There are Legends and then there are legends.

I looked at the OPs stats, and frankly, I've no idea how he got to legend. Right across the board they are awful! Especially for someone lvl 100+ with good clubs.

The only advice I could give is to practice all shot types round the green.

Paying attention and remembering the results will also help.

It's your ball. Pitch shots need back spin. Buy the G13-S ball.

One thread is enough to get your answer. No need to post it twice.

We use the same wedges, except I have all 3.

I don't use a ball with much spin, either. I find that my wedges pitch to their advertised distance when the lie is 30/40 rough. Actually, that's about the only time I pitch.

A pitch will also go long if you're pitching with the wind, if the ball lands on a down grade, or if the landing spot is higher than your lie and you have accounted for the elevation.

Hitting a Pitch with my 64° wedge, rated for 14 yards, it goes 14 yards with a 100% swing and full backspin, assuming no wind and a flat landing spot that is at the same elevation as my lie.

With no backspin, a 100% swing, and assuming no wind and a flat landing spot that is at the same elevation as my lie..
