Clay Ballard from Top Speed Golf demonstrates a wedge warmup routine using the Blue Brick training aid. The focus is on achieving a proper impact position with forward shaft lean to ensure clean, ball-first contact and improved consistency.
Begin your practice session with a 56-degree sand wedge to establish timing.
Focus on hitting the ball first and the ground immediately after the ball.
Match your club shaft's lean to the angle of a training aid at impact for precision.
Keeping your hands in front of the ball at impact leads to much higher consistency.
Use a structured warmup to shake off 'rust' and dial in contact before moving to full swings.
