Shallow and Steep angles of attack...

[DBake]

Just making sure I have this correct after reading it.

Shallow angle of attack is a swing that is very circular (outside of a tier wheel)

Steep angle of attack is a swing that is very up-right?

Is this correct?

Nevermine I found the answer at Scratch Golf Clubs .

Shallow:


Steep:


I am having a tough time trying to decided on what grinds I should put on my wedges.

My swing starts very shallow but once coming to the ball I become steep, although if I miss I miss with a thin shot and not a fat one.

Aside from wedge play, how do you guys control your angle of attack? Say when you want to take a steeper angle to hit down on the ball and get more spin, what do you do?

Stance slightly narrower and slightly open, ball slightly back, weight a little forward. With these adjustments if you make a good swing the ball will spin more. I feel more than slight changes creates unpredictable spin. Trying to put extra spin on a draw is definitely high risk for me.

Steeper for me = a more up and down motion, more V shaped swing if you will.

Shallower = a more "rounded" swing path. A shorter swing wiht a shorter follow through (e.g. a knockdown) will also lead to a shallower path for me. Can you tell I'm a feel player? Remember that minute adjustments in swing path can lead to big differences in angle of attack. So you don't need to be a straight up and down "V" when you want to get steep, nor do you need to be perfeclty level if you want to be shallow.
