Golf Digest’s No. 1 Teacher, Mark Blackburn, emphasizes the importance of using the bounce to improve your wedge play. Letting the back of the club slide through the turf prevents digging and leads to more consistent shots.
Keep minimal shaft lean and your trail hand palm up to engage the bounce. For open-faced shots, lay the shaft back slightly and let the club glide through the ground with minimal turf interaction. Bounce is your friend—trust it to help you hit cleaner, more controlled wedge shots.
