What is the Strike Wedge
The Strike Wedge is an all-in-one feedback tool designed to help you improve your golf swing. It provides insight into three critical aspects of your swing: attack angle, club path, and centerness of hit. Whether you're working on refining your swing or fixing specific issues, the Strike Wedge offers valuable feedback to help you achieve a more consistent, powerful strike.
Where to Position the Strike Wedge
The Strike Wedge is positioned behind the ball to give both visual and kinesthetic feedback as you approach the most critical part of the swing. The closer the front of the wedge is placed to the ball, the steeper the angle of attack will need to be. This positioning can be adjusted based on the shot you're practicing:
- For short pitch shots requiring a steep angle of attack, place the wedge closer to the ball.
- For mid- to long-iron shots needing a shallower angle, position the wedge further back behind the ball.
Use our Strike Wedge Optimiser to determine the correct position for any given shot.
Common Faults and Fixes
The Strike Wedge can help correct common swing faults by providing precise feedback during practice. Below are some common issues and how the Strike Wedge can help:
Too Shallow (Fat Shots/Dropkicks): The Strike Wedge encourages a steeper angle of attack to help clean up your strike.
Shanking the Ball: Attach the Side Wall to move the impact location away from the heel.
Coming Over the Top (Slicing): Use the Side Wall to promote a more in-to-out path, helping reduce slices.
Toe Strikes: The Plane Guide moves the impact point closer to the heel for more centered strikes.
Hooking (Too Far Inside): The Plane Guide helps correct an overly inside swing path, promoting a more neutral swing.
Advanced Use: For advanced training, using both the Side Wall and Plane Guide together creates a tight constraint, encouraging precision and centered contact.
Ruler
Use the ruler on the side wall to measure the desired distance away from the leading edge of the strike wedge to place the ball.
