Collin Morikawa delivers 3 tips to hit spinny wedge shots from 50 yards
Collin Morikawa made quick work of some of the most difficult greens in golf during the recent Players Championship.
Known for his ability to hit firm, high-spinning wedge shots at will, Morikawa sat down with Golf Digest to share his tips for playing approach shots from 50 yards and in.
“First, open the clubface and make sure to have a lot of loft,” Morikawa says. “Then, make a steep swing and hit slightly behind the ball to generate spin.”
Lastly, he says to make sure you’re not afraid to take chances. “The best players are the ones who are willing to go for things and make some mistakes,” he says. “If you’re always playing it safe, you’re not going to get the best results.”
