A comfortable yardage..

[Lump]

Do you have a comfortable yardage for your pitch shots?

I seem to have two. The shorter being 65-70yrds with a 52 degrese wedge. Its not a full out swing but a nice comfortable half swing, it'll take a hop and then stop.
The longer one is 115-120yrds, again with a 52 degree wedge. This is a nice full swing without being a madman swinging an axe. It'll take a hop and then screwback. Has to be played aggressively.

The only reason I ask is the guys I play with don't know what they hit each club with each swing. Their short game is pretty poor but only because they pick up the club that feels right, not the one which is right for the yardage.

(These are winter yardages with greens playing like dart boards)

I like 95yds with my 52.

I tend to hit my PW 100 yards with a decent controlled full swing. My 52 goes about 85 and my 58 about 65. I tend to use a nice 10 o'clock swing with my 52 to fill the gap between the 58 and my 52

I like 95yds with my 52.

I like that club and yardage.Full shot with my 52 is about 110,but i like choking down the grip and shortening the swing.

105 with my 58. Just feels like I can put it all the way without having to manipulate it.

Just getting used to my new wedges now and the same half swing (arms parallel to ground back and through) will go 65, 75, or 85 depending on which wedge I use.

If I was forced to pick a favourite distance I'd say 100yds which is a 3/4 swing with my 51°.

Spot on 100 yards with a nice swing with a pitching wedge.
9 iron is 125 with what feels like the same swing.

105 with a 52* but in the real world 100yds is fine

 

[MegaSteve]

My regular track has a red dot marking in the fairway to indicate 100yds out... When laying up I try to get adjacent[ish] to this... As, I know, depending on conditions its generally either my wedge or gap wedge that I need to get on the green...

for me it's around 110yrds.....i seem to love that distance and i prefer to use my 48* and play a 3/4 shot.i get more control with the ball and seem to judge it better.

when i try and play the full shot from this range i start to lose it a little bit.

120 with my pw. I really struggle with 40/50 yards over something! I know it's technique more than anything! Am currently working on a half gap wedge swing..... Thin city here I come!!!

I also like 105 yards with my 52 deg, i always feel I can knock it dead from this distance

 

[patricks148]

195 with my 50 deg wedge

perfect
