Matt Baker demonstrates a simple grip variation to hit high, soft lob shots with minimal effort. By switching to a baseball-style grip without an overlapping pinky or thumb, golfers can release the clubhead fully and maximize wedge bounce.
Switch to a 10-finger baseball-style grip on your wedge for lob shots.
Take your pinky overlap and trail thumb pressure off the grip to encourage free wrist action.
Allow the clubhead to release fully past the hands through impact.
Let the bounce of the club work underneath the ball to create high, soft trajectory.
