Kenneth BovaPaul,is there any wrist hinge. I assume that you have to swing steeply. I thought I saw your sand wedge very opened. In the past, I have taken the easy route out, just pick it up and throw it onto the fareway and take a mulligan.

Paul WilsonKen,
Yes, you are hinging your wrists as usual. Didn’t feel I was opening the face. The ball was off my back foot. If anything it would have been shut down.
No mulligans. Keep doing this and you will never hit this shot.

RaymondCHASTELPaul ,There’s another option ,for people who have “cold feet :take relief with a penalty point .In the present case ,from what I see ,you’re not far away from the short grass fairway :so if you drop your ball from where it lies ,two clubs length moving to the fairway ,not any nearer the hole ,the lie is going to be pretty good and you can take any club you wish !
So why take the risk of flubbing the club in the tall grass ,be it a sand wedge or not.
That’s also playing the percentages !

Paul WilsonRaymond,
Yes, but I don’t think they are going to want to take the penalty. Most people here are just going to pick it up and throw it out.

EricBessetteI assume your grip on the club is tighter than for your normal swings. In other words, because of all the tall grass potentially hanging up the club – we don’t want our normal “lossey goosey” relaxed grip?

Paul WilsonEric,
Here is my grip pressure:

I would definitely be holding on to not let go.

JackStarkeIn watching pros hit from deep rough I have noticed they swing really hard, often losing their balance. These swings seem like they really use there arms. Any comment?

Paul WilsonJack,
Yes, they are using their arms. From deep rough you are just trying to get it out and back in to play.
