I hit my current 54* ~100 yards.


As to why I'm looking at Nike:

I want to maintain a similar look at address and the Nike's come the closest.

i've probably practiced the 0-100 yard range three or four times more than anything else in my bag over the last few years. it's all about practice and feel.

60*: 0 - 100 yards depending. normally don't push it past 90
56*: 90 - 110 yards depending. normally don't push it past 105
52*: 105 - 120 yards depending.

wind and pin position make all the difference.

i have to swing way to hard to hit mine that far, im thinking it would be easier with the 52 or 54.

Never let other peoples club selection and distance control yours

i feel like to hit my 56 far i have to kill it, and i usually miss hit it


definitely adjust to not play wedges at full swing. i stopped because it was too erratic

that just happens to be the distance mine play.

like i said i can get my 56* to 110 if i want. but i normally don't try and over do it.

this is what i've been doing. But like i said to hit my 56* about 80-100 yards i have to kill. Im thinking with i 52* i could just hit a 3/4 swing.

how far can the yall hit a 52 degree wedge, i need a wedge i can hit about 80 without having to kill it


I carry a 53.5*. Max carry on it is right around 113. Max on my 60* is 85. Those are just comfortable swings, not trying to step on it.

Unless the number is perfect, I don't hit those that often. I try to drive it in low unless the pin is right up front.

Your wedges should pretty much be the clubs you hit lowest, easier to control

Same full swing...just change the face angle. If its 75 or less I just choke down an inch every 10 yards off my 56 which I usually hit 95 with a normal swing. I can press my hands and get it up to 112 or so without over swinging. My club has a wedge range from 50-140 and I spent a few weeks dialing in distances with different hand positions/face angles/ball position/etc. Just go to the range and figure out your consistent distances.

Poles set up on left and right every 20 yards so you can get a better estimate. I go there more than the full range.

What he's talking about requires more time than we might have.

Where is this/where do you do this?

ETA: I'd love to get on a football field or something and do some wedge work.
