That part is not complicated. Hit one wedge noticeably higher than the next and, even with a decent strike, you probably are not getting exactly the same carry from both.
Where seasoned players get into trouble is what happens next.
They decide they need to control trajectory, and suddenly a simple wedge shot comes with six new instructions. Ball back. Hands forward. Hold the finish down. More weight left. Keep the face from doing this. Make sure the chest does that.
I have been there.
Pretty soon you are standing over a 70-yard wedge thinking about everything except the 70-yard wedge.
There is a cleaner way to work on ball flight:
Give the ball a window.
Let the window be the instruction.
That is what this session is about. We are not trying to manufacture a textbook launch angle or build one universal wedge shot that somehow works for every player, every club, and every distance. We are going to find the flight your stock wedge already wants to produce, make that picture visible, and then see whether you can keep your carry reasonably predictable inside it.
That last part matters.
A pretty flight that misses the carry by 12 yards is not much use. Before you build anything, hit three normal stock wedges.
Do not change your motion. Just watch them, then describe the natural flight in one sentence. Maybe yours starts fairly low and climbs. Maybe it launches a little higher and stays there. Maybe the window is flatter than you thought.
It does not matter yet.
Just see what you actually have. If those three balls seem to travel through roughly the same part of the sky, you already have the beginning of a launch window.
The question is whether you can trust it when the distance starts changing.
