![]() There are exceptions to the “rule” and you are not always going to hit lower shots to back pins and high ones to front locations. Now, when the pin is back and we have more room, we can hit a lower, more controlled shot where the ball will bounce once or twice and then stop. Usually when we have a short pin or we have an obstacle (bunker, hazard, false front) in front of the green, we want the ball to come higher because we do not have a lot of green to work with. In the video below, I have shown you two different shots from similar distances, to different pins and using different clubs. Select the right club for your approach shot It is important to know that you do not always need to be attacking pins, you have to be smart about it, but those ones that you can attack you want to make the best choice. Yardage book examples used by pro golfersĪgain, having different options to go at greens is key to be able to hit the ball closer. To record and keep track of yardages for each club you can us an app on your phone or a good old fashioned notebook. This distance control drill not only applies to your wedges, but also could be used for irons. For instance, you hit the same or very similar distance with a full lob wedge as you do with a ¾ sand wedge, but the ball does not fly the same, the sand wedge will fly lower. If you noticed, you not only hit different yardages but also trajectories. ![]() But for this specific drill, try to keep the same tempo on all your shots and do it with a neutral speed (whatever tempo feels natural for you). When it comes to playing on the course sometimes you might have to swing a little harder if you are hitting into the wind or you are between clubs. While doing this drill, pay close attention to the tempo on your swing and try to keep as neutral as possible. If you did the drill we provided above and you have three wedges in the bag (gap, sand, lob) you should now have nine different distances. You must engage your body and turn through the shot if you want to hit a solid wedge.One of the first things we need in order to put the ball close with our wedges is to have options. The explanation is a bit unorthodox, but the logic is sound. the club will pass your body and you will get out of sync. If you stop moving your body when you get to impact, the club will “run over his a–.” I.e. In this comparison, the donkey is your body, and the wagon is the club. It might be a smaller backswing and follow through than a full shot, but that doesn’t mean you should abandon those fundamentals when hitting a shorter distance. When you’re hitting a pitch with a wedge, you want to engage your body in the swing. Now, you might be wondering how exactly a donkey and a wagon have anything in common with swinging a golf club, but there is much truth in Trevino’s simile. If the jacka– stops, the wagon runs over his a–.” “It’s like a jacka– and a wagon,” Trevino says. #TrevinoTuesday #TheLeeBuckClub #LeeTrevino /BtdnfICgXC- robmillertime February 7, 2023 Here, Lee Buck talks body rotation during the wedge swing with (ShortGameChef on IG).
