1) you have to make solid contact
2) when you make solid contact you will hear a click sound the ball make on contact with your wedge face
3) easy tips to make solid contact
a) keep your arm extended so the club is almost pushing down on the grass surface behind the ball
b) start you backswing following the normal raising path of your backswing
and your shoulders should rotate along with your arms.
c) rotate your shoulder forward and extend your arms forward after impact
d) if you hear for the click sound the ball is hit solid and the ball will check and stop after a few bounces.
e) try different ball position
f) take the club slightly outside and the ball will travel higher and spin right after the ball lands
g) try opening the club face slightly also.
h) use a high spin ball

Solid contact will see you start to impart spin and to achieve this I set the ball back in my very narrow stance, leaning my hands slightly forward of the ball. Without moving my lower body I draw the club back without breaking my wrist and then turn to accelerate through the ball.
