Lag pressure is so, so, so important with wedge shots. Forget changing your backstroke length (or your follow-though length, as was recently expoused on The Golf Channel by someone who should know better!) and instead focus on lag pressure.

I'll come back to a great analogy that Lynn once used: an outfielder in baseball. He doesn't try to vary the length of his "backstroke" motion when he throws to second base versus to home plate. Instead, his Computer instantly adjusts and exerts the correct amount of force onto the baseball to make it travel a given distance. The same applies to golf - change lag pressure to change the distance you hit it. After enough practice, it'll become second nature. You see the shot and instantly dial in the amount of pressure you need to hit it that distance.

Birdie_man...I know you know about clearkeys. Sometime, try going to the course and going on full automatic with your clearkey whenever you have a wedge shot inside of 100 yards. Trust me, you'll be extremely surprised at how well your Computer automatically makes you hit the ball more or less the correct distance!
