After you adjust your stance, is the club face towards the target line or slightly open still?

[clemshaw]

@andytoy Still well open; 90% of the initial direction of a driver is face related but when you get to the lob wedge, where there is more glance, 90% of the direction is path related; so if you open the face 45 degrees, it will only go about 5 degrees offline to the right...Shawn

If you are using a 60 degree wedge would you still need to open the face up?

[clemshaw]

@cheetncat Yes!! You Bet!! and yes, I am using a 60 degree wedge here;

That shot is sooo high risk . If you hit it thin..........goodbye ball ! If you hit it correctly , awesome!

[clemshaw]

@boardhead888 You can't play golf in fear! :)

Stick to the process and keep visualizing what you want the ball to do; not what you are afraid might happen! Shawn

@thetripledoubleZ 56 degree

[kuneckid]

@thetripledoubleZ your 56 loft club has a bit too much 12 bounce on it, so it will be more difficult to flop a golf shot ! as by opening the club face like Shawn has shown us on the video, you are adding more bounce to the club. Try it, it will work but wont be as easy, as for example an 6-8degree bounce.

Best of Luck,

Daz.

Hi Shawn excellent video as per! Your tips have helped me a lot through my golfing journey. I'm having trouble hitting this shot off tight lies. I'm ok if the balls sitting up nicely in some rough, and I can skim the club under the ball. I think there is too much bounce on my wedges. I'm looking to invest in a new set, what sort of bounce would you recommend, and could you or any other guys out there recommend any lower-end wedges that still produce good spin? Thanks

@thetripledoubleZ more loft, easier flop

[thetripledoubleZ]

I have a sand wedge that is a 56 loft and a 12 bounce. And a normal pitching wedge. Which club is easier to flop?

Man, the sound of contact on all his videos is magic!

Your flop shot goes way further than mine. My flop shot only goes about 15 yards. Would my sand wedge go further? (I use a 60 degree lob wedge normally)
