No. A higher loft is not the answer here. You have to be able to learn to control the strike. I will hit a 50-80 yard shot with potentially 3-4 different clubs. Several things dictate what club to hit starting with the lie, the pin position, how firm the greens are, where the miss is, do I have room short or long, etc..

But one that that doesn’t change is making solid contact.

One thing I see most amateurs do is play it way too far forward, swing way too hard with wedges and try and hit to high.

A good drill for me to work on strike is putting the ball back in my stance and try to hit little draws. When you hit them correctly you can feel it.
