What does everyone use for their 100-110 yard shot

[meb7]

Big fan of the knockdown wedge shots, don't love going full-bore and getting 100 yards out of the 58. 100-110 is the 54 all day, but if you can find the right swing length, keep the same speed and try the PW until you can hit the number with the right about of spin.

100 Yard Shot will use 54 degree wedge most cases (assuming no crazy wind or elevation change)Front Pin: 54* behind the pin and hope to spin it backMiddle Pin: smooth 54* abbreviated finish near where it lands but not rip back.Back Pin: flighted 54* (one hop and stop or slight release110 Yard Shot will use 50 degree wedge most cases (assuming no crazy wind or elevation change)Front Pin: 50* behind the pin and hope to spin it backMiddle Pin: smooth 50* abbreviated finish near where it lands but not rip back.Back Pin: knockdown flighted 50* (one hop and stop or slight release)

It's part of the set. G400. I have the G400 SW, too. The worst part of my game is between 80 and 30 yards.

[hobbes928]

hold my beer as I own this shot. 60 wedge, thin it.

[ZA206]

Basically this... except I NEVER play on flat courses unless I'm in FL or something... LOL! I swear it seems like I flight 90% of my wedge shots with my 50 & 55 wedges b/c of upslope/downslope lies. Pin position also plays a big part of my decision as well.

My "stock" distances (assume flat lies, no wind... yadda yadda)

55 SW = 100, 50 GW = 115

-ZA

[Hit em good]

I use MP64 pw for that shot.

Stock full shot is 110.

Hit em good

I’m guessing this post is why his handicap is somewhat lower than mine.

[TServos]

Assuming no wind, no elevation change, off a clean lie, that would be a SW.

[beercarthero]

This all really depends on target/situation/wind/temperature/time of the year.

However I very rarely hit full swing wedges as is. Could be hard 54* or soft 50* or knockdown PW.

60-120 yards is for creative shot making in my opinion, many different ways to find the green.

[gdb99]

My 50* gap goes 105 max. So that shot would be a choked up PW or 9 iron.

[Joelsim]

Couldn’t agree more with this.

With clubs above a PW, there’s good, consistent gapping available with a full shot. Under this it’s more complicated IMO. Whereas I know if I hit a PW well it’ll go 120y, I also know that if I hit one badly it’ll go 110y. If I hit my 60* well it’ll go 75y but if I hit it badly it’ll go 150y, or it could go 50y.

Every shot over 100y it’s likely to be between two clubs depending on wind and elevation, unless of course it’s stormy. Below 80y I could use any one of about 10 clubs depending on the shot. I don’t always choose the best one, but am learning.

[JStang]

100 is my 58 and I take a little off my 52 for 110. This is where I miss my 4 wedge setup.

[jwhite86]

GW is my go to... took a lot of experimenting to find that yardage

[TechBroker]

It’s going to come down to me just working at it.

 

four seasons has many elevated greens so bringing it in low is not usually the best option.

[Exactice808]

With my Sig set, 50,54,58 Vokey SM5's with X100

straight up 100Y shot, would by my 54* all day everyday, hint of wind or anything to make it longer (uphill) its my 50*

 

I have a second set of wedges for faster greens, 50,56,60 SM4s with wedge flex,

 

I just cant get the 56 to 100y consistently, (the wedge flex and 2* more loft) gives me a varying 90-100) So right back to a smooth 50*

 

 

[Chuck905]

Choked down PW. I don’t carry a GW.

[Carl Spackler3]

Pw100 , 9I 110

[TechBroker]

You choke down?

[Joelsim]

On an elevated green you need to be hitting something with more distance, in a wind with a high elevation this could be 2 or 3 clubs more.

[Stumpnav]

Assuming flat lie, no height difference, no wind etc and I need to fly it 100-110 it will be my 52*….I average about 105 with it.

[GeauxGolfLSU]

Assuming a flat lie with no wind to a middle flag on a dry course, I'll use my 54° for 100 yards and 50° for 110 yards. If any of the conditions are different, I could use anything from a 9 iron to a 60° for those distances.

[Seidinho]

I’m really surprised by many answers here. Many seem to say full swing GW or even PW - how do you then end up with a WRX 160-170y 7i ?!

[Exactice808]

Thats NOT the REAL WRX 7iron thats why.

 

2 issues here.

 

1) Those supposed Golf WRX people you are talking about are playing with a 34* 7iron, NOT the current generation JACKED irons lofts of 30.5* or 28.5*

2) The Current Golf WRX 7iron with 34* is about 185Y, not no stinking 160, thats a joke.

all humor aside, distance means nothing 100 Yards in, if someone was hitting a soft 8iron to a 3ft circle all day at 100y I could care less if it was a printed 8 iron with 24* of loft... That just means they are making more bridies than I am 100Y and in.

 

 

 

[Buzzkill]

47 degree PW for me!

[Ger21]

Seems as if this thread brought out all the short hitting WRX members....

[Shakester]

For me, I'm usually hitting a 55 degrees sand wedge, even though 110 is pretty much the max distance for me with that club, so if I feel I'm not having a good ball striking day, which is often, then I would pick up 50 degrees gap wedge for anything 120-110.

[bogeypro]

52 or pitch, just depends

[mootrail]

Full 50° Gap, 100-110yd. Full 7 iron, 165-170yd, it's 31° & +1/2" for graphite. Got your numbers spot on.

For one thing, with a full 7, I play to a draw as my natural shot shape and lower lofted irons can be hotter by design. If I play to a cut which I do on occasion, I usually club down because I always loose more then I guess.

My Gap is a set wedge and still pretty hot. But I set up more square to hit the 110 and a bit open to hit the 100 mark. So a different mind set and swing parameters when I'm closing in on the green.

[Exactice808]

Nah just the honest members LOL!

[Lincoln_Arcadia]

56 or 50 depending upon the conditions.
