I used the partial swing and two of those guys hit their ball twice before it was my turn to putt.

4 out of 5 of us hit the green but the other 3 were no where close to the flag. I played with 4 long hitters and snickered to myself as they were hitting lob wedges almost full swings at this green. Today they had a temporary tee box with a mat to hit off at 93. On the 13th hole today, it's a par 3 that they are rebuilding the teeboxes and it will be about 200+ from the back tees. What is important is that you have a constant acceleration and a repeatable distance. I counted 13 times I needed a partial shot and averaged about 12 feet from the hole using this system and 4 clubs. It landed a couple of feet from the flag and rolled to about 12 feet. Since it had just rained, while we were on the previous hole, I didn't think the PW would run up to the second level if it was short but the GW would not roll far, so I hit a GW with the back swing stopping at the top of my head. For instance, I was 93 yards from the flag on 13 today and knew from my chart ear high 3/4 swing with the GW was 85 and with the PW was 100, My options were to go either above ear high with the GW or less with the PW. ie Clubhead traveling straight at target but clubface pointing 45 degrees to the right at impact will result in ball traveling 37.35 degrees to the right.

In the Putting Bible, Pelz explains how face angle at impact is more important than clubhead direction. These four swings with 12 clubs excluding your driver and putter will give you 48 distances on your chart.īut more importantly, you will also be able to base other distances off this. I own and have read Dave Pelzs Putting Bible and Short game Bible (twice) Both are excellent - but I have a question about each. I actually include this and practice it with all clubs because it is pretty handy to know that you can hit a waist high 3 wood and it will bump and run 160 yards, because the build golf course fairways really close to trees. It is something like this.įull swing is club head behind your head, I made one of these a few years ago and have posted it in many wedge threads here.
