Today from the Forums: “What does everyone use for their 100-110 yard shot?”

Published

on

Today from the Forums we take a look at a discussion regarding shots from the 100-110 yard range. Forum member, TechBroker, is having an issue with the yardage, saying:

“Usually my 54 is my 100-110 shot, but recently I haven’t been getting that distance out of the club. Been working with laying off my PW but honestly when I do that it usually still goes 120, and I’m missing my marks.”

TechBroker has reached out to fellow members for advice and WRXers have been going in-depth on the topic, explaining what works best for them.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • 1putTUT: “My LW (58°) tops out at 100, so 105-115 is a SW (54°). 120 is tough because that’s a lot to take off my GW and a pretty big SW. I’ll pick one or the other depending on which yardage miss (long or short) works best for the pin location.”

    aenemated: “Usually just knock down my 52° wedge. Depends on the shot though – might be a full 56° depending on what I need to do or how my lie is.”

  • IamMarkMac: “I was hitting a full 50 or 54 wedge for 90-110. For the last four months though, for a basic 90-110 shot, I’ve found more success lobbing PW shots at the flag, trusting my feel to hunt a pin down versus yardages per wedge. Honestly, I don’t think I’m more successful with this method than using the 50-54, but I prefer the challenge and feel+flight of my half-PW versus the full wedges. My scores aren’t any worse, so I’m sticking with it. Anyway, once upon a time, I used a PW for everything inside of 125, so I should be fine.”
  • gwelfgulfer: “Depends on what bag and set up I have that day. Would be either a choke down 54* or a choke down 3/4 52*. Don’t normally like hitting fuller 58* shots vs flighting one in depending on wind and pin.”
  • rkillian: “My 54 wedge on a full shot is 110 when everything comes together. Taking some off my GW can do it, but I’m not as comfortable with that shot. I try and stick to full or half shots with my wedges as I can repertoire them pretty consistently. Distances for full/half respectively are roughly: 50* GW – 125/80, 54* SW – 110/65, 58* LW – 95/45”
  • rxk9fan: “I have been struggling with that distance as of late with temperatures in the upper 40’s. Normally, 50 degree is my standard 100 yards if I don’t get too steep. 46 degrees is my 115 in a standard CB or blade. 105 to 110 has been killing me. Ready for some warmer temps and see if my distances normalize along with some touch with 3/4 wedges to max and slightly closed wedges if I need a little extra. FWIW: 61 years old and Driver SS 99 and change.”

    Shanks outnumbering likes 4:1 but no comments. I’ll be the first to say it. The people on this website are largely delusional about their skill set even when they wear gps watches!

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
