His wedge struggles are very overblown too. It’s discussed when he hits a bad one, but his proximity stats since the return have been much better (and ranks well), and plenty good enough to succeed anywhere. Plus he’s still dialing in distances, it’s not like this is a static thing.
As probably the biggest one length proponent on the forum, this is not meant to be a diss. It is going to be very interesting to see where Bryson goes with all of this and it is so freaking interesting to watch. Those who don’t like one length in wedges would say that you cannot get the proper angle of attack, shaft lean, etc. to really control spin the way you need to at that most elite level of play in order to score with the wedges, particularly when wedges so often require partial swings. Some think Bryson should go to more of a two length set. I am not advocating this position, but I see their point. I hope he can do it. It is one of the most interesting golf stories to me that I have ever followed.
