EVERY Tour Pro does this SIMPLE Trick for INCREASED Spin #golf #golftechnique #golfer
Luke Hanlon demonstrates a controversial technique used to increase wedge spin by applying sand to the clubface. He shows how the added grit creates extra friction, particularly on wet greens, allowing the ball to 'check up' quickly upon landing.
Adding sand or grit to the wedge face can increase friction between the ball and the club.
Higher friction results in increased spin rate, causing the ball to stop faster on the green.
This technique is particularly effective in wet conditions where the ball might otherwise slide up the face.
Tour pros often use the natural grit on the ground to maintain spin when playing from damp lies.
