Nothing feels better than hitting a wedge shot that hops once, grabs, and stops next to the flag. That kind of control can turn tough par saves into tap-ins. But for most golfers, spin feels random or impossible—especially on pitch shots from 30 to 60 yards. The ball hits and rolls out way past the…
The 50-yard pitch shot is one of the most awkward in golf. It’s too far for a chip and too short for a full swing. Most golfers default to their favorite wedge without much thought. But choosing the right club for the situation can be the difference between a tap-in par and scrambling to save…
From 20 to 60 yards out, you’re not trying to bomb the ball—you’re trying to finesse it. These pitch shots are about precision, not power. Yet most golfers hit them with guesswork, not a plan. That leads to chunked shots, bladed wedges, and too many missed up-and-down opportunities. If you want to get the ball…
Ever hit what felt like the perfect swing—only to chunk the ball a few feet or blade it over the green? You’re not alone. Most golfers make pitching harder than it has to be. The real problem isn’t your swing speed or your wedge. It’s that you’re not using the bounce on your club correctly….
There’s nothing more frustrating than hitting a beautiful drive and approach, only to chunk or blade a short pitch and throw away your chance at par. These pitch shots—from 20 to 60 yards—should be your scoring bread and butter. But for many golfers, they’re a constant source of stress. The good news? If you’re chunking…
The scoring zone—20 to 60 yards—is where rounds are saved or lost. These aren’t full swings, and they’re not chips either. Too many golfers guess their way through these shots, relying on feel alone. That leads to inconsistent distance control and blown opportunities to get up-and-down. If you want to shoot lower scores, you need…
Pitching vs. Chipping: What Shot to Hit from 20 Yards? The 20-yard shot is one of the most misunderstood in golf. Many players freeze up, unsure whether to chip it low or pitch it high. That indecision usually leads to poor contact or picking the wrong shot altogether. And when you guess instead of assess,…
One of the most frustrating positions in golf is standing 30 yards from the green with no confidence in your ability to get the ball close. It’s not quite a full swing, yet it’s not a short chip either. That in-between distance exposes flaws in a golfer’s technique and decision-making. If you blade it, the…
The explosive shots from the tee or the fairway surely look nice, right? But is hitting as hard as you can the goal of golf? Definitely not! If you’ve ever watched professional golf, the PGA Tour, for example, you must’ve seen how amazing the players’ distance control is. So, how do they control their distance?…
Most of the golf shots you’ll make during a typical round of play are within 100 yards of the green. Wedges are good for shots within this range. Regardless of your level, good wedge play can significantly lower your scores, help you save pars, and reduce double bogeys. Wedge play is like an insurance policy…
