I hit a 110 yard knuckle ball wedge shot (52* wedge off the fairway) into a 20 mph headwind that pierced right through the wind. How does one consistently hit this type of shot? This shot had a lower ballflight than a typical solid wedge shot.

I don't know if my attack angle changed for this shot and maybe I need Trackman info to fully understand this shot. I liked the shot and would like to repeat it.

A piercing shot that didn't have a lot of backspin. Not the same as a shot that's solid, much more piercing through the wind. The shot was straight.

Try ball just back of center. Hands a little forward. And make a motion through the ball with the image of a "flat-bottomed circle" so to speak.

The more I think about it, you're basically reducing the Spin Loft.

The deloft brings the face down a bit. And the less negative AoA brings the AoA up a little bit.

you need to thin it a little it on purpose, really. it's like the "tour pitch" but instead of a pitch its a full shot. Not exactly easy to do repeatably.

I'll hit shots like that when i get more leverage from left side . feel it from the left shoulder down to club face .
The ball actually feels like its on face longer
