Don't confine yourself to using just your wedges around the greens. Your finesse wedge swing can also work with regular irons, hybrids, and even your 3 wood. Experiment around the greens during your practice sessions to figure out which clubs work best for you.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
This drill is looking at variety of shots around the greens. So I've got a basic little
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000
chip shot here that I can hit with a variety of different clubs. So you can see this
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,000
is a very short shot. So I could take my 58 degree wedge and do my standard little
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000
finesse swing right where the ball lands on just like so. Now if I'm not really
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
comfortable with this, especially if it was a tighter lie, now I've got my
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
seven iron and I could land this just short and and have the ball roll a little
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
bit more like a putt. So I would play this more in my back setup but still have
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
the same style finesse swing and this probably isn't the right club for this
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
shot but hey it's something I can experiment with. The last one that most people
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000
are starting to use or have used for a little while is the hybrid or three
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
would. This tends to get the ball rolling very very quickly and you'll set up
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000
similar to how you're using well there's two different ways. You can set up either
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
like you're using your finesse swing and have the habit go a little left during
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
take away or you can set up like we worked on in the and use your putting grip
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
and just let the ball kind of roll across. Now this is a little thicker grass so
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
to carry this distance I probably actually wouldn't use the hybrid. But what I
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
want you to start doing is experimenting with different clubs and different shots
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
around the green which will help you be a little bit more creative a little bit
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
more versatile and it'll know your gain. You'll know which is your stronger
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000
shot so when push comes the shove you'll go to your strong shot. When you're
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
playing just a little practice rounds you can always work on the shots that are
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
a little tougher but when when you really need it go to your go to shot the
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
one that you have the most success during practice with.
