Review Golf Wedges - Tips and Reviews on how
to improve your Golf Game
around the Green with
the perfect Wedge
The
Golf Wedges are the most efficient weapons to improve your short game.
Golfers of all Handicaps can reduce their handicaps significantly with the
best Wedges in their bag.
Did
you know that 70% of all Golf Shoots
are hit from 100 yards or less?
No doubt, the short game makes the
difference.
How
many Wegdes do you have in your bag?
Average players carry only two Wedges,
mostly a Pitching Wedge (PW) and a Sand Wedge (SW).
Tom Kite was the first
famous Pro on the Tour who had three Wedges in his bag in the 70s.

Type
of Wedges
There
are four type of Wedges:
Pitching
Wedge (PW):
Standard Wedge which is part of the most Iron Sets. Loft is in general in
the 46-49 degrees range. The Pitching Wedge is used for approaches from around
120 yards.
Gap
or Dual Wedge:
Gap or Dual Wedges run 50-53 degrees. These Wedges are normally not part of
standard Golf Iron sets. Gap Wedges fill the gap between the Sand and Pitching
Wedge and are used for distances of 80-90 yards.
Sand
Wedge (SW):
Sand wedges vary between 54-58 degrees and are used by most Golf players for
bunker shots, chips and approches from 70-80 yards.
Lob
Wedge (LW):
The Loft of Lob Wedge can be from 59-68 degree. It is mainly used if there
is not much Green to play with for lob or flop shots. Distance approx. 60 yards.
Bounce
Bounce represents the size and cutting swath of the sole flange.
Wedges with lower bounce should play better from firmer turf or sand;
For softer turf or deep sand Wedge with higher bounce should be preferred.
Review Golf Wedges Tip: If you carry both a Sand
Wedge and a Lob Wedge you can purchase different bounces (standard and low
bounce). You are prepared for
both firmer and softer turf conditions.
How
to choose your Wedges
First step - Determine how many Golf Wedges
you need
- Handicap 0-10: We recommend to carry four
wedges: Pitching, Gap, Sand and Lob Wedge.
- Handiap 11-25: To have three Wedges (Pitching,
Sand and Lob Wedge) in your bag will help you to reduce the score of your
short game.
- Handicap 26-Beginner: Go with a Pitching and
Sand Wedge. Both are normally part of standard Golf Iron sets.
Second Step - Determine the Lofts of your
Wedges
There are different ways to determine the Loft.
We recommend to use the following tip from Ping:
First decide how much loft you need for your most lofted wedge. Then,
subtract the loft of your 9 iron to get the total gap, and divide that number by
the total number of wedges to get the gap needed between each wedge:
A player who wants to carry three wedges, including
a 58° wedge, would have a total gap of 15½° (assuming that the Loft of the 9
Iron is 42.5°). Divided by three wedges, the gap between each wedge should be 5°
or 6° (the largest gap is usually between the two most lofted clubs). This
indicates that the player could choose the matching 47° Pitching Wedge and a 52°
Gap Wedge to complete the set.
Custom fitting
Standard Golf Clubs do not fit to all type of
Golfers - the results are poor shoots and injuries. That's the reason why custom
club fitting is so important today. That's Pinemeadow Golf's domain. They have built
an automated Custom Fitting Wizard that collects the required information and
quickly provides you with your custom fitting result. Lower your score easily
with the right club length and shafts.
 
Golf
Wedges Material
Golf
Wedges are often made of softer materials, such as chrome, aluminium bronze,
gunmetal, copper or beryllium. The softer materials increase feel and touch
around the green. Some are intended to rust over time, which gives a unique look
and increases the spin of your approaches.
Review
Golf Wedge Tip: We like the soft feel of beryllium and gunmetal Wedges. Give
them a try if you don't care about rusty Wedges in your bag.
