Dial wedge distances by swing length with one club

Build a distance-control system by starting with one club: find how far it goes with a full swing, then shorten the backswing to shoulder height, rib height, even hip height and note each distance. Repeat gradually across all your wedges so that when you measure a yardage you know exactly what to do.
