Use a ping pong paddle image to strike spinning wedges

Think of a ping pong paddle for the wedge strike: an open face with a downward angle of attack, clipping the ball. Set up with the top of your 'pendulum' — your nose and sternum — right on top of the ball; that stacks over where the bottom of the swing will be, so the club descends on the ball with a more open face. It gives the golfer a visual for where the low point of the swing is.
