The Only Wedge Guide You Need (Break 100, 90, 80 & 70)
Golf instructor Giles Gill breaks down a complete wedge play guide categorized by target score milestones: breaking 100, 90, 80, and 70. He covers essential setup fundamentals like narrow stance width and preset lead-side weight, arm-body synchronization using the towel drill, wide-to-wide wrist control for distance, and pushing up with the legs to shallow out divots.
Maintain a narrow stance width (1 to 3 clubhead widths) to stabilize ground contact and limit unwanted body sway.
Preset 70% of your weight on the lead side at setup and keep pressure left throughout the swing for clean, ball-first contact.
Use the behind-the-back towel drill under armpits to build arm-body connection and eliminate disconnected arm swings.
Limit excessive wrist cock on 30–120 yard pitch shots, feeling wide-to-wide to standardize trajectory and launch.
Push upward with the legs through impact to shallow out divots and produce tour-level wedge spin and trajectory control.
