10 to 15 Meters Out!

Loft creates spin, low trajectories are created with lower loft so they will not spin so much or check.

Good ball compression will assist the loft to create spin and will also create more speed.

If I wish the ball to land and check I hit it higher with loft by using a high lofted wedge, the face open to increase loft, slide the clubface under the ball so that compression is minimised but the balls flies high with low spin such that it stops on landing. This works best where the ball is sitting up on a fluffy lie.

It is possible to strike the ball a solid blow that creates good compression and spin with a lofted wedge by taking a short backswing and a longer follow through, this will impart good spin to the ball.

In the short game feel is king and needs practice.

EDIT:

How is your son getting on with his golf now?
