**Changing 1 Small Thing in Wedge Setup for Serious Spin**
Golfers hoping to dial in their touch around the greens this season should consider a simple change to their wedge setup. According to leading instructors, optimizing ball position — specifically moving it forward in the stance — can dramatically increase spin rates, leading to more control and stopping power on approach shots.

By simply repositioning the ball slightly closer to the target, golfers can unlock a hidden advantage that will yield noticeable improvements in their short game.
