Your 24/7 Personal Golf Coach

If you ask great players or professional golfers how to lower your scores, they’ll all tell you the same thing: work on your short game.

A reliable short game saves strokes, builds confidence, and turns frustrating rounds into satisfying ones. But knowing exactly how and where to begin can be tricky.

That’s why we’ve created the Short Game Formula.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your wedge control, manage tricky lies, or dial in precise distances, this course covers everything you need.

We’ve divided the program into six targeted modules:

  • Module 1 establishes your baseline, simplifying setup and building consistent contact patterns.
  • Module 2 teaches adjustments for different lies, slopes, and proper club selection.
  • Module 3 gives you clear strategies for real-world short-game situations.
  • Module 4 helps you master mid-distance wedge shots (20–80 yards) with repeatable techniques.
  • Module 5 provides drills and games that enhance skill, feel, and touch around the greens.
  • Module 6 ensures your equipment is optimized, improving performance and confidence.

Module 1 Trajectory Control Basics

The foundation of a great short game starts with one reliable, repeatable shot.

Module 1 shows you how to build that go-to shot by mastering setup, wrist position, and contact.

These are the building blocks that unlock consistent height, rollout, and confidence around the green.

Trajectory Control Basics

Build reliable contact with a neutral setup and stable lead wrist extension.

This shot is your short game foundation. It requires a simple setup, repeatable motion, and a wrist pattern that keeps the face square throughout.

No over-manipulating. No guesswork. The body, arms, and club move together with minimal wrist change. The goal is consistency, not creativity.

Video Breakdown:

  • Setup: ball centered, narrow stance, feet flared slightly, weight 55/45 favoring the lead side.
  • Demonstrated 7–11° of lead wrist extension throughout the motion with HackMotion.
  • Emphasized avoiding flexion to prevent closing the face and reducing loft.
  • Reinforced that good contact begins at setup, especially with ball position, shaft lean, and wrist angles.

Module 2 Lie, Slope, and Club Selection Adjustments

The best short game players don’t guess; they adjust.
Module 2 teaches you how to adjust your setup, shot height, and club choice according to the lie and slope.

You’ll learn to handle the toughest situations without changing your entire swing.

Learn to Handle the Lies Most Golfers Fear

Tight, sandy lies and thick, fluffy rough are some of the most intimidating spots around the green. This video shows how to adjust your setup and wrist mechanics to turn these tough breaks into playable shots using your existing short game system.

For the tight, sandy lie, you’ll use a low shot setup: ball back, shaft raised slightly, and wrists in ulnar deviation to help manage low point and avoid the heel digging.

For the fluffy lie, it’s the opposite. You’ll need more loft, more wrist extension, and a firm, committed swing to keep the club moving through the grass.

Video Breakdown:

  • Explained how poor lies demand precision with club delivery and low point control.
  • Emphasized ulnar deviation to stabilize the wrists and prevent unwanted wrist changes during impact.
  • Reinforced the need to practice these lies, not just understand them, because the golf course rarely gives you a perfect lie.

Module 3 Real-World Scenarios: Shot Choices to Two Flags

Knowing how to hit a shot is one thing. Knowing when to use it is another.

Module 3 helps you make smarter decisions by walking through real-life short game situations, such as short-sided pins or wide-open greens, and showing which options work best and why.

Real-World Scenarios
2 Videos

Master short-sided chips by choosing the safest shot for your skill level.

Short-sided situations give you little green to work with, so your biggest challenge is controlling energy and rollout.

The key is not trying to hit the “hero shot” because you’ll want to ensure you’re putting when you finish this shot. Sometimes it’s a lob wedge, other times it’s an 8-iron.

Video Breakdown:

  • Explained how short-siding yourself leaves minimal room for error and increases risk.
  • Demonstrated four shot options (lob wedge, putter, 8-iron, pitching wedge) from the same lie
  • Compared the rollout and predictability between lofted chips and low-running shots.

Module 4 Mid-Distance Wedge Shots (20–80 Yards)

Pitch shots don’t have to feel like guesswork.

Module 4 breaks down the mid-distance wedge game into a simple three-swing system.

You’ll learn how to control carry, manage rollout, and hit those awkward in-between yardages with confidence.

Mid-Distance Wedge Shots

Build a repeatable pitching swing with structure and connection.

Using a hip-to-hip swing with a single wedge gives you a consistent short-distance shot to rely on under pressure.

Keeping your arms and body connected helps eliminate overuse of wrists and arms, which can lead to inconsistent contact. Rotating your chest and hips, even on short shots, helps build a better rhythm and improve impact quality without requiring extra speed.

Video Breakdown:

  • Explained how a hip-height backswing and follow-through create a reliable 20–30 yard shot.
  • Demonstrated a towel-under-arms drill to reinforce arm-body connection and control.
  • Showed how body rotation (not just arms) is essential even for small swings.

Module 5 Drills and Games for Skill Building

Good mechanics need smart practice to stick.

Module 5 provides you with targeted drills and games designed to sharpen your feel, reinforce technique, and make your short game more dependable, even under pressure.

Train a Straight Swing Path by Controlling the Club’s Plane.

One of the fastest ways to improve short game consistency is to stop the club from going too far inside on the backswing.

By using alignment sticks angled to match your club’s shaft, you can train a straighter, more repeatable motion that keeps the club on plane and avoids fat or thin contact.

This swing plane station sets clear boundaries for your takeaway and follow-through, making it easier to build a reliable short game motion that holds up under pressure.

Video Breakdown:

  • Demonstrated how to build the alignment stick station to match your club’s plane.
  • Showed how to keep the shaft above the sticks during the swing for better path control.
  • Used HackMotion to track wrist angles and create measurable benchmarks.
  • Encouraged starting with small swings to build consistency before progressing to full chip shots.

Module 6 Short Game Equipment Talk

Your gear can help you or hold you back.

Module 6 explains what matters when it comes to wedges, bounce, loft, and golf balls.

You’ll learn how to make smarter equipment choices that support your technique and improve consistency.

Dial In Your Short Game with the Right Wedges and Golf Ball.

Your equipment plays a major role in short game consistency. Finding properly fit wedges and sticking to a consistent golf ball will make a difference.

Many golfers rely on stock set wedges, but a proper wedge fitting can fine-tune bounce, loft, and sole design to match your swing and course conditions.

Pairing that with a consistent golf ball gives you the feedback, spin control, and feel needed to develop touch and trust in your shots from inside 100 yards.

Video Breakdown:

  • Explained why using specialty wedges (not set wedges) leads to better short game performance.
  • Highlighted the importance of bounce and how it affects turf interaction.
  • Discussed loft gapping and building a wedge matrix for distance control.
  • Explained how using one consistent ball improves feel, spin control, and short game confidence
