No Phallic Jokes Please!

I was looking at an instructor's website and one of the training aids mentioned was an "extended wedge". A quick search didn't reveal anything.

What is it, a wedge with a longer shaft? Has anyone tried hitting a PW with a shaft length of a 5 iron?

Sometimes for chipping and such instructors have a wedge with some kind of rod extending out the grip end a few feet. Perhaps that is what extended wedge means. I think the general idea is if you "flip" or do other "bad" things, the extended rod will hit you on the side and provide some physical feedback that you did something wrong.

    • Yes.  Did he not hit the range before the round? When my first few pre-round drives aren't what I expect, the first thing I check is my driver settings, in case they changed.  I am on my second adjustable driver and I am still not trusting that golf gremlins don't change it between rounds. The second thing I check is my alignment and setup, and that is far more often the culprit than my settings. In any case, there are some simple things that I imagine should be on a professional player's pre-round checklist that I am surprised when they aren't.  One of those is the settings for any adjustable clubs. 
    • It was also set at B1 at a previous event, and… so there's dubiousness around whether he's telling the truth (again).
