Full Wedge Shots

[jaredshows1]

I just left the range and practice par three course and I am having some trouble hitting ball first on my full wedge shots (LW, SW, & GW).  I am hitting a little behind the ball, from  1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.  I am still hitting them straight and super high but with little spin. I was getting one hop and stop and only I got one shot to spin back about 5 feet.  I usually put a ton of spin on my wedges. I usually spin my wedges back about 4-6 yards after the first hop.  What tips or drills can I do to start hitting the ball first again?

Thanks

I do have the same problem, I think it's because the clubs are so much shorter.

Because the clubs are shorter, make sure you are not overswinging on the backswing, and losing balance.

Also, make sure you get some hip turn in the shot.

First start by hitting your wedges with half swings. Bring the club to parallel on back and finish as well.

Also experiment with the ball position. It could be as simple as too forward in your stance. Move it back a bit.
