Open Face Set Up
Open Face Set Up
Setting up with the face open is a skill to get used to if you want control around the greens.
Understanding how to open the face and get into a good setup position with the face open is critical for hitting open-faced finesse wedge shots. This is key for hitting higher shots, shots with spin, or shots out of thicker rough. The most common issue is that when golfers set up with the face open they move the ball position back. This exposes the hosel and makes solid contact incredibly difficult. Practice with this little open-face station until it becomes second nature.
