Swing the handle around your body

Phil Rodgers is one of the best instructors in the world, but he used to be a tour pro—one who was known for his wedge skills. He taught me how to hit a simple and effective high pitch from a tight lie. Set up with the face open and your feet turned slightly toward the target. When you swing, keep your hand path tight to your body and the handle of the club at the same level throughout the swing. Your arm swing and hand action should hinge the club up so that the butt of the handle is near your left pocket when you’re at your finish ( left).
