left handed golf chipper

July 12th, 2009 by admin

Whether itÂ’s the third shot on a par 5 or the second on a par 4, the full swing wedge shot is a potent short game weapon, maybe the most potent. Players with high golf handicaps hit wedge shots from the rough, a trap, or just behind the cart path. While players with low golf handicaps hit them from the fairway with a full swing. ThatÂ’s because they work on positioning themselves to be able to do it.

Players with low golf handicaps feature common swing elements when hitting full swing wedge shots. Below are six I key on in my golf instruction sessions.

1. Open Up

Watch a good wedge player and youÂ’ll see him/her keep the lower body quiet. Since you donÂ’t need a lot of power to hit a wedge, you donÂ’t need a lot of lower body action. But you canÂ’t hit a sound wedge shot without opening your hips. The best place to do it is at address. Opening up your stance allows you to use your arms and shoulders to hit the shot without using your lower body.

2. Hinge the Wrists

Poor players try sweeping, scooping, or lifting the ball in the air when hitting a wedge shot. Good players hit down and through, creating a nice big divot. One of the secrets to hitting down is wrist hinge. If you donÂ’t hinge your wrists, youÂ’ll sweep the ball of the floor. HereÂ’s what I advocate in my golf lessons and golf tips: Hinge early. In fact, start your wrist bend as take away. If you wait until the midpoint of your backswing, you may never hinge.

3. Adjust Your Backswing

Tempo is a constant in golf. Backswing length isn’t. Never add speed or apply the brakes to control the distance of a shot. The length of the backswing, not the speed of the swing, dictates shot distances with your wedges—actually with any club. Learn how far you hit each wedge with 25, 50, 75, and 100 percent backswing lengths. Since the full-swing wedge shot we’re talking about could be 36, 42, or 53 yards away, you’ll now have options with which to hit the shot. (Take notes if you want to, something I sometimes have students do in my golf lessons.) Remember adjust your backswing, not your tempo.

4. Maintain the Position of Your Front Shoulder

Poor wedge players often lift their heads when approaching the ball. While that in itself isnÂ’t a major crime, it forces you to bring your front shoulder up and out. That is. ItÂ’s a fault I emphasize in my golf lessons and golf tips. Work on allowing your head to rotate along with your back shoulder as it swings underneath your chin. Rotating facilitates the shifting of weight to the front side, keeps the spine angle intact, and allows the back shoulder to move toward the target.

5. Keep It Low

ThereÂ’s a saying in golf that you donÂ’t high five other players, you shake hands like a gentlemen. In other words, keep your hands low after impact on a full-swing wedge shot, almost as if you were about to shake hands with someone to the side of you. Why? One sign of a solid wedge shot is low hands after impact, which indicates hitting down and through. Finishing high tends to negate weight shift and hinders your ability to hit down and through the ball. So keep it low after impact and youÂ’ll approve the result.

6. Pose For The Camera

A good swing and a good finish usually go hand in hand. Take a few practice swings not with the focus on mechanics but on making a nice comfortable finish. So take some practice swings and finish by posing for the camera before hitting a wedge shot. Think finish first in this situation. It can help generate a smooth swing and a better result.

There you have it—six elements common to all sound wedge shots. There are more that we could discuss, but if you follow these when hitting a wedge shot, you’ll eventually master wedge play from 75, 50, 25, or any short distance. Do that and you’ll put yourself in an exclusive club—players with low golf handicaps.

Golf's MVP Red Heat


Golf’s MVP Red Heat


$159.95


“Golf’s MVP Red Heat There’s one part of the golf game that’s practically impossible to teach: the feeling of the proper release. It simply is not an intuitive skill. And while it’s possible to tell people how to do it, and even show them how to do it, many pros and instructors wish they could teach the way the perfect swing should feel. Now they can! In the majority of good golf swings, the right elbow is tucked in close to the side of the body during the downswing, and stays there partially through impact. Also, the wrists stay hinged, which ties in the action of the right side with the hit. The combination of these two angles and the proper sequence of body motion give the player the best chance to produce lag in the downswing. Click Here to view the complete Golf’s MVP Instructional DVD. Golf’s MVP is the only training technology on the market that lets you know what this should FEEL like. When loaded at the top, the MVP gearbox locks the hands creating a passive right side that allows the above sequence to happen. This enables the golfer to return the club to its original plane and produce more lag and club speed, and ultimately more distance. Learn to keep your hands passive with the L-Drill. Strap on your MVP and get it in the proper position. Attach the feedback clip to the club. Then, as you take the club back and the MVP locks your wrists, be sure to form an "L" with the left arm. Once you have completed the backswing, swing down slowly and maintain the L created by your wrist and left arm. Practice this several times repeating these positions and you will soon be on your way to a better golf swing. Golf’s MVP Red Heat works for both Right Handed & Left Handed players.  Includes Training DVD The Golf’s MVP Training Team gives you step-by-step instruction and drills to get the most out of your Golf’s MVP Red Heat training experience. This new DVD comes FREE with purchase. Quick Start Guide Handy written and illustrated version of our step-by-step instruction to keep in your bag. The guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get started with Golf’s MVP Red Heat. Training Clip Series Red Heat comes with 3 feedback clips that allow you to customize the MVP for your swing and progressively challenge yourself to improve lag and power. FREE with purchase. Proprietary Sleeve Technology NEW! The new Red Heat Edition has a sporty new moisture-wicking sleeve.

The Key Golf Trainer


The Key Golf Trainer


$34.95


“The Key — Golf Swing Trainer The right hand (for right handed players) can be a good golf friend or a swing destroying enemy. It all depends on how one uses it. Ben Hogan once commented that he wished he “”had two right hands”", providing of course his left one arrived first. That’s what the Key makes possible. It positions the right hand correctly, similarly to Hogan’s, thus helping provide the delayed hit for greater distance and more consistent accuracy. Correct right hand release, aided by the Key, also discourages both fat and thin shots with the irons. Even putting and chipping benefits as the right hand becomes correctly positioned. The Key is pre-bent to fit the wrist position of most hands. One of the Key’s distinct advantages, however, is that it is malleable and can be adjusted to fit any hand. Of all the important points about this outstanding product, don’t overlook the fact that The Key is the ONLY wrist brace on the market that is both adjustable, and does not restrict your fingers! The player retains full manual dexterity, but is discouraged from forcing the shot with the right side. When using the Key, start by hitting short pitch shots of 40-60 yards to get the feel of how the body rotation provides the power rather than the hands. Gradually increase the swing length until you are hitting full shots. The Key is pre-bent at the factory to a setting of 50 degrees. You may adjust the bend if desired when hitting full shots. The Key may also be used on the left hand for feeling solid impact for either the chip, pitch, putt or full swing. You can accomplish this by bending the unit back to level and slightly beyond (to about 10 degrees beyond straight) so it encourages the left wrist to be slightly convex. It is best if you use a left-handed Key for this, since it is designed for the left hand, but the right-handed model can be comfortably used. Don’t wait another minute to improve your game. Learn Dr. Gary Wiren’s Key to better golf; you’ll find it’s no Secret. If you have any questions about this product or would like to order by phone, please call us Toll Free at 888-733-8383. We look forward to hearing from you!”
