100 yards. I've worked on these distances since last September:
50 deg.: 3/4 swing = 100 yrds, 1/2 swing = 50 yrd with roll
56 deg.: 3/4 swing = 80 yrds, 1/2 swing = 40 yrd with roll
60 deg: 3/4 swing = 50 yrds no roll, 1/2 swing 20 yrd with little roll.

i think i'm pretty damn clutch with my 56*... which would be anywhere from 0-85.. and expect to be on the green with up to around 150ish

150 and in I am pretty accurate. I can't tell you how many putts I miss after that though...

My ideal yardage is from about 100 to 155. I feel very confident in that range, but really struggle inside 100. This weakness is my focal point as of right now. I just don't have any feel on the short shots.

I would have to say 110 in with PW or SW. For whatever reason I can't hit my 9 but the 8 and 7 are two of my best clubs. I think it might be a mental block on the 9 iron.

105 yards with my 52 degree PW from a soft fairway lie. Choke down half way and swing the club just a smidge past vertical on the backswing. May sound a bit complicated, but I'd say 75% of my practice is practicing 115 yards and in with my PW, SW and LW. Love it too!
