Birdie Up Practice · Short Game
Use the Bounce: Brush, Don't Dig
Explore how the wedge’s sole can help resist digging on a good, level lie.
Take it to practice.
Stand narrow, with the ball near the middle and the handle close to neutral. Avoid a big forward press. With relaxed arms, rehearse a small swing that brushes the grass, then add the ball and repeat.
The face strikes the ball; the sole works through the turf. Different lies need different adjustments. The demonstrations are illustrations, not measured bounce angles or guaranteed results.
Adapt to your ability, the space and the conditions. Demonstrations are illustrative. Watch the full lesson and its YouTube description for context and references.
