How to Stop Missing Greens from 50–130 Yards (TrackMan Wedge Training System)

Missing greens from only 50–130 yards is one of the most frustrating patterns in golf.

You did the hard work — you hit a good tee shot, you’re in scoring position — but instead of a birdie putt, you’re scrambling for bogey.

At Texas Wedge, we see this every single day. And here’s the good news:

You don’t need a brand-new swing. You just need a better system.

This guide shows you how to train your wedge game using TrackMan’s Performance Center and the two swing adjustments that instantly make wedges more consistent.

1. Change Your Mindset: Stop Aiming at Flags

Great wedge players aren’t obsessed with the pin — they’re obsessed with the green.

You must give yourself permission to aim safer, avoid trouble, and build a repeatable pattern that holds up under pressure.

2. Use TrackMan’s Performance Center (The Right Way)

Set your session to 50–140 yards, choose Random Pins, and set the handicap target to 15.

Why 15?
Because it gives you a realistic target window that teaches better decision-making.

This is where you learn:

• How to choose safer targets

• How to adjust for bunkers, slopes, and narrow greens

• Why your “bad swings” should still hit the green

• How to build a wedge pattern that protects your score

3. Technical Fix #1: Stop Making Full Swings with Wedges

Full swings send the ball too high and make distance control nearly impossible.

Instead:
Club up → Make a half or three-quarter swing → Control the flight.

You instantly get:

• Tighter proximity

• More green-holding shots

• More predictable contact

4. Technical Fix #2: Reduce Wrist Hinge & Turn Your Body More

Too much wrist action causes chunks, skulls, and inconsistent launch.

You need:

• Wider takeaway

• Less hinge

• More body rotation

• A controlled, lower launch

This makes your wedges repeatable — even on off-center hits.

Final Thoughts

If you focus on smart targets, realistic practice, and simpler swing mechanics, your wedge game can transform quickly. Most golfers don’t need a “perfect swing”… they just need a system that protects them from big mistakes.
