Skulled one bad on a layup today. Very hard fairway ground.
I need a safe shot when my feel is off. Pitching wedge knock down?

I also tossed a dart from same distance with a nicer lie.

It’s a 70% gap for me. I don’t get enough spin on my PW when I take that much off. Doesn’t hold a green as much as I’d like. YMMV

I use either a 48 degree Cleveland Rtz wedge or 54 degree Rtz wedge - depending on slope etc

Intentional topped driver goes about 100 and pretty straight on firm fairways

But in all seriousness, I either hit a 80% SW (54). Hands to upper chest in backswing, 7/10 swing speed.

Or a 67% PW (47). Choke down 2 inches, hands to mid chest in backswing, 5.75/10 swing speed. I use this shot in the wind.

I'll do a full 55 to a front pin, 3/4 50 into a mild breeze, and I have this shot where I take my hands to about waist high with a pitching wedge with to get a low one if the wind is really howling.

100 yards is a perfect full swing 58° for me, or a smooth 54°. I need to practice hitting 100 yards with other clubs though.

Full Gap Wedge for me.

Any time I try to take something off a club dealing with hard pan it's a disaster.

Never hit any wedge full, always club up and hit a 70-80% shot with a lower flight.
