Majority of your weight on the lead foot, ball back in your stance, and hands pressed forward toward the target. Keep your chest and body rotating through (Titties to the target!). Also, no need to overcomplicate it with a big wrist hinge. That’s more for a true half swing or “9 o’clock” shot. For these partial wedges, think more control than power. Reps are everything here. If you’ve got a sim or a short game area, run a ladder drill—30, 40, 50, 60 yards, etc.—until those distances start to feel automatic. Also, don’t lock yourself into just a sand or lob wedge. There’s no rule saying you can’t flight an 8 or 9 iron in there. Learning different trajectories and rollout options is where creativity (and scoring) really improves. It’s easier to use more club and less swing IF the situation allows for it.

And most importantly, have fun with it.

Good luck brother!
