Same-Rhythm Wedge Ladder
Change backswing length, not rhythm, so short shots are less likely to decelerate.
TempoFollow-throughConsistency
Use this if
Your short shots slow down into the ball.
The fault
Making a big backswing on a short shot and then slowing down into the ball.
Steps
- Pick one wedge and one target
- Hit 3 balls with the hands going back to waist height
- Repeat with hands to chest height, then shoulder height
- Keep the same rhythm and a full finish every time
- Note where each length lands, then repeat with another wedge
Shorter swing, same beat
Reps
3 balls x 3 lengths per wedge; 2-4 wedges
Why it works
Keeping the same rhythm and a full finish on every wedge, and changing only how far the hands go back, removes the urge to steer or quit. Each length then tends to land in a repeatable window.
You need
Club, ball
At home
Note where each length lands at the range; the app does not measure how far the ball goes.
