Lead Arm Only Distance Wedge
Lead Arm Only Distance Wedge
While I advocate working on both arms I find the lead arm drill especially useful for distance wedges.
With the lead-arm-only distance wedge, you'll want to focus on two key areas. Transition and through the release. In transition, you'll want to avoid pulling and steepening the club. Focus on keeping the lead arm connected and shallow as you rotate your body and arm together. During the release, you'll want to avoid pulling the lead arm away from the body (behind your body). In this phase, you'll want the arm to stay slightly in front of your body as you rotate. As a progression, you can add the open trail hand. Master these two phases of the lead arm-only drill and you'll be on your way to developing a stock distance wedge swing with really smooth force.
