Your Golf Wedge Set. Do you ever wonder if you have the proper golf wedge set to play your best? Is everyone always telling you to try different combinations of wedges? Well I hope these few tips on selecting the right wedges will put an end to all that. Wedge play is all about feel, which in essence is no different than rest of the game of golf. All the knowledge in the world about how to hit the golf shots won’t do any good unless you have the proper golf wedge set that is fitted correctly to your situation. Every player has to make a decision between gearing their wedges towards the fairways they normally play or the sand traps. We suggest going with the wedge that works best out of the sand. (Simply because it is harder shot for most amateurs to play and proper fitting will make this shot easier.) Ideally you want to find the best compromise that you can between the two, but there just isn’t one perfect wedge out there for everything. This is why you have a number of different types of clubs in your golf wedge set. The average amateur player should carry 4 different types of wedges; some can get away with 3 if they want. It all depends on the gap between each club. Go with the one you’re most comfortable with. We suggest the gap between each wedge be 4 degrees to keep a good level of consistency. (The bounce on these clubs can be tweaked by your local pro shop to fit you exactly.) So if a player has a pitching wedge (usually comes with set) at 48 degrees he or she might go with a 52-degree gap wedge, a 56-degree sand wedge and a 60-degree lob wedge. A tour player might go with lower gaps such as 2 degrees because of their ability to play a wider range of shots and higher skill level. All of these different wedges can be purchased individually. Your local pro shop or golf store can help you find what you want as they will have a huge selection to choose form. Everything about wedges comes down to feel so don’t be afraid to try a few different ones out until you get the ones you like the best. And remember, these are your scoring clubs so you have to practice them. This game gets a lot more fun when you have the proper golf wedge set!
