Last week's golf fix about trouble shots

[Tifosinumerouno]

Hi all. Last week on golf channel's the golf fix, Michael Breed was showing some techniques on practicing trouble shots, particularly shot where your ball is up beside a bunker, where you would basically turn your back to the target and chip sideways. I have been having trouble with finding a consistent swing bottom on my pitch shots, mostly because I have too much hip movement and I can't seem to hold off the finish. I have to release the clubhead or my wrists hurting. So, I was in my yard today, practicing 50 yd pitch shots with the sand wedge, and I decided to try that trouble shot I described earlier, and all of a sudden, I had a good bit of consistency and my club was staying in the hold off position. The only difference was that I was turned 90* to the right of my normal stance, hitting back behind my back. Apparently it also took away my sway troubles. Has anyone tried doing this on a consistent basis, or at least to practice what it feels like to not release the club for pitch shots?
