I try to turn my belt buckle to start my downdwing for all my shots. For wedges, I’ll do the same but with a little less aggressive turn. Is this correct?
For sure! Whatever makes you to use your lower body to hit shots I am fine with. If you like and find good results with your belt buckle than this is great. Keep it up.
This is a problem I have. 9 iron, and wedges. So this is helpful. Had a great round today with the body swing but had two bad shots. One to a par 3 on a island green, Pulled it left into the water. One on a par 4 into a short sided bunker. From 71 to 74 just like that. This tip would have saved 3 strokes. I sure value these tips and the drills.
Great advice Paul. I’ve been struggling with driving my legs too hard with short clubs. This clarified things for me. I’m moving to a belt buckle focus now. Much better results.
These are the tips that keep on giving. Needed exactly this after struggling with my short irons and wedges. Would anything change as far as coiling back or at the top of the back swing, i.e. hands lower, etc.?
Sometimes I feel like I go back far with the short irons and then pull from the top and chunk it.
If you are chunking the shorter clubs then I would start by slowing down and then feeling your back heel come off the ground to hit the shot. There is too much weight on the back heel at contact. Try this tip:
