Wedge Distance Chart

Full-swing yardages aren't enough inside 110 yards — you need to know how far each wedge carries at shorter swing lengths too. Enter a few carries at each length and this builds your wedge distance chart, plus a distance ladder that flags overlaps and holes in your scoring-zone coverage. Everything stays in your browser.

Hit each swing length and enter the carries. Control the length of the swing, not how hard you hit — a repeatable length gives a repeatable number. Leave out obvious mishits. Fill only the lengths you use.

No wedges entered yet. Pick a wedge above, type in your carries for each swing length, and save it.

How to use it

Controlling distance by swing length — how far back your lead arm travels — is more repeatable than swinging softer or harder at the same length, which is why the lengths here are Full, Three Quarters (lead arm to shoulder), and Half (lead arm parallel to the ground). Keep the same tempo at every length and accelerate through the ball; a partial swing that decelerates into impact ruins both distance and spin.

The distance ladder is the payoff: laid out shortest to longest, it shows whether your scoring-zone coverage has even gaps or a hole where no comfortable shot lives. If two shots overlap, one is redundant; if there's a wide gap, that's a yardage you'll have to force or finesse until you build a swing for it.

Gear to measure your own numbers

A launch monitor gives you carry numbers on the range or in a simulator; a rangefinder gives you exact distances on the course.
