Many golfers find it difficult to control the distance of their wedge play. You see too many golfers playing a pitch not knowing what length of swing to make. You can imagine playing from 60 yards with water short of the green and bunkers at the back of the green, not the easiest shot to play. The key is to practice making the same length backswing as your follow through. Make some practice swings and try to make the same length backswing as your follow through, this will allow you to keep the pace of your swing the same and control the distance by its length. For shorter shots swing slightly short back and through. I always imagine when playing with my pitching wedge the club starting at 6 o´clock, from 60 yards i try to swing back to 10 o´clock and finish at 2 o´clock on my follow through turning my body to the target. Give this a try when you get a chance to practice, you will start to see an improvement in your distance control and strike.
