Wedges going same distance

[Ryce13]

During my last 2 rounds I've noticed my 52,56 and 60 wedges all go the same distance. They go between 85-95 yards. What can cause just my wedges to do this? All my other irons are good

Probably flipping the 56, and the 52 even more.  Happens to me too with short irons, something about the shorter shaft and higher trajectory that causes me to scoop at the PW/GW sometimes.  Try practicing some half swings where all you're focused on is solid contact and a lower trajectory.  When that feels good take full swings but try to keep it at 85% instead of 100%.  Swinging harder with a short iron/wedge often just leads to more spin and more height, but no extra distance.

Thanks for the response. I've never heard of flipping before, but after researching what flipping was I Decided to check for it on the range. Sure enough that's what I was doing and me swinging harder seemed to make it worst. Now I have to slowly break mysel of this. I just find it weird that I only do that with my wedges.

It is weird-if I'm hitting 3-7 iron I'm 97% sure of how far the ball is going to travel (w/ in 5-8 yds or so).  But get a short iron/wedge in my hand, and I'm only about 85% sure, because every once in a while I throw a nice flip in there and hit an extra high shot that's 10-15 yds short of what I was expecting.  Taking one extra club and not swinging hard with wedges has been the most important step I've made in cutting down on the ugly scoop shots.
