Leek- ive seen it done and ive said nothing-..its more common than you think. I have see this sort of thing done and done nothing because it is a bureaucratic nightmare giving evidence against a cheat..lol!

I'm glad you said something about that. I was playing someone once who normally took practice swings next to his ball but while I was playing him for a spot on varsity in high school he managed hit his ball into some high grass and took some practice swings behind his ball. (taking out all the grass behind the ball) Giving him a nice lie and a nice shot. I never did speak up about it. It would have been a charlie foxtrot of a situation.

Practice and experimentation. Different clubs, different ball positions, different tempos, different grip pressures. Find what works best for you. We can all give you what we do but I have found that there is more than one way to skin a cat!

I use a 57 degree wedge. Center of stance. Don't let your hands get ahead of the club. Let the loft do it's thing (but don't scoop it). And it's not a sweeping swing either. Kinda pick it up abruptly on the backswing and let it flow!
