Long and strong is wrong

Article Abstract:

The length of wedge irons and their strength are very important elements that often get overlooked when buying golf clubs. A typical set of golf clubs will have a set of wedges with the same lengths, and shafts that are too short and too strong. Wedges should be progressively shorter and weaker.

The cut lob

Article Abstract:

The lob wedge intimidates amateur golfers because they are afraid of hitting a short shot too far. Inevitably they take a full backswing and then decelerate on the downswing, which usually results in a skulled shot that sends the ball rolling over the green. Proper shot technique is presented.

Article Abstract:

A research analysis of golfers hitting putts under pressure situations at lengths of over 10 feet showed a clear and distinct pattern. Over 50% of golfers tended to leave their putts short of the hole, a clear indication that the pressure caused their muscles to tense up.
