Golf Wedges
The short game of golf is about control, and the right golf wedges can play an important role in how successful you are at getting your golf ball onto the green. By hitting precision wedge shots, your putts can be shorter, leading to lower scores.

Although they are really a subclass of irons, some folks consider golf wedges a separate class of clubs. With their very high, short trajectory combined with the backspin they generate, golf wedges are more specialized than regular irons. Most golf wedges are used for a variety of high-accuracy shots when your ball is 100-120 yards or closer to the green. If a golfer finds his golf ball in a sand trap or needs to get his golf ball over obstructions such as trees, rocks or extreme terrain levels, golf wedges are the clubs he will reach for. With the new advancements made in the designs of golf wedges, most professional or amateur golfers carry three or four golf wedges in their golf bag, allowing them a selection of golf wedges for any situation that might arise.
Golf wedges are seldom numbered like other clubs. Golf wedges are usually identified not only by their loft which is somewhere between 45 to 68 degrees, but also their function. Today, golf wedges are made from many different materials and come in many different finishes. However most golf wedges are designed with steel shafts unless the golf wedges are part of a set of graphite clubs. A major design element found in golf wedges is the “bounce angle”. This angle is formed by the leading edge of the golf wedge’s club head and the ground. Golf wedges are designed so that in a difficult shot the club will not stop short in the rough or sand, but rather pass cleanly under the ball. Designers of golf wedges must take into consideration the sole of the club and the distance of the sole width between the leading and trailing edges known as “heel-toe camber”. Sand golf wedges have the greatest distance to help the club move smoothly through sand, while lob golf wedges have the least pronounced sole distance thus ensuring that the club gets under the golf ball on a flat lie. In addition, manufacturers of golf wedges create unique ways to impart precise spin on the ball helping it hold the green upon landing. You will find that IN THE HOLE!
