stevel1017 is on a distinguished road
the clock system is where you picture your hands on a clock. At address you are at 6 o'clock. when you swing back when your left forearm (if you are right handed) is parallel to the ground your hands would be at 9 o'clock. Then swing forward as normal. It doesnt matter if your hands are exactly at 9, as long as you feel it is 9 o'clock.
now with my 56 degree wedge I hit it about 90 yards full shot, at 9 I hit it 60. If I choke up about 1 inch, then I hit it full about 85 yrds and at 9 o'clock about 55 yards. Choke up 2 inches and I hit the it 80 yards full and 50 at 9 o'clock. Add 7:30 (o'clock) and you have 6 more different yardages. Do this with your pitching wedge and 9 iron and 60 degree (if you have one). and you have a number of yardages you can rely on. Of course practice on the range to determine your actual yardages.
