Depends on where the pin is.

I can hit my 56 deg SW about that length but it has a good deal of spin on it with the Pro-Vs I use. I'd probably go with a 3/4 52 deg GW as well.

Make that a full swing on my TM RAC 52 degree wedge. This is, now, my most comfortable club for anything near the green.

I don't have a go-to shot from 100 yards, which is a large part of the reason I suck.  I believe I had 3-4 wedges in my hand this past weekend at around 90-110 yards with a wide open flag and I only made worse than par twice.

We need to work on this for the next 4 days then!!!

Seriously.  I don't even have a "locked in" full swing of any club to the nearest yard, let alone a 3/4 swing.

I have a very old, forged Tommy Armor pitching wedge, circa 1970.  I hit that sucker, full swing a 100 yards on the dot.  My favorite club.

Probably my worst distance right now. I'm accumulating some mental scars lately from missing that shot too many times. Just for fun after our regular Saturday game we play an extra hole from 100 yards to the island green for a few bucks. Lots of balls in the water weekly (including a lot of mine). The foursome in front of us all hit the ball in the water last week.

I don't carry a club for that shot so if I'm playing pretty well I take a little off of a sand wedge and if I'm not playing very well I'm a little better at taking even more off of a pitching wedge and hope it holds the green.

(Then cross my fingers and hope for the best).

Last year those little shots were my strong point but this year my luck on them has vanished (so far). Of course last year I practiced that shot a lot out in the yard and this year I haven't. Maybe practicing actually does help. Ha ha!

    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
