Re: recovery of timing and tempo

Hi Robert,

The Dave Pelz Short Game Bible has helped me with these finesse wedge shots. The most important factor with wedges is to ensure you are accelerating through impact, try taking a 7:30 - 9.00 or 10:30 backswing with different clubs for varied distances but always finish with a high follow through.

As Takinitdeep suggests use dead hands. Ball centered mid-way between the ankles and left foot flared out 30 deg. Make a full wrist cock and no body coil, allow your torso and legs to turn fully through the shot ending with a balanced finish, up on right toe and chest towards target..

He suggests thinking "Suwissssssh" going back and "Swish" coming down for tempo, but I guess what ever you prefer is fine.
