# Pitching wedge distance at age 50

A golfer of 50 carries a pitching wedge about 99 yards on the age model, at 62 mph of club head speed, and totals 101 yards on a fairway landing. That is 7 yards behind the peak of 106 yards at 20, which the published fairway table prices at about 0.02 of a stroke per approach.

## Key figures

- A golfer of 50 carries a pitching wedge about 99 yards on the age model, at 62 mph, and totals 101 yards.
- That is 7 yards behind the peak, worth about 0.02 of a stroke per approach on the published fairway table.

## Scope

- The age model eases a peak club head speed by decade and swings the pitching wedge at the same fraction of its tour speed; the carry is the published tour anchor at that speed, and your own launch monitor carries replace it in the app.
