Inside 100 Yards: The System That Separates Amateurs from Pros
In this Porzak Golf instructional video, the 'Find Your 50' system is introduced as a method for mastering wedge distance control within 100 yards. By treating the body as 'rungs on a ladder'—associating the hands at the pocket, belly button, or sternum with specific yardages—golfers can eliminate guesswork. The lesson also covers critical adjustments for stance width and mental cues to prevent over-swinging and deceleration on short shots.
Associate your hand height with specific yardages: Pocket = 30 yards, Belly Button = 50 yards, Sternum = 60 yards.
Practice the 'Stop a Frame Early' rule: aim to stop your hands at the hip to actually have them stop at the pocket due to momentum.
Adjust stance width based on shot length; use a narrower stance for 30-yard shots and widen it as you approach 100 yards.
Avoid the 'stall and decelerate' mistake by keeping your body moving through the ball on short, tight-lie shots.
Dial in your 50-yard shot first as a baseline to help calculate longer and shorter wedge shots.
