Trajectory Gate

For the most part, you'll want to launch your wedges at a launch angle in the upper 20's (below 30 is a good goal). You can use some simple math to help set up a training station. If you want the ball to launch at 30, then we can use the measurements of a 30-60-90 triangle to help with set up. With the 30-60-90 triangle, the base will be about 1.73 the height. So if you are using an alignment stick as the height, then you'll want to position the gate about 1.75 alignment sticks away from the golf ball. If you're checking your answer, then the top of the alignment stick should be about 2 alignment sticks away from the ball.
