I'm a great believer in hard work at the practice range, the short game being the priority. I like to find a quiet spot with a very tight lie and work on my 52 and 56 wedges. I envision shots from 50-100 yards and concentrate on taking a divot after the ball, it really is a control shot when playing an approach on firm greens.
My favourite shot is a 52 wedge from 40-50 yards, I use Titelist Pro-V 1's, great feel from that particular ball, I play the ball back in my stance, I take a wee bit of loft off the club, slightly hooded. Playing from a tight lie I concentrate on the back of the ball and strike down and through. I choke down the grip about a couple of inches and don't use a lot of upper body movement.
I call it my " no fear " shot, I can throw it right at the flag and properly executed the ball will bite and stop. I carry a wee brush with brass bristles and prior to playing that shot I give the grooves a good rub.
