Wedge distance control
Golf / Popular
Dial in partial wedge yardages with clock-face swing lengths.
What coaches agree on
- Pick one repeatable reference — a clock-face swing length, a body landmark such as your hip or chest, or a percentage of your full swing — and let that length control how far the ball flies.
- Narrow your stance and move closer to the ball as the shot gets shorter, and widen back out as the swing gets longer.

- Test each reference swing on the range with a rangefinder or launch monitor so you actually know its yardage before trusting it on the course.
Common mistakes
- Taking the backswing too far for the shot and then decelerating or steering through impact, instead of keeping one committed, accelerating tempo no matter the swing length.
