Paul Lawrie’s wedge swing: low through impact, balanced at the finish

SportLocation Golf Desk · 10 Oct 2026

On the practice range, Lawrie’s wedge shot runs from a low strike into a held, balanced finish.

Paul Lawrie’s wedge swing is defined here by its sequence: club low through the strike, then a finish held with the club across his shoulders and his trailing heel raised.

That finish follows a low pass close to the turf, with a patch of grass visibly disturbed. It gives the shot a clear ending without needing to guess its distance or outcome. Lawrie then resets beside the tray of balls, ready to go again.
