list of the 50 Best Teachers in America<\/a> and the son of Butch Harmon. \u201cIt\u2019s great for hitting that low, runner. But if you have to get the ball in the air, your weight is going to have to go back and you\u2019re going to get that dreaded scoop. Or you\u2019re going to hit a thin shot.\u201d<\/p>\nIf you want more consistency in your short game, Harmon says you should simplify your setup. Play the ball more centered in your stance and lean the handle forward only slightly. This puts the clubhead in a much more neutral position, like the photo below.<\/p>\n

Harmon shares a bit of advice Tiger Woods once told him: When you set up, look at the angle the clubface is resting at: that\u2019s the same angle you want the clubface to be when you\u2019re back at impact. It\u2019s going to be easy to deliver the club back to that position if you\u2019re addressing the ball in this more neutral setup.<\/p>\n
By making this small change, you\u2019ll hit higher, softer shots with more consistency. And when you to want to hit a lower shot, just use a lower-lofted club instead of trying to deloft your favorite wedge. Since it’s a simpler system, your performance around the greens will improve rapidly.<\/p>\n
