Question: How Can I Avoid Hitting the Ball Thin on Soft Lob Shots?
Answer: Gary's Quick Tips:
For the lob shot, you have to trust the design of your lob wedge or sand wedge. That is, you must trust that by swinging through the grass, the club will lift the ball into the air and land it softly on the green.
Thin lob shots are often caused because the golfer thinks he or she has to "help" the ball into the air, rather than trusting the club to do the job.
Don't try to help the ball into the air (hitting up on the ball). This only causes you to lose your body angles and creates inconsistent shots around the green.
