Pro Golfer's 3 Keys to Mastering Wedge Spin

Three Keys to Wedge Spin from Pro Golfer Akshay Bhatia Want to improve your short game and add more spin to your wedge shots? Pro golfer Akshay Bhatia has shared three key techniques that can significantly improve your game, as demonstrated by Maddi MacClurg of GOLF.com in a recent video. The first key focuses on club face positioning: Bhatia emphasizes opening the club face before setting your hands to ensure the face remains open throughout the swing. "I like to open the club face before I set my hands because that ensures the face is going to start open and stay open throughout my swing," MacClurg explains in the video. The second key is ball position. Bhatia advocates for placing the ball back in your stance, which encourages making contact with the ball first, crucial for spin generation. Finally, Bhatia emphasizes chest movement. Keeping your chest forward and moving it forward through the swing, while maintaining the handle ahead, helps generate the desired spin. These three simple adjustments can make a big difference in your wedge game, according to Bhatia's advice, as demonstrated by MacClurg's successful shots in the video. By incorporating these techniques, golfers at all skill levels can improve their accuracy and control around the greens.
