00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This drill is finesse wedge stock distances.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So it's always helpful when you're trying to build touch to build a couple of references.

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
We do that in the wedges where you're working on, you know, whether it's 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
swings and how far they go.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
With your full swing, you dial in your full swing distance and then you make references

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
off that.

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
With putting, I like to do the same thing.

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
So it only makes sense that we would do something similar with finesse wedges.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:37,000
So there's a couple different, I put the finesse wedge in the less than 40 yard category.

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
And so it's very helpful to have a stock kind of more short shot where it's 7 to 10 yard

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
somewhere in that zone.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
And then having more of a medium length pitch of about 20 yards.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
And then ultimately maybe a 30 yarder.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
One of the common datasets that a buddy might collect on Torpros is 30 yard shots.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And if you look at them, it's eerily similar how all of them take their swing for their

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
30 yard shot back to about belly button height with the club somewhere up around 40 or even

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
close to vertical.

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
So for their 30 yard shots, it's got to look kind of like that.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Well I imagine if we had the data we'd started to see some similarities for even the shorter

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
shots.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
I like to calibrate one where it's just below the corner.

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
I talk about the corner as being one of the hard spots.

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
So just below the corner.

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And then I like to do one that's just above the corner.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
And those typically coincide with somewhere just less than 10 yards, maybe about 7 and

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
somewhere around 20 yards.

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And if I practice those two distances or those two swings, then I'm typically going to have

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
an easier time adjusting my distance on the course.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Because I have this stock shot that I can either take less loft and make it run.

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
I can add more loft to take away some distance.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
But I have this basic shot that I can adjust rather than having to kind of invent a

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
brand new shot for every single shot that I'm facing.

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
So we'll go through just a little session where we'll try to hit.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
We can either do a handful going at the first one and then a handful going at the second

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
or we can do ladder is going back and forth and then trying to ultimately fill in the

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
gaps, playing a little leap frog game.

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
So variety of ways you could do it, but I would start with at least two base lines inside

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000
of 30 yards.

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000
I highly recommend somewhere in the 7 to 10 yards and somewhere around 20 yards as good

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
base lines.

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Okay, so we'll do just short of the corner.

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
We're just going to pay attention to about how far.

00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:59,000
So that's landing pretty close to my 8.9 yard carry distance.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
So that was two pretty close and you can see that those are rolling within a yard or so

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
of each other.

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
So that would be one base line.

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Next one we'll do just past the corner.

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And for some people just past the corner as a little bit harder and for other people

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:27,000
it's just short of the corner as a little bit harder.

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
So that was good.

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:39,000
That was pretty close to the trajectory in distance that I wanted.

00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Went the right distance.

00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Not quite the trajectory that I wanted.

00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000
So now I could experiment with let's say halfway in between which would be either

00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:56,000
I'm going to do the short shot and add a little bit more speed to it or I could do just

00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
short of the long shot where I could do the long shot a little bit slower.

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
So those were two different ways, two different kind of trajectories for getting to let's

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
say a 15-pace carry distance.

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
But it was easier for me to do that because I had the reference of my short shot in my

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
long shot to go off of.

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
So if you don't have any references you're going to have a hard time getting really

00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
precise with your carry distance control.

00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
So I highly recommend calibrating a few and then again playing either leap frog filling

00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000
in the gaps or just learning how to adjust those carry distance as four specific adjustments

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
like taking off five yards, adding five yards, etc.

00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Now we'll do the tough one for me which is the really short one.

00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Good.
