I then proceeded to write at the top of each circle approximately the average distance each club goes in my bag. As you notice each wedge is around 4 degrees difference therefore my wedges will be around 10-15 yards difference between the clubs. The drawing above includes my 4 wedges in my bag: Pitching Wedge (PW), Gap Wedge (GW), Sand Wedge (SW), and Lob Wedge (LW) and the specific lofts of the clubs from the manufacturer.
I am still winning but the more we are on the “Stay at Home” I can see him catching me soon!įollowing my last post of different wedges in your bag, I now would like to discuss how you can put these wedges into play. We actually made our targets have points and we add them all up at the end to see who wins. Also, I could use the swimming pool as a pretend lake to hit over to any of my targets!!! Yes, it is time to get creative and have some fun. Then I picked the swimming pool to chip and pitch into with an extra bonus garbage can for the very middle. I definitely wanted a towel so I could roll onto it when chipping. Now that I have my golf balls and clubs, I set up different areas to hit. Takes some control but with practice it isn’t too dangerous! Golf Balls: These are great for chipping practice to see the ball roll through the grass and also work a little bit on pitching with my Lob Wedge and even my Sand Wedge.

Plus the ball is a little denser so it feels more like a golf ball at contact.ģ. Foam Balls: Foam balls are great for Pitching farther and a little bit of chipping to see the ball roll a little. The ball doesn’t go real far but I can take big swings and the ball produces the great loft for pitchingĢ. Whiffle Balls: Great Pitching practice with all my wedges. It is not a super huge back yard but the way I can manage this is with different kinds of golf balls and my wedges.ġ. This just means that we have to find creative ways to practice! I grabbed some stuff around the house and created a little short game practice in my back yard. We don’t have to quit practice even if we are at home. When you are swinging you are ensuring that the clubface is moving down the line towards your target for clean contact. The second part of this drill is working on your extension with your club. On a second note you can also notice my shots are in a straight line. Working on getting the ball farther and farther while controlling the distance during the drill. You literally can do this drill all the way through your bag. The closer the balls are together, the better distance control you have, and can continue to add more balls to your line. Then continuing using your hips and taking longer and longer swings. Eventually you will have to transition to a pitch shop using your hips to get the ball farther. You start creating a line with balls down the driving range. Then our second ball we take and chip a little farther away. We start by chipping a ball about 5 yards away. This drill is actually one of my favorites!
Hi! I have had a lot students asking for some good practice drills lately. Instead of gripping tight, try to put that pressure somewhere else….shoulders….hips….etc.Ĭheck out the video and see if I showed good grip pressure or not! Swing! Did any toothpaste come out? If it did, when did it come out? At the top of your swing? Impact? How can you fix it. Grab a tube of toothpaste, take the cap off, and point it down at the ground with your golf grip and stance. So instead of us asking ourselves are we gripping the club too tight. When you grip it too tight, the club can not lag and can not create power.
The club itself has to have some wiggle to create lag to create the power the club provides. But if you hold the tambourine too tight it doesn’t have the vibration and the music is not very nice. Yes, a tambourine! It is the music instrument that when you hold it and shake it it plays music through the vibration. It is very similar to playing a tambourine. When we hold the club too tight we make the club shaft stiffer and the club doesn’t do what it is suppose to do. Unfortunately, this actually does the exact opposite affect. We all want to strangle the club to death to make sure the club does what we want it to do. This is one of the hardest parts of golf to teach.
