Why Your Wedge Swing Should Feel Backward

Send us Fan Mail

Your swing data is not your swing, and chasing perfect “green” numbers can quietly wreck the parts of your motion that actually make you effective. We sit down and talk through a cleaner way to get better at golf as indoor golf season ramps up: we use tech like Sportsbox, TrackMan style wedge numbers, and force plates to understand what matters, then we hide the clutter and coach the one change that produces a real result.

We unpack why averages are a trap in golf instruction. No Tour player matches every benchmark, and no two bodies create speed the same way, so forcing everyone toward a single model can turn strengths into problems. Instead, we start with ball flight and movement, find the anchor point, and take the low hanging fruit that drives downstream change. That approach is how we help players gain speed, improve contact, and build something they can repeat under pressure.

Then we flip into one of the most useful concepts for scoring: the kinematic sequence is not one size fits all. Full swings often chase efficiency with pelvis to thorax to arm to club, but wedges, chipping, pitching, and bunker shots frequently work better when the sequence reverses and the lower body stays quieter. We talk wedge distance control, lower launch windows, forward shaft lean without fear, and a simple cue we love for short game: let the clubhead win the race, then learn where to put low point.
