Blake Cannon from Milo Lines Golf explains the structural differences between good and bad wedge shots inside 100 yards. He breaks down how amateur golfers flip or early release their wedges, resulting in high-launching, low-spinning misses. By focusing on body rotation and compression at impact, golfers can produce pro-style low-launch, high-spin wedge shots.
Amateurs struggle with wedge control because they rely on hand action and flip the wrist at impact, adding loft and reducing spin.
Tour players generate high spin by maintaining shaft lean and leading with the body's pivot through impact.
A lower launch angle produces tighter distance dispersion and predictable flight into greens.
Proper body rotation prevents the club from digging or scooping, allowing the bounce to work correctly.
