How to hit pro-style wedge shots

Story byRyan Hager with Ron KaspriskeMon, December 15, 2025 at 4:59 AM UTC·2 min readPoor contact with wedges is a real score killer because these are the shots that you’re supposed to hit close. Good ones lead to par saves and easy birdie putts. Unfortunately, many amateurs don’t capitalize when they’re close to the green because they typically hit their wedges way too high.

Key Highlights

  • Remember, these clubs come with a lot of loft so the mistake is to add even more at impact by trying to scoop these shots into the air.
  • You’ll never control distance that way.
  • Here I’ve put an alignment rod in the ground to represent my ball position and a small pointer on my wedge's clubface to indicate the shot’s trajectory.
  • Note the difference between an amateur's typical impact position (below, left) and the impact look you’d want to be a better wedge player (below, right).
  • See the difference in how the ball will come off the club?
