Don't swing full at a wedge to control spin

He considers it a mistake to swing full at a wedge because of spin; overspinning the ball is as bad as a poor shot because it can spin off the green, especially in wind. He treats his 52/53-degree wedge as roughly a 100-yard club and chokes down to control it rather than hitting it full (about 112 yards) unless he has to.
