Why Partial Wedges Separate Good Players from Great Players If there’s one skill that defines how consistently you score inside 100 yards, it’s controlling your partial wedges. Anyone can swing full speed, but the best players know how to hit half and three-quarter shots with precision. These shots fill the gaps between full-swing yardages —…
The Moment of Truth in Every Chip or Pitch Every great wedge shot — whether it’s a low spinner that hops and stops or a soft, high floater — comes down to one thing: impact. That single moment when the club meets the ball determines launch, spin, and consistency. Yet most golfers never really feel…
Getting better at chipping is a combination of lots of chip shot reps on the practice green, but also working on your chipping at home with training aids. In this article, we share some of the best training aids for chipping skill development so your short game can improve faster and you’ll have more structure…
Ever hit what felt like the perfect swing—only to chunk the ball a few feet or blade it over the green? You’re not alone. Most golfers make pitching harder than it has to be. The real problem isn’t your swing speed or your wedge. It’s that you’re not using the bounce on your club correctly….
There’s nothing more frustrating than hitting a beautiful drive and approach, only to chunk or blade a short pitch and throw away your chance at par.

That indecision usually leads to poor contact or picking the wrong shot altogether. And when you guess instead of assess,…
The Challenge of Wet Lies Every golfer knows the uneasy feeling of walking up to a short game shot and seeing water glistening off the grass — or worse, the ball sitting half-buried in mud. These types of lies are among the most difficult in golf because they take away your margin for error. One…
Practicing your chipping shouldn’t feel like a chore — but for many golfers, that’s exactly what happens.
