Great slow mo video of wedge shot, you can't believe how much the shaft bends just on this type of shot

Oh dear,

 Using the precision accuracy of a laser, four perfectly calibrated texture lines are milled between each groove, exactly to the conforming roughness limit. This breakthrough surface roughness application optimises ball-to-face friction and maximises spin under The Rules of Golf*.

*It's a spin milled wedge.

I'm glad you said that Chris, I thought he hit the ground slightly before the ball but didn't want to be the first to say it

A nice looking wedge though.

I understand what you guys are say re:trapping the ball and I understand how it works......but how can you trap a ball/squeeze it against the turf with a wedge? surely the loft is so great that to get 'any' downward pressure on the ball you would have to de-loft the club so much by having the hands far far ahead of the clubhead?

I can see how 'compression' is achieved  with a mid/long iron.....but struggle to see it with a high lofted club.

If you know of a link to a slow mo of a compressed wedge shot, I would be really interested to see it in action

cheers

The ball is struck with a descending blow when using a wedge, because with the club being shorter the swing is more upright. If the ground is firm then a ball struck correctly will always have some degree of compression, but if the ground is soft it will not.

Personally I try and take the shot with the leading edge striking the ball at about 5 o'clock and with a shallow divot. This gives the most backspin .
