The right Golf Wedges
can improve your Score

If you can hit the ball with golf wedges to within one putt range, you have a great chance for a par score. Most golf instructors will tell you that the short game from about 100 yards of the hole is important if you want to lower your score.



The most common wedges are the pitching wedge, the sand wedge and the lob wedge. For recreational players, a pitching and sand wedge is sufficient. For more advanced golfers, a lob wedge or wedge with a loft that suits the player more, might be beneficial.

Many companies carry various wedge combinations, where you can choose between different materials, styles and finishes. If you are an advanced player, a proper wedge selection can be beneficial to your game. In some cases, you might want to carry 3 wedges, instead of the normal pitching and sand wedge.

The difference between a pitching and sand wedge is the design of the sole. The bottom of the sand wedge is designed to glide through the sand, while the pitching wedge's sole is designed to dig into it.
