Three wedges. Nine distances. Zero guessing.
Most golfers only own one wedge swing: full. So when the number comes back 78 yards, you either steer it and leave it short, or you swing harder and fly the green. That in-between yardage is where good rounds quietly leak strokes.
The fix isn’t more effort. It’s a shorter backswing. Keep the same tempo and the same grip pressure on every wedge and change only one thing — how far back the club goes.
Three lengths: 9 o’clock, where your lead arm is about parallel to the ground. 10:30, three-quarter, hands around shoulder height. Then your full, comfortable backswing.
Three lengths across three wedges gives you nine carry numbers you can actually repeat.
Build yours in one range session. Hit 10 balls at 9 o’clock with each wedge, write down your average carry — not your best one — then repeat at 10:30 and at full. Nine numbers you’ll use for years.
