Wedges
Every area of the game requires a specific impact to bring about a desired ball flight.
Each golf club by design has both vertical and horizontal elements.
The longer the shaft & the less the loft the more the club possesses horizontal elements.
The shorter the shaft & the more the loft the more the club possesses vertical elements.
A club with more vertical elements makes hitting shots that require a more horizontal impact more challenging.
The Best Wedge Players use less vertical force than with any other club.

On The Course
If you are not able to recognize danger you cannot expect to eliminate it. Regardless of the player everyone falls into the same category of misses.
