Bridging the Gap Between Chipping and Full Wedges

Added on April 09, 2020
Your short shots, more than any other phase of the game, requires creativity and a great sense of feel. Many players struggle with their short games because they don’t have a good sense of shot weight - the force that is needed to hit shots of different distances. If you have trouble bridging the gap between your full wedge shots and your short chips, Titleist staff instructor John Kostis has the solution. Follow his drills to develop your feel for hitting the infinite variety of wedge shots from 10 to 100 yards in distance.
