"OK, we're going to use the sixty degree wedge in this segment and all that means is that the club is very lofted, it's a very open face so I going to get the ball high with my shot. So it's not too windy right now so I feel pretty comfortable hitting a high shot cause the distance we're hitting isn't that great. So the wind even if there's a little bit of wind won't affect it that much. So I'm going to aim at my target, get lined up. I'm going to use a neutral clubface and I'm going to take a nice relaxed reasonably steep swing cause I want to get the ball up high and that was pretty successful. So this is a shot that the sixty degree wedge gives you the ability to get the ball real high and then the ball won't roll that much once it lands on the green. So it's a great shot to practice endlessly. You got to have it as it's got to be nearly automatic cause if you don't hit it that well then you're faced with a long put so instead of getting up and down in two shots it might take you three or four shots. So sixty degree wedge, this is a great shot from this distance whether you open the face or keep it closed. Just pop that ball up high and you'll have a successful shot."
