Pitching distance control
1
Pitching can be split into two elements. First, you have your distance wedges, which are full wedge shots. Then, there are your finesse wedges, and it is this type of shot that most players find tougher to execute and hit the right yardage on a consistent basis.

A gap fitting, where a launch monitor will tell you how far you hit your wedges, will help to ensure that the distances between your pitching, gap, sand and lob wedges (if you carry one) are nicely staggered. This should reduce the number of times you find yourself facing fiddly three-quarter shots.

Many golfers struggle with finesse wedge shots as they struggle to control backswing in relation to distance. Set-up is often the root cause, with the stance too wide and the hands too far up the grip, as for a full swing. This often then leads to them creating too long a backswing for the shot in hand.
