Golf Clubs - Wedges
Wedges are considered as part of the short
game clubs . This its the area less than 100 yards
from the pin. This short distance needs to be
played using special clubs designed to shoot the ball
high into the air so it stops where it lands.
What Is A Wedge Used For
 Wedges
are mainly used for high trajectory shots where
the ball needs to stop dead where it lands. If the ball
continues to roll after landing it's very likely to
roll past the pin or worse, off the back of the green.
These high lift clubs are designed to give the ball
a higher arc after it's been struck allowing it to fall
straight down instead of rolling forward. Here are the
following categories of wedges available:
- Pitching Wedge - 46 and 50 degrees
- Gap Wedge - 51 and 54 degrees
- Sand Wedge - 55 and 59 degrees
- Lob Wedge - 60 and 64 degrees
How Will A Wedge Help My Golf Game
More than 50% of all golf shots are hit from less than
100 yards away from the pin. If hitting half of your
shots was pretty easy the
game of golf would be pretty enjoyable.
Learning how to hit wedge shots is a must for
all amateur golfers. Since more than 50 percent of your
time on the golf course is spent chipping and using
wedges it only makes sense to spend some time practicing
your wedge shots.
