Maybe its just me, but lately, with my "swing easy" approach, I have found that where I swing back to only about 3/4's of the way back, especially with my irons, I don't seem to lose any noticeable distance than if I was to swing all the way back.
And maybe its only lately as well, but I have often over the course of a round found myself somewhere around 90m - 100m away which means I'm between the two wedges I have, given I hit one comfortably 80m and the other 110m
Maybe it is just a confidence thing for me at the moment at that length. And a lack of confidence in trying to adjust the length I hit each club. For the minute I'll stick with the idea of trying to find a wedge I can comfortably hit 95m or so to fill the gap. Only carrying 13 clubs at the moment, so, I have room.
As always, thanks for your thoughts, they are appreciated.

Hi Scraggs,
I use a gap Wedge and find it very useful for the difference between a PW and SW, I also use it for most of my chip shots and when ever I want a nice feely short pitch (I think you know what I mean
)
Regarding the distances, Pelz suggests you do not wind up with any pronounced torque in a finesse wedge shot, just turn back and through with your body and keep the hands soft. Doing this does make a difference to the lengths when using differing backswings and the same tempo.
My recent use of the right hand drill has made such a difference to my wedge shots in terms of consistency and precision, it works in well with the Pelz method as both rely on the rotation of the shoulders and hips to generate the shot.
