I can't either. But my SW sucks. I took it out of my bag lol

On a full swing, my 52 goes 112 exactly. So I just swing that 12 yards less. :D

Remember that people have different clubs.  I call my 54* wedge my SW.  Others might have a 52* or 56*

And mine is a 55, I can see how it can be confusing to just say "SW".

Maybe bplewis has a 51* and he's just a whimp

A little over a half pitching wedge. I can hit my 56 100 yards, but the pitching wedge shot is so more consistent. I used hit my 50 degree when I was between 90-110, but I like the PW more.

lol.

My SW is 56*.  Honestly I used to use my 52* as a full swing for anything from 95-110 or so.  But lately I'm just as likely to hit it chunky, or--because I flip at the ball (see my sig)--it only goes 90 and I end up in the front bunker hoping to save par when I was hoping for birdie.  So lately I've been hitting feel shots with my PW (47*).  100-110 yards or so is just about my worst distance (next would be 215-225), so I try and avoid it as much as possible.

I think my swing is de-lofting my clubs these days, 58 degree for a 100 yard shot...no roll. Or a little 53 degree wedge, but then I risk taking it too far. I need a 56.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

OK unfortunately I found that my sw actually is longer than 100 tonight in league. Flew it 110 to a rock hard green no chance at stopping it.

Today I was playing so poorly that if I was 100 yards away I just hit a long putt like stroke with a 5 iron. Was working better than anything else. :/

This is me almost to a "T", except my GW is 51°.  I can hit it 95-100, but that takes a full swing, and I like to max my wedges at about a 3/4 swing.

Oh nice. Yeah again today I tried hitting a 105 yard shot with my 52 and came up short just because I don't give it a full swing by default. Should've known better lol.

I'm at full sweeper swing  with my 52 vokey KBS wedge flex, same for my 50 deg 588 w NS 950, med bounce... I'd be at full power swing with my 56 SM4 vokey with KBS tour shaft, hi bounce. I had this shot last night. i was using an older 250.08 vokey low bounce,TTDG wedge flex, full power swing and did 98 yards...missed the 6 foot putt....arrggghhh!

Full 56.

If into the wind or uphill I'll step on it a little.

If wind behind or downhill I'll take a smidge off.

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

My "go-to" shot in that situation is a low punch three quarter pitching wedge.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

I tried hitting my 56 on a 100yd shot yesterday, tried about 5 times and I just couldn't make it there. Furthest I got it was around 80.

    • Day 149 - More slow rehearsals trying to get into a better impact position. 
    • Hi everyone, I'm looking to improve my driving distance. I’ve been playing golf for a few years now, and while my accuracy has gotten better, I’m still struggling to get the distance I want off the tee. I play regularly with both men and women, so any advice that applies to both would be fantastic. For some context, I’ve tried adjusting my stance and swing, but I feel like I might be missing some key golf techniques or drills. Has anyone here successfully increased their driving distance? What specific tips or changes worked for you? Whether it's about grip, posture, swing mechanics, or even mental approach, I’m open to all suggestions! Looking forward to hearing your experiences and advice! Thanks!
    • Day 159: 6/3/24 Stack Training Full Speed Spectrum session 20/24. Diagnosed with tennis elbow today. Finished 1 mph higher than last session.
    • I don't know… The TaylorMade Tiger Woods grinds were decent. I like narrow soles with a lot of bounce (lots of camber) and good heel/toe relief.
    • Day 33 (3 Jun 24) - In between working on my bass guitar and its wiring issues, I was able to take the putter and roll some putts on the carpet in the shop.  Spent time with the lead arm as I usually putt with it tucked close  and then doing the lead arm chicken wing.  Interesting how the feel and pace is different.  Had seen a fellow golfer using it last week when we were playing.  Overall it was good to do an easy day of putting for pace and overall distance control from 10' in.
