When a player is presented with a shot with a lot of green between them and the hole, many players prefer to hit their wedge with less spin to hit a low shot, which skids along the ground toward the hole.
To lower the trajectory of the ball, and put less back spin on it, the player closes the face of the club, or makes it steeper.
This is performed by setting up with the ball farther back in the player’s stance. With the ball farther back, the club becomes naturally angled so that the face is steeper.
This forces the ball off much closer to the ground, and provides the grooves with less opportunity to put spin on the ball, allowing it to roll farther.
