Okay, so since the short shots are actually the most important shots in the game because
if you hit a big drive and then you don't hit a good pitching shot, or a sand wedge,
or a sixty degree wedge into the green, you might get a five, or a six, or a seven. So
if you don't hit such a great drive but your next shot and your chips are good you can
get pars and birdies. So that's why when you watch the pros on T.V. they're really focused
on their chipping and they'll even lose, they'll drop a club, maybe they won't have a five
wood or they won't carry a two iron, or they'll have an extra wedge. So, this is a sixty degree
wedge, which the sand wedge that we've been demonstrating is a fifty-six degree wedge
so it means that this one will hit a higher, steeper ball. So it's for shorter in. So the
goal here is to get the ball real high so then when it drops it doesn't roll much further.
A lot of times you'll get a lot of backspin on it and you'll see them back up. So the
sixty degree wedge is a shot for probably fifty yards and in for most players. You really
want to just have some fun with it but you've got to practice it a lot. You just want to
get the ball nice and high so it lands in the green and stays there. It doesn't roll
who knows the heck where. So you may want to investigate picking up a sixty degree wedge
and working on it endlessly.
