DISTANCE TOOLS
Wedge Distance Matrix — Record Your Half, Three-Quarter and Full Swings
Record the carry you observe for each wedge at your own half, three-quarter and full swings. Add lofts and practice notes if useful, leave unknown cells blank, and save a phone image or printable card. No swing-speed measurement or account is needed.
Before you start
Go to the tool ↓You’ll need: Your wedge names and any carry distances you have observed. Loft, practice date and notes are optional. No swing-speed measurement is needed.
- Name the wedges you use and optionally enter their lofts. Choose yards or metres.
- Enter only carry distances you have observed for your half, three-quarter and full swings. Unknown cells stay blank.
- Save on this device, download a PNG or print the card. Use JSON export and import to move editable data yourself.
Build your short-game carry card
Start with one distance you have measured. Leave the others blank. “Half” and “three-quarter” describe your own repeatable swings; we never calculate them as percentages of a full shot.

How do I build a wedge distance matrix?
Use repeatable swings, not a percentage formula
Give each swing length a meaning you can repeat. A half swing does not guarantee half of your full-swing distance. This tool records separate observations and never fills an unknown distance from another cell.
Measure carry with comparable shots
Use a practice area where you can identify first landing, or a launch monitor whose carry definition you understand. Repeat the shot with the same ball type and comparable conditions. Record a representative carry, then use the notes to describe your swing reference, strike variation and conditions. Do not silently turn a total-distance reading into carry.
A simple example to enter
For an example 54-degree wedge, enter 60 yards for Half, 80 for Three-quarter and 100 for Full. Those are three separate example observations, not targets, golfer averages or a formula. In metres the same values are 54.864, 73.152 and 91.44; displayed inputs round to two decimals while the tool retains the underlying distances until you edit them.
Blank is a useful answer
If you have not measured a particular shot, leave it blank. A dash on the card means not recorded. No missing value is treated as zero, and an unfamiliar or inconsistent swing is something to practice rather than a gap for the calculator to guess.
Keep a phone card and a recoverable backup
Choose Save on this device to keep your editor in this browser. Download a PNG for a quick reference or print on Letter or A4 paper. To move editable measurements, export JSON, transfer the file yourself, then import and review it on the other device. Loading an import does not automatically overwrite the locally saved card.
Use it offline after preparation
Open the tools online first and wait for the footer to say Tools ready offline. Then the cached tools under /en/ can open without a connection. Browser storage can be cleared; keep a separate exported file or image. There is no automatic account sync, GPS measurement or cloud backup.
