Know Your Numbers: Dialling In Your Wedge Distances
Most golfers know how far their full shots go. But how often do you really know your 30, 50 or 70-yard numbers?
That's where My Practice can make a huge difference.
On My Practice you can see your dispersion patterns — not just how far the ball goes, but how consistently you're landing it and how tightly grouped your shots are.
This is especially powerful for short pitching and wedge play. Instead of guessing how far your half wedge or three-quarter swing carries, My Practice helps you build confidence in your distances by showing your averages and patterns over time.
The best players don't guess their yardages — they know them. Use My Practice next time you're on the range and start building a scoring game you can trust.
Tracking your progress
Sam is a big fan of this as his short pitching is definitely not his strong point...
See below for a great way Sam uses My Practice to track his progress and practice the different yardages you can face on the course!
"One of the best ways I use My Practice on Toptracer is to dial in my wedge distances. I recently hit a series of quarter shots with my 60° wedge, which gave me an average carry distance and showed my shot dispersion. Instead of guessing how far that swing goes, I now know exactly what to expect. You can repeat the same process with every wedge in your bag, recording your quarter, half and three-quarter swings and then finding out the average carry distance."
"Once you've built those numbers, write them down or keep them in your phone, and you'll always know which club and swing length to use when you're faced with a different yardage on the course. Taking the guesswork out of your wedge shots."
