Golf Digest’s Top Teacher in America, Mark Blackburn, shares his expert tips on using the bounce of your wedges for better results around the greens.

Mark emphasizes that controlling your trail hand is key to effectively engaging the club’s bounce. Think of it like setting up for a bunker shot—this helps create smoother turf interaction, allowing the ball to launch higher and land softer for more consistent short-game performance.
