henrikdahl]

Great vid. Talk about one way communication lol

[deldridg]

James, stop talking and focus please! :-)

Excellent vid and I will be practising this today. My short game is reasonably solid but I've often felt my trajectories are too high and I do have a more fadey spin axis. Great stuff and I love your teaching style Andrew. Cheers from Sydney, Aust - Dave PS. For my money I would find an open stance like James's would add difficulty to the in-to-out swing feeling. I've been taught to have a square address for these types of shots (Pelz). :-)

Wesley Bryant takes divots and he was No. 1 on PGA tour for 50 to 125 yards.

I like square stance with this maybe flaring the left foot slightly, If I am dragging and aiming right keeping it shallow it draws nicely from 40-50yds

Hitting the flag did what int erms of the final ball pisition? Anyway I hear a bunch of number but where is the ball?

[timmcgrath]

His swings were steep, check the divot at 4.53 and there was no way his clubhead was hitting in to out. Yet his spin numbers and Dynamic loft numbers were good.

[Gaber]

what a backyard! trackman=best out there

[paleheroes]

Andrew, are his feet open to the target? What should setup feel like with shoulders, hips and feet?

[hindeshotelra]

Good video... But why.. i. e. Why would a low trajectory, draw spin wedge shot be better for what circumstance?

[alienblob]

on full swing sand wedge shots, would you get more spin with a inside out or outside in swing path then

[matthewmiller]

Do u play this shot back in stance club handle verticl

[riverreasteve]

I strongly suspect that James is already a very good golfer? Good lesson though.

7 yrs ago? Is no one hitting low wedges anymore? ☺️

Love this video, but promoting a low draw spin requires both enough green to allow ball to check up, and a ball that’s $50 a dozen. If a pin is tucked this shot flies too low to get close
