PGA Pro Marcus Edblad demonstrates how to master wedge impact by focusing on precise ground contact. Through a series of progressive drills using simple wooden tees, golfers can learn to eliminate fat and thin shots by controlling exactly where the club enters the turf.
Mastering impact is the most critical step to a successful short game.
Using small targets like tees helps the brain restart and focus on the ground rather than just the ball.
A successful wedge shot requires the club to enter the ground at or slightly after the ball.
Practice hitting 10 shots in a row with perfect impact before moving to more advanced wedge techniques.
The drills can be performed on mats, but grass provides better feedback for ground contact.
