The LOB shot is much easier than you might think. It doesn’t take much to get the ball up. Let’s read that sentence again. It is because of this that many struggle with the LOB wedge. You don’t have to help the club with its 60 degree loft.
All the LOB wedge wants you to do is take the club in your hands and swing it back. You struggle with this club. It’s like you swing the club backwards, then you slow down the speed and try to slide the club under the golf ball. You don’t realize how talented you need to do that.
To be able to make consistent contact using this method, you would need to touch a surgeon. Pay attention. This is the first. Take a complete back swing, then swing to the top of the ball. Then swing to the bottom and follow the LOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Also, you must make sure that the club remains close to ground when the ball hits. LOB shots will be more common if you let go of all your inhibitions and allow the club to move in the downswing.
The clubhead speed in the downswing will allow the golf club to climb the clubface and start to spin as soon as the ball leaves it. The spin, along with the speed of your clubhead is what makes it soft or high.
You can make the LOB shot easier than you might think if you take a complete swing and then chop down.
