hit your PW as a 55 yard shot would be a 1/2 PW for you.
Likewise a 1/2 sand wedge should be your 40 yard shot and a 1/2 lob wedge should be your 35 yard shot.
You can even break these clubs down to 3/4 and figure your yardage with that. For example, a 3/4 PW would be your 83 yard shot.

Since my last post I have after lots of experimentation solved the problem of hitting shots from 100 yds. I keep the ball left of center. On backswing I break wrist completely (as much as possible) even beyond 90 degress. The ball goes high and lands softly. I have yet to miss a shot after adopting this swing. Please try and give me some feedback.

just take away from how hard you hit the ball with each club

Hey Chris… it seems to me you´ve read the Stan Utley book on Short Game…

I am a 8 handicapper and have a hard time hitting half shots. My specific problem is as follows: I hit the PW 110 yards, SW 80 yds, and Lob wedge (60 degrees) 70 yds. What is the best shot to hit to a flag located 55 yds away? The flag is about 10 yds from the edge of the green. I use a PROV1 Titleist Golf ball. The greens are on the hard side and the ball rolls from 1 to 6 yds depending on the type of shot. How should the shot be hit with each of the three clubs?

Will this shot go low or will the wrist break make it go high. A longer pitch generally requires a higher shot more like a lob shot with a soft landing.

not really because you’ll never get the same ball flight or spin rate using this technique. look up hank’s pitching advice, its much better.
September 8, 2009
low loft and lots of spin is a good thing.
If you want a soft landing high lob pitch then fine use another technique. But this shot is important to have in your bag surely??
September 11, 2009
awful. if you want deep divots, no loft and loads of spin pitch like this.

It’s unfortunate that an amateur golfer may encounter this video and try to apply the fifty things this instructor has prescribed. If I had to remember all of those things I could never make a golf swing. I’m sure this instructor is the same.

Annoying voice >:(
My favorite thing to do is take long golf vacations. Golf makes me wild, what can I say?! I am addicted to twitter and enjoy my followers on there. I spend most every day playing the game I love, GOLF! I am single and have no children, maybe in the future if I find the right guy! I am currently living in Palm Springs, CA. Hit me up on twitter!
