One Wedge In Your Bag Is Not Enough
The Wedge, nowadays most professional and amateur golfers carry more then one in their bags, some may carry as many as four. There are basically four types of this club available. They are used for different shots around the green, if you can master them you will see your handicap improve quite dramatically. It goes without saying that "practice makes perfect" The Pitching Wedge. This is used for shots from around 100 - 120 yds. from the green, the loft on this club is normally around 46 up to 51 degrees. The Sand Wedge As the name implies it is generally used to play shots from out of bunkers though it can also be used closer to the green. The loft on this club is steeper normally around 54 - 57 degrees. When you purchase a set of clubs these two w are included, the next two are a bit more specialised and require to be purchased separately. The Gap Wedge This one falls between the pitching and sand versions and generally has a loft of 51-53 degrees. The Lob Wedge This one is for all the budding Phil Micklesons out there, it allows you to play the "flop shot" and other finesse shots around the green. The loft is generally around 60 - 64 degrees. You should spend a lot of time practising with these clubs as they will save you lots of shots around the green.
