Right Handed Wedges
A wedge is a type of golf club designed for short-distance shots around the green and from various lies, including sand bunkers. Wedges are characterized by their high loft, which helps golfers achieve a steep trajectory and control the distance of their shots with precision.
There are several types of wedges commonly found in golfers' bags:
-
Pitching Wedge (PW): The pitching wedge is typically included in iron sets and has the lowest loft among wedges, usually around 45 to 48 degrees. It is primarily used for approach shots from the fairway or rough, offering a balance of distance and control.
-
Gap Wedge (GW): Also known as an approach wedge or utility wedge, the gap wedge fills the gap in loft between the pitching wedge and the sand wedge. It usually has a loft between 50 and 54 degrees and is used for shots that require more loft and spin than a pitching wedge but less than a sand wedge.
-
Sand Wedge (SW): The sand wedge is designed specifically for shots out of sand bunkers and other soft lies. It has a higher loft, typically between 54 and 58 degrees, and a wide sole that helps prevent the club from digging into the sand. Sand wedges are also useful for high, soft-landing shots around the green.
-
Lob Wedge (LW): The lob wedge has the highest loft among wedges, usually ranging from 58 to 64 degrees or more. It is used for short, high shots that require a steep trajectory and minimal roll, such as shots over hazards or to tight pin positions on the green.
Wedges feature specialized clubhead designs, including wider soles and increased bounce angles, to help golfers achieve optimal performance from various lies and turf conditions. They are essential tools for golfers looking to improve their short game and scoring around the green.
