" TIME ZONE "
STRATEGY
FOR DISTANCE
CONTROL
WITH WEDGES

DAVID
SHERMAN

The length of your takeaway can determine the distance
your wedge shots will travel in the air. The " time zone "
strategy can help a player control his or her distances with
all their wedges.

At set up, think of the ball being at 6 o'clock, the
leading arm as the hour hand and your halfway
back position as nine o'clock.
During your backswing, stop your leading arm
before it gets to 9 o'clock. Note how far the ball
will carry.
Next, on this backswing, move your leading arm

2B to or slightly above the 9 o'clock position and

the ball should carry farther. Make a quick note
as to how far both shots travel in the air.

To complete both shots, be sure to use your
lower body and get to an almost full finish
position. Remember, these shots are not power
shots. A smooth and steady tempo is important.

Your complete finish ensures that the club head has
continued momentum through the impact area.
