Wedge Secrets by Jack Moorehouse

Copyright (c) 2009 Jack Moorehouse
Short-game problems aren’t always due to a bad swing. Recently, a student came to me about his short game. He was unable to cut strokes from his golf handicap because of his chipping and pitching. His inability to get the ball close from 100 yards in was costing him strokes. Since he was serious about improving, he wanted to strengthen this weakness. He scheduled a golf lesson, hoping I could provide some golf tips to resuscitate his short game.

When set-up to the ball, I quickly recognized the problem. He was committing one of the most common short game mistakes made by weekend golfers. His lie angle (the angle at which the sole of the club rests on the ground) was off. It was too flat, causing the club’s toe to dig down. When the toe digs down, the heel comes up. Thus, he was hitting everything off the club’s toe, wearing away that area of his wedge. Simply put, you can tell a lot about how you’re hitting a club by looking at wear marks.

A Valuable Lesson The real problem here was that the club wasn’t part of the original set off irons. The clubs in that set were fitted to my student. The wedge he bought off the rack. Unfortunately, it wasn’t fitted properly. And it was costing him strokes. But the problem taught her a valuable lesson. While lie angle was the problem here, it’s not always the problem in every case. Usually, mis-hits stem from one of three root causes: lie angle, posture, or grip.

To fix the problem, you have to either change wedges or have it bent so that it’s more upright. If you suspect your club is too flat (or too upright), check it out by using a “lie board” to determine where the club is bottoming out. All club companies and club fitters have one. Fortunately for my student, wedges are somewhat forgiving. So her mis-hits weren’t too bad. But with longer clubs this might not be the case. Having determined the problem, we set about correct it.

Two Other Causes Bad posture is another cause of mis-hits. Whenever I gave a student a golf lesson, I start by checking her posture. First, I check her distance from the ball. Your hands should hang down under your shoulders in a neutral hanging position–not too close and not too far away. If you feel like your reaching for the ball, your hands are to far away from your body. You’re standing too far from the ball. Adopt a proper posture and your mis-hits should drop dramatically.

Faulty grip is a third cause of wedge problems. It’s a mistake I see all the time in my golf instruction sessions. Because your wrists set the club’s lie angle, they must be in the correct position to hit a ball correctly. A good way to check this is to look at your glove. If the palm is wearing down, you’re not holding the club enough in your fingers. Holding the club too much in your palm sets the wrong lie angle, causing toe hits. Obviously, you need to hold the cub more in your fingers. But check your grips as well. If they are too thick or too then, you’ll be more inclined to hold the club in your palm. Golfballs.com

Two Good Short Game Drills Having resolved the student’s initial problem, I also gave him two drills to improve his short game. The first teaches you to hit chips on line. The second shows you how to make sure your pitches travel the right distance.

* Place two clubs parallel to each other about eight inches apart. Make sure the track they create points directly at the target. Practice your chipping stroke. Keeping the club inside the track. To hit chips on line, the clubface must be square and the path of the clubhead must be toward the target.

* The key to pitching shots accurately is landing them in the right shot. Place a range bucket, pail, small trash can, or box about 20 feet away. Try to hit your shots so that they hit or just clear the obstacle you have created. Vary the distances– moving it closer for some shots and farther away for others.

Faulty swings are the only cause of mis-hits in your short game. The wrong lie angle, bad posture, or a faulty grip also causes them. Once you eliminate the mis-hits, use practice drills to help you develop accuracy. Practice the drills and you’ll resuscitate your short game and chop strokes off your golf handicap.

9 Things You Have To Know About Your Tee Position by Michael Lewis

Do you have big problems teeing off the ball? Have you ever considered how detrimental bad tee position can be? Sometimes, its not the swing that’s the problem. Quite often it can be the position you tee the ball up. We are going to look at some of the damaging effects of this and what you can do to ensure a smooth ride off of any tee you play off.
There are different rules regarding tee position when you compare the woods against the irons. We will start with everyone’s favourite, the driver.

With the driver you are looking to promote an ascending blow to the ball. Accordingly, you want to tee the ball up higher than you would for any other club. There is often debate about how high exactly but the orthodox method is to have half the ball above the top of the driver. Some will say that you should have the entire ball above the club - for this it would be worth experimenting at the range. Its possible that a higher position is worth an extra 20 yards. I’m sure you wouldn’t turn that down!

To ensure that you achieve the ascending blow to the ball you should place the ball forward in your stance - inside of the left heel is standard.

You may find that if you are hitting the ball too high or slicing then the tee may actually be too high for you. The opposite tends to be the case if it is too low. Adjust accordingly particularly if you are having persistent slice and hook problems. This may not completely cure your issues but may reduce the extent to which the ball is going right or left.

The fairway woods are used in a similar way to the driver. The ball should be on the inside left heel and approximately half the ball should be showing. You may want to lower it slightly if you are using a hybrid or higher fairway wood.

The irons are different in that you are looking to hit the ball just before the low point of the swing. This is what is known as ‘hitting down on the ball’. When you connect the club face angle takes care of the loft of the ball. So to ensure you are in the correct position let the design of the club guide you. When you approach the ball lay the club down as it was designed and have the butt of the club pointing toward your belly button. You should notice that the longer the club the further toward your inside left heel the ball should be. As a guide the ball should be in the centre of your stance for your wedges, an inch further forward for 5,6,7 and another inch or so on for the long irons.

Tee height for irons should be as follows; head of the tee just above the ground for 6 iron and shorter, half an inch above ground for the long to mid irons.

For the more consistent and confident amongst you alter the angle of your shots by moving the ball in your stance. Move it further forward to get more height and further back for a lower trajectory. This is only recommended for more advanced players who are looking to be a bit more creative in shaping their tee shots. However, take note of this as it gives you a guide to the effect ball position has on the flight of the golf ball.

Your overall aim is to find a consistent tee height and position. It then naturally follows that your tee shots will be more consistent. Go through these tips and experiment at the range. With the tee height you can then go away and mark your tees up for each club so you don’t have to fiddle around on the tee when you’re playing for real. You will gain more confidence and the tee shot will become a much more pleasurable experience.
