Without doubt the secret to good scoring is good wedge play. Choosing the correct set of golf wedges, in the right lies and lofts, with ideal shaft length and flex, can provide higher swing speed and better results. Listed below are some of the key essentials in choosing the wedge that best suits your game.

Benefits of Loft The more loft a golf ball has when it is struck, the higher that trajectory is going to be. So, if the trajectory is high then the golf ball will travel a shorter distance. Golf wedges are the most lofted golf club in a bag; utilize them to gain an advantage by tapping into their technologies.

Bounce Angle and how it can help you achieve in 2014 The bounce is the curvy part on the sole of the golf wedge which allows the club head to bounce out of the sand or rough without sagging. By using a golf wedge with the right combination of bounce and loft, a game can be transformed – especially for short game players. It is unlikely that you will ever actually encounter a wedge with a bounce higher than 18 degrees, although the bounce can still be as low as 2.

The three variations of bounce that can affect a player’s game are Low, Standard and High; check below for more details of which is best suited for every golfer.

Low Bounce Golf Wedges A Wedge offering low bounce is idea for tackling shots from tight lies and firm turf conditions. The combination of having less bounce and narrower sole-width lowers the leading edge of the blade for a clean, crisp contact with the golf ball. This is perfect for golfers who have a shallow attack angle through impact.

Less bounce and narrower sole width makes it easier to open the face and hit high, soft landing flop shots.

Lower bounce golf wedges are found in lower loft ranges such as Pitching and Approach golf wedges used for longer approach shots. More golfers benefit from having more bounce (10 to 14 degree) as opposed to less.

Standard Bounce Wedges The standard bounce golf wedge is perfect for all conditions and can suit any golfer with its all-round playability, including the more creative players. A brilliant option for golfers who prefer to play an open or square face out of the bunker and who have an average to slightly steeper attack angle.

High Bounce Wedges High bounce golf wedges are ideal for golfers with a steep attack angle and are designed for play out of soft turn and sand.

The combination of the wider flange and higher bounce angle prevent digging and create smoother gliding action of the sole along the ground.

This works exceptionally well out of (soft) sand for players who prefer to keep a square face through impact. High bounce golf wedges are often associated with higher lofts, although this is not always the case.
