Please don't forget about the clubs you will swing the most times during a round - your wedges - they deserve attention!

The scoop on wedges.  Unfortunately in the golf industry, when you purchase a set of irons they usually include 3-PW (pitching wedge), in some rare instances they might also include a SW (sand wedge).  In the good old days, a 3-PW set would have pretty much did the trick for you - all clubs in the set had a 4° differential between the lofts from club to club.  The golf industry has slowly been sneaking back the lofts of each club in the set (to make them "longer" - yeah it feels good to smack a 7-iron 170 yards, but really it's more like hitting a 6 or 5 iron from yester-year).  Years ago, the PW (Pitching Wedge) had a loft of about 52° - now it is not uncommon to see a PW with a loft of 44 - 46° (I've even seen some of 'em down at 43°)........ TOO DAMN STRONG!  Today's PW is pretty much the equivalent of yester-year's 8 or 9-iron - yup, it's true - and today's 3-iron is equivalent to yester-year's 2-iron.

Due to the "vanishing loft" by the OEM's, golfers realized that there was a fairly large "gap" between the PW and the SW (like about a 10° or 12° "gap" - pretty substantial).  The golf industry introduced the answer to the "gap" - that's where the GW (or Gap Wedge) came into the picture.  The GW is usually around 52° and fills the large void that exists between today's PW and SW.  Many players also carry a more lofted wedge than the SW, it is called a Lob Wedge (LW) and is usually around 60° of loft.  Some even carry an extra-lofted wedge (XW) which is 64°.  I carry 4 wedges in my bag, a PW (48°), GW (52°), SW (56°), and an LW (60°).  If you're serious about scoring better in the game of golf, you absolutely NEED to have more than just a PW in your bag.  As mentioned elsewhere on this site, 60-70% of your strokes in a round of golf will come from 100 yards and closer to the hole.  Having more of these "scoring" clubs in your bag (and using them properly) will give you more useable shots within the "scoring range" (100-ish yards and in).  The result of this will help to reduce the number of shots that occur within this "scoring" range - which can have a rather large impact on your scoring.  If you need proof, I strongly suggest you read the book called "Dave Pelz' Short Game Bible".  Mr. Pelz is a former NASA scientist, he takes a very scientific approach to the short game, and can prove not only the direct relationship between the short game and your scores, but also how to smarten your short game up.  Of course, practice will be involved if you want to improve, but make sure it is practice with purpose - don't just go out there and practice your mistakes.  You have to know exactly WHAT to practice, HOW to practice, and how to get direct real-time feedback from your practice.  Your potential to score well in the game of golf is DIRECTLY related to the state of your short game.  If you don't believe me, the next time you're out for a round, count how many shots you take from 120 yards and closer (including putts) - figure your short game shots out as a percentage of your total strokes - you'll be surprised!  How many of those shots were "preventable"????  That's all I'm going to say about that.

How's your wedge grooves?  Have a peek at my babble on the Babblin' page about wedge grooves.  When you have a close look at the wedge grooves (done at 200X through a USB microscope), it might open your eyes.  It might be time to either have your wedges re-grooved (I have a special tool for that), or if they're too far gone it might be time to replace them.

Swing Science Wedges:

Our new WEDGE SERIES was designed to enhance wedge play with a special emphasis on creating the right launch conditions for a given golfer. The new "S" Wedge was created for players looking for a traditional ball flight from a scoring wedge while the new "T" Wedge features a higher CG for creating a lower “tour” launch. Both wedges exhibit CNC Milling on the back cavity as well as the perimeter of the clubhead. Ideal from the rough, sand and fairway, these are extremely versatile wedges that play as great as they look!  I have a set of these babies for my own personal use.
