I encountered a Grant Horvat Video recently and she clicked with me because she had to be broken beyond the usual configuration list, club choice and hand position. Horvat was drilled in blaze – the most misunderstood feature of a wedge.
Amateurs often think of flatulence is only for bunkers or special shots. In reality, it is what makes the wedges forgive about green. If you learn to use it properly, even a weak chip can still produce a movable result.
Configuration still matters
Before taking advantage of swelling, you need to get the right bases.
- Weigh – About 70 percent in your lead leg keeps the low point stable. Put your weight there and then hold it throughout the swing.
- Attitude – Legs close together help simplify the movement.
- Centered ball – not blocked the back, not too far forward.
These checkpoints decide to use the only wedge, not just the sharp steering edge.
What happens if you don’t use bounce
Most amateurs instinctively press their hands forward, push the ball so it is compatible with the back leg and dig the main edge on the ground. This is when Miss Big Miss, like a stroke in green or a piece, start displaying.
When the main edge is the only part of the wedge that interacts with the terrain, your margin for mistakes decreases.
How to actually use bounce
When you leave the only wedge to interact with the ground, the club “slip” instead of “excavations”. This is bounce doing its job. You will feel the club to paint the ground than to stab with a knife in it. Horvat demonstrates this in the video by deliberately hitting the ball and still producing a movable result.
This is because swelling slips instead of climbing as the main edge would do.
Key to ensure the swelling is properly used is to have your Hands just a little forward, not exaggerated. This exposes the swelling without a lot of the club. Many amateurs push their hands well in front of the ball in configuration and makes it difficult to use swelling.
Step 4: Why Bounce is forgiving
Think of Bounce as your integrated insurance policy. It expands the effective striking area so that even if you contact the land a fraction sooner or later, the club still has a chance to slip and deliver the ball over the green.
Without it, your chip shooting requires perfect accuracy. It is a tampon that may be the difference between saving money and throwing strokes.
Final thoughts
If you fight with pieces and thins, the adjustment may not be hours working in the technique. It may be to learn to allow your wedge to do the job. Dance is the forgiving part of the club. Experiment with him, feel how they paint instead of excavations, and you will soon understand why the good rely on it and why amateurs cannot afford to ignore it.
