What does everyone use for their 100-110 yard shot

[okta]

54 or 58 depending on the wind, whether its elevated and if I've eaten my wheaties that morning

[gandor]

if 100 is middle pin my 55* else if 110 middle then 50*.

[chch3]

52 degree wedge. I use my 52 degree wedge for all shots from 30-115 yards.

[bowilbury8]

That's a full PW for me. I never hit full shots with my other wedges, the ball spins too much.

[luckypolk]

53 if I can use some backspin. 48 if I need to hop and stop.

[Metzexpress4]

100-110 is somewhat of an in between yardage for me. If I'm at or just under 100, I'll use my 56*. If I am over 100 and up to 110, I'll be using my 52*. Obviously variables like wind and course layout will dictate any deviations from this plan.

[SDG90]

So much factors to weigh in here.

Soft/hard greensWindTemperatureWet/dry turfMy swing that dayUsually I use a full 56 for this shot, to stop it fast on firmer greens. When the greens are soft and I don’t want 20ft of backspin, I use my 52 or PW to reduce the spin and keep a lower trajectory.

Also, when my back is stiff or on really cold days I’m more comfortable using more club. On the other hand, on a hot summer day I can probably get my 60 to fly 110 yds.

 

[gandor]

my guessing the OP means playing at 100-110 yrds with everything factored in.

[Pepperturbo]

My club choice for 100-110 yard shot depends on conditions such as weather conditions, pin position, green undulations, nearby obstacles, and receptiveness of greens. My 58* = to 85yds, 52* = 75-105yds, 47* PW = 80-118yds, and 43* 9 iron = 115-125yds. I never think, one club one yardage. I think conditions then cover yardage.

 

 

[Jifmoli]

If I am hot, a full wack with a 56. Normally though a 50. If not my day I might punch it with a 3 hybrid and see where it ends up.. ?

[Twism86]

9i..... I suck.

[towncryer]

Not enough information. Where's the pin? Is short better than long or is long better than short? Does the green slope towards me or away? Is there an elevation change? Wind? Relative humidity? Dew point? Is Saturn in retrograde? What time zone am I in?

I can't be expected to make such a decision without all the pertinent information.

[mhk5000]

First, I would count up the number of times you actually hit from 100-110 in each round. If it's significant, then get a club that fits the number. Otherwise, don't hit it to this number. Play back to 120 or hit to 90.

 

[SUPERG]

Full 54* or Sawed off 50* , I prefer the flighted 50 down here in TX

[Myherobobhope]

Plenty of different and good strategies throughout this thread... I really want to get better at sticking them close from under 120. I hit my PW around 150 and don't hit any of my lower wedges full most of the time... I really need to work on consistent distance in this range. It's #2 on my list for this season after learning how to putt.

Mastering a consistent half shot is a challenge for me and finding the balance between swinging "hard" and "soft" has always been tough... If I back off too much, I lose control of my club head, and stepping on a shot ends up with me hitting it too hard (And usually off target). Really need to get comfortable with a half swing.

I'm planning on changing wedges this season, and hope a different loft profile might help me change my overall approach.

[HMoney7]

I highly recommend evaluating your wedge configuration. Most PW lofts today are in the 45-47 degree range. I'm betting you'd benefit from adding a 50ish degree wedge to your bag. Personally I play Vokeys at 50 (bent to 49), 54 and 58.

[Krt22]

54 or knockdown 50

[BIG STU]

You and I have the same distances basically but I do not carry a 52 only 47 PW and 56 SW. I flight mine down a lot and also hit a high cut 9 iron too. And we carry the same lofts on the respective clubs you mentioned. I guess all us old school guys think alike because I also think conditions then yardage and pull my weapon

[eagle2838]

Assuming a normal-ish lie from fairway/rough, either a 56 or 51. Comfortable full 56 is ~103, so most of this range would be some portion of a 51. Full 51 goes 120, but I hit tons of partial shots with it. I wouldn't try to crush the shorter club unless there I really need to stop it quickly or it is a back pin where long is no bueno.

[moonshine]

Depends on may variables for sure. When DJ decided to up his game he related his wedges to a clock face and practiced for countless hours with each one to get better. IMO, you can hit that shot with whatever club you want.

[shinobi]

50 or a soft PW depending on the lie and conditions

[EaglesGolf99]

For the most part, a nice, stock, 58° wedge.

[Golfjack]

Depending on how I'm feeling swing wise that day, could be a knock down 50 (which is more like 100-105), or an easy PW (110-120, not as good at controlling this one). Also depends on if I want to miss short or long. If miss long, PW, short 50. If I really want to fly it I swing a 3/4 56, which is a rare situation. If there's a tall tree between me and the flag I might try a 60 degree all out or just pitch it sideways lol.

[toddba11]

PW or 9 iron....usually wedge (46).

[Neurotica]

Smooth 50 degree.

[randywall]

My Gap Wedge is about 90 yards and my Pitching Wedge 115, so I'd grip down an inch on the PW.

[HappyGilmoresBoots]

9i as well.

[Jack Pearsall]

52 or pw depending on conditions, lie and swing that day.

[randywall]

That's an issue I struggle with every winter, and this year I've tried to pay particular attention. It seems like the percentage distance loss on the short irons/wedges is a lot smaller than on the mid irons and woods.

[ibluetooth]

On a stock shot I use my 53* (AP1 718) - full swing. Depending on wind, pin location, ball position relative to feet, I may use something else accordingly.
