The data I have suggests this pattern is the best, just so happens it’s also the prettiest

James Ridyard of WedgeMatrix Academy demonstrates a data-backed wedge delivery pattern designed for optimal strike and aesthetics. The video emphasizes a specific swing shape that balances high-performance launch data with a professional visual finish.

• Adopt a shallow angle of attack to maximize the use of the wedge's bounce.
• Ensure the chest continues to rotate through the impact zone for better distance control.
• Focus on a clean, balanced follow-through to maintain 'prettier' and more consistent delivery data.
• Prioritize a neutral club path to minimize excessive side-spin on short shots.
