Ian, first of thank you for responding. I agree. My stance was way too open. Also, I was immediately picking the club straight up and returning it in much the same manner which just resulted in pluging the head of the wedge in the sand with the ball going maybe just a few feet. With the more square stance and the shallower angle of attack, it appears for now that club head simply glides across the sand and cuts just under the ball.
