Found My Swing With My Wedge

[ks8829]

I went out to the grassy field yesterday and practice chipping with my wedge I found a few simple swing tips that help me hit shot solid and make the click sound of a well struck ball.

1) rear shoulder lower made my backswing more compact and I was able to hit half shot solid with a click sound
2) pick up the immediately with a one piece take away

I played today and shot 2 over got up and down 8 out of 11 attempts. I can't wait to go out next time and see how the new swing holds up. The swing felt great and I was more confident with my irons, hybrid, fairway woods and driver.

I hit 11 of 14 fairways
8 greens on regulation
26 putts
got up and down 70% or 8 out of 11 attempts.
4 boogie and 2 birdies

I feel if you can't hit your wedge solid with the click sound everytime, practicing with other irons is a waste of time. Once you hit your wedge solid you can practice up and test the swing with other clubs in your bag all the way up to your driver.

It's not a waste of time. You can easily swing and hit perfect with the wedge, but once you get a longer clubs in your hands, it's easy to swing harder and longer. Trying to use the wedge swing for every club is a good idea, but not too easy to be consistent with. On the range, you can try hitting every second ball with a wedge to get the rhythm and tempo.

my theory is that once you are consistenly make solid contact with your wedge you can test the swing out with your other irons. What I do is warm up with my wedge and groove my wedge with solid contacts and then go out and play 18 holes.
