Golf Wedges - Page 125

The four main types of golf wedges are:

• Pitching Wedge (PW): This is the most common wedge, usually having a loft between 44° to 48°. It's used for approach shots from the fairway, typically for distances ranging from 100 to 130 yards, depending on the golfer's skill level.
• Sand Wedge (SW): With a loft typically between 54° and 58°, the sand wedge is designed for bunker shots and getting out of soft sand. It's also useful for approach shots from the rough or for short chips around the green.
• Lob Wedge (LW): A lob wedge has a loft between 58° and 64°. It is used for high, soft shots that land quickly on the green. It's particularly useful for short, high shots over obstacles like bunkers or water.
• Gap Wedge (GW): The gap wedge fills the loft gap between the pitching wedge and sand wedge, usually with a loft of 50° to 54°. It's often used for approach shots from about 80 to 110 yards, helping golfers have more control over their short game.

These wedges are essential for handling various short-game shots, from chipping and pitching to sand and lob shots. Each one serves a different purpose depending on the distance, lie, and conditions.

Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying a used wedge, here's what to look for:

✔️ There are no cracks in the shaft.
✔️ There are no cracks in the club head.
✔️ There are no dents on the sole of the club.
✔️ The hosel is not loose, and the head does not rotate.
