Okay, it's been happening a lot more than I'd like when I'm around the greens in heavy rough and I'm trying to play a flop shot with my 60 degree wedge...

Actually, it's happened even when I'm not trying to play a flop shot, just a chip. I think it's because I'm not breaking my wrists when I take the club back. I've been using more of a putting stroke with no wrist cock and I think it might be why, but was wondering if anyone has any insight\suggestions...thanks!

Been there, done that. Like said above, I tend to do it when I don't catch it clean on the initial strike.

You have to accelerate through the ball. If you are double-hitting it is because you are not trusting the club to do its job, and decelarreting through the ball ball. Keep your wrists ahead of the club, eye on the ball, and accelerate.

Yep...you have to commit and have an aggressive move through the ball, no decel allowed.

the reason why you are double-hitting it, is simple. the club face is going too slow due to not enough accelaration at point of impace.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
