Assuming you have plenty of green to work with, how do you play this shot? I used to think of <100 yards to be the strongest part of my game but recently I CANNOT hit less that a 3/4 wedge shot without squirting it out to the right at ~ 70*. I hesitate to call this a "shank" because I don't think it's hitting the hosel but instead I think I'm coming in with the face open and adding loft and as a result hitting it of the toe with an open face. For anything less that 20yds I have become comfortable with "putting with loft" as Raymond Floyd calls it but between 30-60 yards I am terrified and would rather chip a 7 iron that attmpet to hit a wedge. I asked my local club pro and he said I am too armsy and need to think of "hitting it with my chest", (in other words; turning through the shot), and that works if keep my weight on my let side but my accuracy is horrible with that technique. HELP!!!!
In 6 days we go to Chambers Bay for the THP NW Get Together and I anticipate so many opportunities to embarass myself from 30-60 yards out.
