You're new with those wedges, and you're already hitting them farther than me. 60-70 yards for my Sand wedge is good for me.

Enjoy it all...

It's actually a disadvantage to hit your wedges that exceptionally long, as that means for someone like cnixon, he has to play a touch shot from anyplace closer than 125 yards. The normal player can still make a full swing right down to about 60-80 yards, depending on what wedges he carries. For a wedge, full swing is still only about a 3/4 normal swing if you're doing it right.
