I know you've heard this before, but instructor Randy Chang's suggestion that you make this recovery shot a regular drill is useful -- particularly since he suggests which club to use!
Chang specifically suggests you use a 9-iron because it gives you a wider face to work with when you flip your club. But it's also smart because wedges make it much more likely that you will pull the ball sideways.
In the video you can see that he creates some "loft" by tilting the club so the face points slightly upward. But equally useful is what he DOESN'T mention. Chang makes no setup changes! This drill makes the shot as much like your normal shots as possible.
There's no real trick to this drill, but that's the beauty of it. Make this a regular part of your practice and you may be surprised at how playable this shot is... and how much your comfort with this shot annoys your playing partners!
