Develop the ability to hit high, soft bunker shots with minimal rollout. Part of Bunkers — Distance Control training — score against par, track every attempt in the app, and see real improvement.
Why this drill
Knowing exactly how far you carry a 9-iron, 7-iron, or any wedge — and being able to reproduce it — is what turns good contact into lower scores. Distance control drills train you to deliver repeatable swing output so you can commit confidently to every club choice and attack pins rather than just finding the green.

FAQ
Consistent distance starts with consistent contact and a repeatable swing. Distance control drills like Swing Output Ladder and Distance Windows train you to deliver the same tempo and the same strike so your carry distances become predictable. Track your carries and score against par so you know your numbers.
Wedge distance control comes from learning your carry distances at different swing lengths — typically 50%, 75%, and 100% swings. Distance control drills with defined targets and scoring teach you to produce specific carries on demand. Practice with a par to beat so every session has a clear goal.
