You can use anything from a 7, 8, 9, PW, Gap, or Sand Wedge here. It all depends on how far you want the ball to roll. Remember that the ball comes off really slow and doesn't roll too fast like a normal chip and run. That is why I use a club with less loft. Try different clubs and see what works best for you. Good Luck!

Good Luck! Let me know if you have any questions or issues.

I believe you are asking this question under the wrong tip. This tip is the putting chip. Maybe find the one with the downhill lie.

I chose an 8 iron because I wanted to be sure I could roll the ball far enough to the hole which was a little uphill and I had enough loft to get it over the ground in front of me. If I chose a 5 or 6 iron, I would have felt as though it would have rolled too far with the effort I would have had to give it to get over the grass in front of me. I hope that makes sense,

You are welcome.

I typically play the ball back when I want the ball to roll more as it closes the face more. I tell my students left is loft, middle is neutral, right is roll. Since you always use a 7 iron and are comfortable with it, that is fine. I am using an 8 and playing it back in my stance, so this kind of makes what we are both doing, the same. Does that make sense? I change clubs more depending on the circumstance; how far do I want to fly it and how far do I want to roll it.

Thank you for validating! Ray Floyd is a wizard for sure! My husband Allen has played with him many times on the PGA TOUR! Keep up the good work!

Yes, and No.
The toe will be down because you are standing so close to the ball and the grip is pointing up towards your chin, not towards your belly button. The face will be a little closed because you are playing the ball back in your stance, on your right foot, which will make the ball roll. I don’t want you to try to shut the face with your hands. I just want it to close naturally as you move your feet. I hope that makes sense. Watch the video a few times if you need to see this closer.

I’m still trying to learn the basics, so please bear with me: In your scenario with the ball back by your right foot, it makes sense to me that your club will be DE-LOFTED (compared to how it would be if the ball were closer to your lead foot during address). However, if the face is still aligned right at the target, doesn’t this mean that the face would be SQUARED as opposed to CLOSED? If so, why bother describing the club as closed if it’s merely delofted?

Thank you!

Thank you. I used the 8 iron because I had a longer ways to roll it. You can use anything from a Sand, Pitch, 9, 8, or 7 iron.
