On less-than-full wedge shots, most amateurs like some cushion under the ball, even when it appears to be sitting perfectly in the middle of the fairway.
When giving a short-game clinic, I’ll often bring up the letter ‘s’ to remind my students how simple it is to execute a standard pitch shot. Here’s why.
When you try to smash a lob wedge, you really only hit the ball higher, not further, and higher brings more variables into play and means you have to fly the ball right to your target.
