For a portion of my students, a 30-yard wedge shot can be a trouble spot; this can be due to poor technique, but it can also be attributed to a bit of misunderstanding. Thankfully though, we have been able to establish a very straightforward and useful backswing "reference point" using 3D data from a variety of touring professionals. Ultimately, this reference point can dramatically simplify things and provide players with the foundation to create reliable wedge shots from multiple distances.
