Three-Clock Wedge Matrix

20+ min Solo Range, Alignment Sticks, Notebook
Setup
On the range, pick 3 wedges. Set an alignment stick for target line and one for ball position reference.
Drill Instructions
Hit 6 balls per wedge at ‘8 o’clock’, ‘9 o’clock’, and ‘10 o’clock’ backswing lengths, keeping tempo constant. Record average carry for each. Build a matrix chart in your notebook to reference on course.
Goal
Capture a repeatable carry within ±3 yards for each cell of the matrix.
Make It Easier
Start with two wedges and two swing lengths.
Coach Tip
Use a metronome feel (e.g., 2:1) so changes are length, not speed.
Make It Harder
Add wind-adjusted columns and a 7:00 finesse length.
Avoid
Hitting harder on longer backswings; let length produce distance.
