⛳ Wedges & PitchingIntermediate15 shots per wedge

What it fixes: Three reliable carry numbers per wedge.

How to do it

  1. Hit 5 shots with your backswing to 9 o'clock, note the average carry
  2. Repeat at 10:30 and full swing - now you own 3 numbers per wedge
  3. Write the 9 numbers (3 wedges x 3 lengths) in your phone
  4. Validate the numbers monthly with your launch monitor
Pro tip: Same tempo for every length - the backswing length changes distance, not effort

This drill moves Carry by club — track it session to session with the Carry Distance guide open. A drill without a measured before/after is a feeling, not a fix: hit a baseline block, do the drill, re-measure the same block.
