Golf WedgesGolf WedgesGolf wedges are one of the most important golf equipment items.Golf Wedges are vital to a golf game as almost three quarters of golf shots are taken from 120 yards and in. Golf wedges can create birdies from fairways or save pars around the greens, but using the wrong type of golf wedge can also cause huge problems for golfers who struggle inside 120 yards.Wedges are as technologically advanced as gold drivers and putters with differen wedges having differen specifications to suit different parts of the golf game. Golf wedges can be divided into four main types of wedge: Pitching Golf Wedges - Within the golf equipment range the pitching golf wedge has a loft of 47-50 degrees and is primarily used for fuller shots into greens and some longer chip shots. Using a strong Pitching Wedge and lower lofted wedge creates a need for a Gap Wedge. Gap Golf Wedges - this golf wedge fills the gap between the Pitching Wedge and the Sand Wedge. With a loft between 51 and 55 degrees they offer slightly more opportunities and variations, than the Pitching Wedge, from the fairway and around the green. Sand Golf Wedges - the sand wedge has a loft of around 56 degrees and is primarily used for getting out of greenside bunkers and provides more variation in approach shots. Lob Golf Wedges - The Lob Wedge is a large loft around 60 degrees to offer height in pitch and chip shots. This wedge is often used in the short game rather than in the approach it can assist shots from the deep rough and sand more than other wedges with less loft. |
