Lean the shaft for a rough chip

With green to work with, use a 56-degree wedge back in the stance with some shaft lean. That helps set the club early and come down steeper. Plan for the ball to come out a little hot and run out.

Try it

  1. play this back in the stance
  2. a little bit of shaft lean
  3. come down a bit steeper
  4. land this about three yards on let it run out

Why this context matters

The lie has grass behind the ball and enough green for release.
