In our forums, our members have been discussing optimum wedge layup distance.
WRXer ‘KevinMDowney’ kicks off the thread asking: “if you’re going to lay up on a par 5, what distance are you looking to lay up to?” and says he prefers “full SW to Gap Wedge – 90 to 110 range.”
And our members have been sharing their ideal wedge distance in our forums.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Sean124: “I guess my favorite would be 100 yards, which is a full smooth 60* for me.”
- jc2: “100-105 is a full sand wedge which is perfect for me. Anything more than that, I’m trying to take some off a gap wedge which I don’t control as well.”
- dsmil: “The closer the better for me. I’ve practiced the 40-70 yard shots quite a bit, so they don’t make me uncomfortable. I like using my 58 and zipping it in there low with spin.”
