Hitting your wedges as the good is not easy, but there are still things you can learn. Here’s how to do it as close as Rory Mcilroy.

Newly Champion Masters Rory Mcilroy He is one of the greatest leaders in history. Since 2015, his worst conclusion in strokes won: off Tee has been the 6th, and he has led the category in several cases. But his Achilles’ heel has been his inability to take advantage of his car’s ability when he is hitting wedges in the greens.
Rory speed assets have made it a cash tone, but some are not necessarily useful when trying to control wedge distances. Rors holds your head down and back through the impact – a great way to create an increasing angle of attack outside, but something that can destroy when trying to manage the bottom of your shaking arch in precision shots. (Side Note: Search YouTube and See Steve Stricker with a short iron. He is still the golden standard.)
That is to say, there is much to learn from Mcilroy in generating a strong strike. Read below.
1. Care!
Keeping your head down is not great on wedge shots – this makes your body rotating until the end of a challenge. Rory makes him work due to his extraordinary flexibility, but is largely a negative for REC players.
2. The belly it
Sir Nick Faldo was an extraordinary wedge player. His focus was to keep his navel go to the end to ensure strong contact and control distance. Rory keeps his belly going around (despite holding his head down). Copy this!
3. Let go
There is no retention for Rory. This is the same free and aggressive omission you see with his driver and midirons. Perfectly is completely good to keep your mechanics full in the wedge shaking. There is no need to recreate yourself.
4. Go long and left
While Rory does not push through the ground as he does when he hits the driver, he is still extending the front leg during and after the impact. This is a critical technique to acquire control of the depth and last location of the oscillation.
