What a Wedge Matrix Is

A chart of: wedge (PW/GW/SW/LW), swing length (9:00, 10:30, full), and carry distance (not total).

  2. Hit 5 balls per wedge per length

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wedge matrix?

A wedge matrix is a chart of stock carry distances for each wedge at specific swing lengths.

Carry. Total varies too much with conditions.

How many swing lengths should I use?

Start with 2–3 swing lengths (like 9:00, 10:30, and full) so it stays usable.
