Start-It-Right Half Wedges

Hit half-swing wedges trying to start every ball to the right of your target and watch whether you can actually do it.

Duration: 10 min
Reps: 20 balls
Equipment: none
Level: Advanced

How to do it

Pick a target and set your feet and shoulders square to it.
Take half swings with a wedge, stopping the backswing at hip height.
Try to start every ball clearly right of the target.
Note how many you can actually start right without changing your aim.
Hit 20 balls, checking your start line on every one.

Goal

Use ball flight as an honest referee on how shut the face is arriving, and build the ability to hold it open.

Feel cue

Feel the clubface staying open to your chest a beat longer than feels comfortable.

Mistake to avoid

Aiming your body right so the ball starts right without the face changing at all — keep your feet and shoulders on the same line so the ball flight stays honest.
