Tired Of Coming Up Short With Your LOB Wedge?
There are tow huge mistakes that amateur golfers make when they are using their LOB wedge. One of them is always leaving the ball short of your target. The reason is easy to understand and simple to fix.
The main reason you consistently come up short when you use your LOB wedge is because you SLOW in the downswing. For starters let’s admit it, the LOB wedge is weird little head with a ton of loft. Sometimes you think the ball might come up and hit you in the head right after it leaves the clubface. It takes a ton of confidence to not try and scoop the ball in the air.
On the other hand with all of that loft why are we still trying to scoop the ball? What happens in the downswing is you get a little apprehensive and you try and hit a delicate shot. The one thing you have to keep in mind is that you have to really excelerate the clubhead to make it work.
Remember this Bobby-ism-The harder you hit a loft club the HIGHER it goes. The harder you hit a flat faced club the further it goes. When you have a LOB wedge in your hands you have to smoke it most of the time. If you try and hit a delicate little shot or if you slow the clubhead down in the downswing, the golf ball is not going to have enough clubhead speed to get it where you want to go.
Speed up in the downswing-don’t slow down.
