One of the things we’re always learning on these feel wedges is how to take our hands out of it and really drive it with our body. We have a really good alignment stick drill for this.

Take your alignment sticks and put it underneath your lead armpit. From there, take your grip and take your trail hand and your thumb and use that to press it up against the shaft so that the alignment stick is on the backside or trail side of the shaft. From there, make your pitching motion or your feel wedge motion, middle ball position and face square to slightly open, and really use your turn to hit the shot.
