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.

    • Right - better can mean different things depending on the situation. It might mean scoring better or it might mean closer to a functional swing (which in the moment might be scoring worse). 
    • That's certainly "basic" information. I need a lot more info than just that for a good chunk of my even teen-handicap golfers.
    • As we said… define "better."
    • Phone launch monitors are only getting better.  The cameras are improving with each new generation of phone and software is getting more accurate.  It is only a question of time before phone apps are good enough for all the basic information a golfer needs (club head speed, ball speed, carry distance, total distance).  It makes me wonder about the value of launch monitors in the long run, barring high level amateurs and professionals who want very accurate data and more parameters
    • I live in South India so temperatures are virtually never cold enough to stop play.  Just that the monsoon can make play difficult.  I am just not willing to play in the rain and kind of reluctant to play when the ground is soggy and balls are plugging all the time.  And since we don't have snow here, any time the ground is dry enough I am willing to play
