Trail Elbow Wedge Swing

With wedge play, having too much trail arm straightening can be a big problem. It causes the radius to lengthen quickly, which results in a complementary increase in side bend. That combination creates a nightmare situation for consistent low point and bounce usage. It also creates a fast acceleration. That fast acceleration causes distance control issues if you do hit the ball solidly. Many golfers use connection drills to help with their wedge play. This is becoming one of my favorites for the 20-30 yard pitch shot. It's inspired by one of the best wedge players in recent history, Justin Rose.
