Most golfers don’t struggle because of their full swing—they lose strokes around the green.
The Edison Golf Short Game Essentials Guide was built from years of teaching golfers how to improve the shots that matter most: chipping, distance control, and bunker play.
You don’t need to overhaul your swing. You just need a few key adjustments—and that’s exactly what this guide will help you do.
What You’ll Learn Inside
- How to improve distance control from 100 yards and in
- Simple keys for more consistent contact
- A better way to approach bunker shots with confidence
- Short game practice routines that actually work
- The most common mistakes that cost golfers strokes—and how to fix them
Where Equipment Can Help
Even with a good swing, most wedges lose performance on mishits.
When more weight is positioned higher in the clubhead, you get:
• More consistent ball speed
• Better distance control
• Tighter dispersion
That’s the difference between hoping—and knowing—where the ball will finish.
Customize your wedges based on how you play—so you can get the most performance around the green.
Take our WedgeFit quiz to get matched to the right lofts, gapping, and setup for your game.
Start hitting your wedge shots closer.
