Director of Instruction Kyle Morris shows you how to hit a low spinning distance wedge from 40-120 yards.
Hitting wedges low with lots of spin is the optimal way to control your distance.
Learn how to practically practice this in the video.

I like this tip and can’t wait to try it out. Can you provide a little more info on the noodle; the angle and the height of the noodle. It appeared to be at about your right knee height? and the angle looked like about 30 degrees or so. Am I close?
thanks

Thanks for watching. Yes it is about a foot off the ground. You want to set it so that the noodle is touching the top of the shaft with about 4 inches of noodle to the left of the shaft (for a right handed golfer). Move Away from the noodle so you have about two to three fingers between shaft and noodle and then take big step IN A STRAIGHT LINE towards flag. Put tee in the ground and start your block practice. This drill is also great for driver to get an in to out path and positive attack angle with the driver.
Looking at Zach’s wedge data I see four different distances with his 60. Do you know if he uses the “clock” method for his distance control and if so does he judge his backswing length by his arm or hand position?
Thanks,
Wedgy
From a physics standpoint taught in high school a projectile goes its maximum distance at a 45 degree launch angle assuming the same exit velocity for an object like a cannon ball. Golf balls are light weight affected by air a lot and have a lot of backspin. But distance for golf is definitely easier to control with a lower launch.
