Lee Trevino's Burning Wedge (Video)

Way lower back in 2011 I posted this video approximately how Lee Trevino hit what's now known as the "burning wedge." Basically it is a wedge that flies in low with loads of spin and prevents quickly. Since Saturday was Lee's birthday (he turned 79) I thought I'd submit it again... With a further video to try to make it clearer.

Lee's clarification is pretty clean, but it would not hurt to have a higher video of him hitting the shot, would it? So here's Jason Dufner hitting the burning wedge, and it's a very clear face-on view.

The large thing to note right here is how far again in his stance Jason has the ball. That's the important thing to the burning wedge: You've got to hit DOWN on that baby and you're the usage of the the front edge of the membership, now not the soar.

It's a pleasant shot to have whilst you're hitting to a hard green or when you don't have loads of room to land the ball. Just make sure you practice it earlier than you are taking it to the course!
