I spent about 5 hours at a pga superstore today trying to check all my stats with my 7 iron. After a nice little sweat, come to find out, my kbs 110 c-taper is exactly what they recommended. So that's the good news. Bad news is my clubs were 1/4 inch under standard. I'm 6'2 and i bend over quite a bit. I tried 3/4 inch over standard and I was so much more comfortable at address. My question is about my wedges, should I lengthen them as well?

Welcome to The Sand Trap. For the wedges, do you grip down for most shots or do you play them full length? If it is both, then I would suggest adjusting them in a similar manner as your irons.

Great question, I've tried to choke down but I'm better playing a "clock system" with a regular grip. Really trying to shoot my personal best this year so I'm trying everything lol. Thank you for the welcome

Aside from driver vs sand wedge, pros really don’t have too much of a set up difference with their clubs. If you felt better with your irons being at + 3/4” then I would assume you’d like it better with your wedges as well.

Thanks for the input, I think I'll get them extended as well.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
