Justin Thomas’s Guide to Short Wedge Success

Justin Thomas, the reigning PGA Champion, offers expert tips on mastering short wedge shots in Golf Channel’s “3 Simple Keys to Stuffing Short Wedge Shots.” Recognizing the crucial role of wedges in scrambling and overall scoring, Thomas emphasizes three fundamental principles:

1. Grip Positioning: Maintain a relaxed grip with your hands slightly behind the club, allowing for a more controlled and efficient release.

2. Ball Position: For optimal distance and accuracy, position the ball slightly forward in your stance, aligning it with the inside of your right heel (for right-handed golfers).

3. Clean Contact: Focus on making pure contact with the ball’s equator by brushing the turf shallowly and maintaining consistent wrist angles throughout the swing.
