According to Dave Pelz, who is at least researched based but doesn't understand how the wrists work, the eight most common shots are a 10 yard chip from the fringe/fairway, 15-yard pitch from the rough, 20-yard pitch from the rough, a 15-yard lob shot, 30 and 50-yard pitch shots and 8 and 15-yard bunker shot.
This was compiled after watching a year's worth of Tour events.
PM me and I'll send you my more info.

Thanks,
Aaron

be able to draw/fade your wedge approaches if needed

be able to hit the low brake skidding wedge into a back pin location or stiff head wind.

be able to hit about 3 or 4 different clubs 100 yards.

Master the bread and butter TGM pitch shot with a 52 degree wedge (between pitch and sand wedge). It's a mid-trajectory, with mid-high spin type of shot. You can use it from 20-60, in the rough, out the bunker, almost anywhere. And all the fancy stuff (e.g. lob shot, opening clubface, etc.) will be a piece of cake once you've mastered this.

Is the "bread and butter TGM pitch" and aquired motion type action swinging to right arm parallel to ground on the backswing to both arms straight on the follow through?

Yes it is.
Once you master that, you can make it shorter/longer is easy.

Putts from 8 ft and in

Putts from 8 ft and in

I say concentrate on putts from 3 ft in and putts from 35+ ft out. Spend 50/50 of your time on each. Where are you vj?

Hey Tongzilla,

Thanks,

Aaron
