I spent years chasing perfect swing mechanics.
Tried every tip. Saved every post. Took lesson after lesson.
Still — I’d step up to a wedge shot inside 100 yards and freeze.
The problem wasn’t my swing.
The problem was the thinking.
What changed everything? I stopped trying to fix my mechanics — and started building Feel.
That’s the moment my short game came to life.
Here’s the story of how I stopped overthinking and finally discovered my distance control through the Fairway Wedge System.
How to Stop Overthinking Your Wedge Swing:
- Build a consistent pre-shot routine you can trust
- Use stock swing patterns to simplify your motion
- Train distance control at home before stepping on the range
- Journal what works, adjust what doesn’t
- Trust Feel over mechanics
🧠 The Trap: When Fixing Hurts More Than It Helps
Over the years, I stacked up dozens of swing thoughts — “set the wrist early,” “quiet the lower body,” “hold the finish.”
But in the heat of a round, that mental clutter didn’t help. It paralyzed me.
Every wedge shot felt like a test. And the more I thought about my mechanics, the worse my contact became.
I didn’t need more information.
I needed a new approach.
🛠️ The Shift: From Fixing to Feeling
The real breakthrough happened when I began training with blackout principles — not fixing swing flaws, but developing feel.
I started with stock wedge drills inside 100 yards.
I dropped the mechanical thoughts.
And for the first time, I could feel distance — not guess it.
The moment I began striking wedges without conscious thought, my confidence returned.
📓 The Fairway Wedge System: Where Feel Begins

- ✅ Build a consistent pre-shot routine

And it all starts with letting go of thoughts — and training for trust.

🔁 The Role of the Journal
After each session, I’d write down:
- What went right
- What broke down
- What I’d focus on next time
This habit built my awareness — and gave my training direction.
The Journal helped turn practice into progress.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
Overthinking your swing usually means focusing on too many mechanical cues during your motion. This mental clutter can lead to hesitation, poor contact, and loss of confidence. Training for feel and building a repeatable pre-shot routine helps clear your mind so you can swing freely.
Start with three stock wedge swings — pitch, half, and ¾ — and measure your average carry distances. Then, work to hit those distances without technical thoughts, focusing only on your feel and target. That’s the foundation of the Fairway Wedge System.
The Fairway Wedge System is a method designed to help golfers build feel and consistency inside 100 yards. It uses a series of stock swing drills, a pre-shot routine, and a journaling process to create repeatable results — without relying on swing thoughts.
Not at all. In fact, this system was designed for experienced players who’ve spent years chasing tips and tweaks — but still lack consistency with wedges. Whether you’re a 5 or 15 handicap, learning to trust your feel can change your scoring game.
The Blackout Journal gives you a space to reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and what to practice next. It sharpens your awareness and creates a feedback loop that makes every session more intentional — and more productive.
