Gap Wedges (GW)Īs the name suggests these wedges fill the ‘gap’ between the pitching wedge and the sand wedge. Most modern sets tend towards a lower lofted or stronger pitching wedge to blend in with longer-hitting iron designs, whilst also creating a need or gap for the, aptly named, gap wedge. Typically with a loft between 44-48 degrees it is used primarily for full shots into greens and some longer chip shots. The first and most common wedge is the pitching wedge. Wedges can be divided into four main types: Different types of wedges along with varying specifications mean you should research and find a wedge that is suits to your swing and needs.

Wedges may appear as basic clubs that are not as advanced in terms of technology as a driver or irons, but this is untrue. It is essential that the wedges you carry add to your game and assist scoring. They can create birdies or save pars, but can also cause problems for golfers who struggle around the greens if they are not using the right type of wedge for the shot. Research shows that around a quarter of all shots are played using a wedge so clearly they are a vital part of every golfer’s game.
