Sand wedge ...yardage

[ruff-driver]

I own a 56 which many would consider to be a traditional sand wedge loft

80 yds is a comfortable controlled distance for me

a bit less this time of year

so what's your loft and how far ?

 

[Merv_swerve]

I work on 80 too.
No bonkers forum distance for me pal.

 

[Robobum]

My 58 is bang on 90yds and my 52 is 110yds

same as ...but when i was a whippersnapper of about twenty i could do my S/W around 120
today thats my nine iron .
i have a 60 lob wedge that the max is about fifty yards ,up and long.

 

[Imurg]

My 54° is good for 90 yards, the 58° is about 75..

 

[D4RK1]

Mine is a 56, this moment in time its 110 carry, summer months its 120/125 carry.
I don't use it in the sand tho, use a 60° for green side bunkers.

From game golf the average for my Icy wedges are
52* is 115
55* is 100
58* is 85

so 15yd difference between each club

 

[Ads749r]

My game golf says.
typical
pw 119
gw 107
sw 95
lw 51

i can push all them clubs 10-15 yds further if needed but then the direction becomes a problem

My thinned sand wedge goes about 175...

 

[patricks148]

56 with 13 deg of bounce, principally for getting out of bunkers and full shots between 70-95. chip with it sometimes as well.

i find if i try and hit this full out it spins too much.

 

[garyinderry]

I work on a baseline of 85 yards carry. That's full swing.

Its also my favourite club for chipping around the green. wouldn't leave home without it.


Full swing one bounce and in yesterday. :swing:

A useful shot to have in the bag :thup:
Usually happens when trying a 20yd flop :rofl:

 

[HomerJSimpson]

PW 46* is 100
Gap 52* is 80
SW 58* is 60

These aren't full out and I try not to swing too hard with these clubs to control accuracy. I can change distances by +/-10 yards or so with ease if I need to but I prefer not to have to manipulate shots too often and trying to keep it simple

 

[Face breaker]

Christ, 80yds you say my 56* goes at least 100yds directly up but only about 25yds foward !...😂😂😂

 

[ScienceBoy]

56 is 80 to 85 depending on how good my contact is.

 

[Lump]

LW 60*-No idea, doesn't get used for full shots.
SW 56*- 103
GW 52*- 117
PW 46*- 133

 

[virtuocity]

A full shot with a SW? I'd pick up a 9 iron.

Is the right answer :thup:

 

[Lump]

Is the right answer :thup:

[ruff-driver]

go on then, do tell?

It's them links boys, carry a bag full of chippers :rofl:

And no trees to flop over
