Hitting my Wedges longer, too Long

[garyinderry]

try it out. can be tricky off a tight lie. you have to trust that the bounce of the club will allow you to slide the club under the ball.

i dont mind doing it off a fluffy lie. kinda of opposite to what phil says here. maybe as i dont have the weight as he says too far foward.

for me the flop shot i need so rare and so risky

 

[garyinderry]

you can use this kind of shot to get height with the 56 or 52. if its sitting up nicely in the rough. you can put it forward in stance to hit them higher rather than long as you were doing.

Recently ive used a new swing for my wedges and finallly the bad shots the bad contacts are gone
but i have a problem now where i seem to be hitting my wedges so much further
I used to be able to know when to get out my Sw or Pw
I was on my local course today and from a certain point on a hole i knew it is 70 yards to the middle of the green, i pulled out my 62 degree wedge . i know a full swing will get me there ive done a million times

Used my new swing for my wedge caught the ball perfectly and it flys 20 yards over the back of the green

I was hitting my PW 135 yards i dont know if thats long, but im struggling now with judgement of distances, i cant afford a range finger or gps

Any tips on how to judge distances?????

for me the flop shot i need so rare and so risky

Nothing risky or rare about it fella.

If you're air-mailing the green (...by 20 yards with a 62* wedge) which you say is 70 yards away, and you hit your PW 135, hit a pitching wedge with a half swing.

Should be there or there abouts.

Simples :thup:

 

[moogie]

its possible but when i de loft it alittle or when i dont deloft at all to get height theres not a huge difference in distance

I DONT Understand that
If I played a 'Normal' Swing / Shot with my wedge.......Then Played another DELOFTED, then I Guarantee that the Delofted would fly Lower and FURTHER...........I Bet most others here would Experience that too....??

You mention a 'new swing'. Please explain what this new swing is?

I keep my lower body quiet with wedges. only move top half, good tempo of swing instead of just power
working well with my wedges, im starting to come down on the ball now

SO, lets get this RIGHT.........

Lower Body Quiet
Only Top Half Moves
Good Tempo
Instead of JUST Power

AND YOU HIT YOUR PITCHING WEDGE 135 YARDS ...........!!!!

Sorry Pal, but u are starting to sound like a COMPLETE B S HITTER
135 yards with a PITCHING WEDGE is a Flat out 100% Full Swing for a TOUR PRO

Either
a) U have no idea of distances, and are guessing them
b) U are just winding up the forum
c) U are talking B S

So come on, fess up

Hold on moogie. We play with a 25 capper who does hit a 60* 130 yards. Some may say this is crap, but I've gave him f-m-b distances to a green that he's flown with this said wedge.

Granted he has a swing speed that sets off speed camara's , and he does deloft the club. But never the less he does fly greens from 120 with this wedge

You have to appreciate we do get a lot of people here with optimistic distance claims.

Understood, but im 6 foot 4 and i know that helps with distances, and recently ive imporved alot

Judging distance is something you either know, or you measure.

Some people use gps/laser to measure. Some people seem to have an abilit to just see distances very well.

Either way, get out and do it, then your wedges will be worth it
