Swing Length Training
Swing Length Training
If you've trained your tempo then the last remaining skill to master for distance control is the length of swing
Distance control with your wedges comes down to three main factors (assuming solid contact).
- Loft
- Speed
- Tempo
- Length of swing
Tempo and length of swing can be trained independently or together, but if you really want to dial in your distance you should work on getting comfortable with different length swings. Most golfers are more comfortable with one-length swing more than others and often struggle with shots that require a different length than that comfortable zone. By training your swing length, you can get more precise with adjusting your distance control.
