How do you practice your wedge distances? Say from full pw down to 40 yards? And how precise do you practice to? The range is not great for this, thinking maybe a sim.

This is the way, and I need to do more of it.Wedge Matrix or Skills Assessment on SkyTrak+. So good for that process.
I spend some time monthly on my wedge. Both full, and partial swings. Im fortunate to have a really nice short game practice area just few minutes from my home. I can hit balls at 10 yard diameter practice greens, and record my carry yardages as needed.How do you practice your wedge distances? Say from full pw down to 40 yards?

Just the ranges around here don’t have many markers to laser. I would like to practice say 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 one day and 45, 55, 65, 75, 85 another . I really want to dial distances this year.Why can you not use the range? If I didn't practice there I wouldn't know where to go.
I don't think it has to be. You're just learning. I don't think you change the swing to hit numbers, but rather observe the numbers you're getting from certain swings. My instructor likes to talk more about 50% swing and 75% swing instead of "1/2" swing. The thought being it's more about intent than hitting a position.This is a huge question of mine. I too wonder is a sim is a better way to practice this. But I’m such a feel player that may be hard at first.
I have done this a lot with owning my Skytrak and has helped with getting comfortable with distances under 50 yards. Visually things can be be deceiving on the course and you have 35 yards to the front of the green. I then know that my minimum swing is 35 yards carry and go from there. For me im not a huge feel player so this has allowed me to find tune the clock system.Wedge Matrix or Skills Assessment on SkyTrak+. So good for that process.
I think the mental switch to learn partial swings would be a big benefit in the long run.I don't think it has to be. You're just learning.
