Pop it out of the rough.
If you find your ball in rough near the green, let the club do its work to get the ball up and out of the lie and onto the green. Open your stance a little, and place your weight forward. Open the face of your wedge slightly, and make an upright backswing. Hit down and through with no wrist movement to allow the club to use its natural loft to pop the ball up and out. Do not try to "help" it out be flipping your wrists.
