Q: Dear Chef, I tend to blade chips from tight lies. What’s my problem? —Dan L., Levittown, N.Y.
Tight lies can be intimidating for recreational players when you’re using a high-loft club, so my first solution would be to try playing more of a bounce and release.
But if you’re determined to use a wedge — or the shot requires some carry distance — try not to use your wrist too much and keep your body rotating all the way through impact.
Using less wrist and more body rotation will shallow out the clubface for more solid contact.
