Using the clock face method can be a great way of making sure you hit more greens.

Golf Monthly demonstrates how to use the clock face method to establish consistent wedge swing lengths and build a precise yardage matrix. By matching lead arm backswing positions (such as 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00) with different clubs and grip heights, golfers can dial in distance control from 75 to 100 yards and hit more greens.

• Use your lead arm backswing position as a clock face (9:00, 10:00, 11:00) to standardize wedge swing lengths.
• Build a personalized yardage matrix by documenting average carry distances for each wedge position.
• Experiment with choking down on the grip to adjust trajectory and create minor yardage variations.
• Practice and record these benchmarks to hit approach shots closer and raise your greens in regulation percentage.
