Partial wedge shots are some of the most difficult golf shots to execute because they take some time to get used to the feel of the distance, spin, trajectory, etc. Here are a few things that have worked for me with those half and 3/4 sand wedges/ short irons.
One great thing I have been doing is to weaken my left hand grip a little bit (where the v points to my sternum) and it increases my feel and distance control. It also stops the clubface rotation.
I haven't been thinking about this lately (as of (5/23/15)) but this is a good start for partial wedges
- bring in your hands closer to your body like you see Tiger Woods doing above. This limits the ability for you to get a lot of separation between your upper and lower body and it keeps your body, hands, arms, and clubs more in-sync. Knees, hips, chest all rotate with the hands staying nice and close to the pivot. Watch this for more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE3oY5GUZF0
- Drill: grab the club in your left hand, bring it right next to your right thigh and rotate through with everything in-sync. It is very crucial to have a bit of forward shaft lean at impact to make sure you are bringing the same loft to the shot every time. Keep everything moving through the pivot
