Thanks for tuning in to the second in my series on Spinning the Wedges. This video discusses the importance of Smash Factor and what you can do to get the ball traveling at the same speed as the clubhead to help maximize spin rates. For more go to www.andrewricegolf.com

Isn't this the opposite of all your (extensive) fantastic wedge information about shaft lean? Or is this just a feel? Struggling to reconcile this.

Darby Smith says:

Hi Andrew, having trouble reconciling this video with the wedge project wherein you deloft a 56 degree wedge to 40 degrees DL and hit down 5 degrees AoA to achieve maximum spin loft at 45 degrees. Now you're saying to get lots of spin, you basically need to time the flip (scoop). However, this would indeed achieve high launch angle, but not high spin…

I like this series there is a good mixture of technical explanation along with technique help
