52º wedge if I want it to stop around that distance.

I like my pw from here, I haven't got a wedge that's inbetween that (tm atv 54 deg wedge ordered) and my 60deg atv wedge,I find that I'm pretty confident with my pw but not always accurate with it.

Depends on the green and pin placement, but lets say i don't have to worry about a bunker in the front. I usually take my 130 club and hit a 3/4 easy swing, slightly grip down on the club. The ball comes out lower with enough spin to one hope and stop. I don't worry about spinning it back or having it run through the green. Its really my favorite shot from 100 yards that i don't use enough.

I'm the same as rehmwa.  This is my lay up distance for the condition described.  I can bring it in a bit lower with more spin or high and soft.  This is one of my favorite shots.

100 yards is my go to lay up as well. Full 60* wedge. Nothing feels better than hitting that shot watching it fly way up and drop like a bomb with a little spin back.

Thats my wheelhouse shot.     I HATE taking off wedges (my biggest goal next year is to work on that to become comfortable with 3/4 wedge shots) ... a full PW would be too long (can't tell you how many holes I've ruined by trying to take off wedges & still hitting it too long & overshooting greens).    So for 100 yds its my 48° nice & smooth full wedge, all day every day

For that shot, I grip down an inch or 2 on my 52* wedge and use a 3/4 swing.

I stuggle with this shot ... do you limit your backswing and take the same full downswing ...

Yes to the first option. You can also throw in choking up to take some distance off. Never ever decelerate though. The next time you are out for a practice round, for every iron shot, take one club extra, choke up about 1, maybe 2 inches max, and bring your hands back only to about 10:00 (I forgot what A position that is) on the backswing. Then hit like normal. Good luck!

A smoooooooooth 56deg sand wedge.  I'll try to fly it right to the cup.....play for 1 bounce and the ball to suck back.   If I hit it straight,  I'll have 2 chances to hole it
