What's your perfect number? The shot where, from that number, you feel very confident in your ability to hit it close.

Is it, like the host of "The Perfect Number," 104 yards - a 3/4 back-of-the-stance 51° wedge shot? Is it shorter? Longer?

44 - perfect 1/4 LW swing. I'm aiming for the flag from that number and have hit a few to tap-in distance.

60yds...my Edel 55* from the fairway especially. Just seem to hit that sweet almost every time. Feels like a 3/4 length but with a calm unforced swing.

60 yards with my AW. 1/2 to 3/4, easy swings. Depends on what kind of lie I have to work with. 

I make alot 1 putts for par from that distance.

95yds, using a 52/56/60, doesn't matter. Put me around 100yds and I'm looking to knock it tight.

There's two:

1) 65 yard flat foot 3/4 SW with a reasonable lie.

2) A teed up full 8i on a slight downhill 148 yard par 3 pin.

I don't have one currently.  I don't get to play or practice as much as I'd like to.  

If I was going to pick a number, right now, it would probably be 90 yards with a 3/4 approach wedge.  I'm going to be inside a reasonable putt length with that shot the majority of the time.  

It used to be 60 yards with a 3/4 lob wedge.  Right now, I just don't feel comfortable with either of my Vokey wedges in hand.

Lately I've been really solid from 110-115 with my gap wedge. I choke down a bit, play it in the middle of my stance and can be aggressive with my speed.
