Adding Spin

1) For maximum spin, choose a wedge with a high degree of bounce. 2) For more control, grip down on the shaft and play the ball in the middle (or slightly back) of your stance. 3) Use a narrow and more open stance 4) Keep your lower body still. 5) On both your backswing and follow-through, keep the club lower to the ground and moving towards the target.
The job of the clubface is to create spin. Keeping your club low at impact will cause the ball to stay on the grooves longer which creates more spin and greater stopping power on the green.
