Buyer’s Guide
There are three main golf Wedges in a golf wedge set. A golf sand wedge,golf gap wedge, and a golf lob wedge. A sand wedge is designed to get you out of a sand bunker if that's were you happen to land. The sand wedge has the widest sole, wider than any of the wedges, providing a huge amount of "bounce" allowing the wedge to slide through the sand and avoid digging in. The gap wedge has little angle between the sole and the ground when at rest and has no bounce at all. This wedge fills in the distance between a sets pitching wedge and sand wedge. The lob wedge is a very lofted wedge 59 or 60 degrees, occasionally more, used for high, soft shots from short distances. Those are your types of golf wedges.

With several brands and models narrowed down to choose from, how do you decide? There are two important factors to consider when shopping for golf wedge sets: the grooves and the shaft. When taking a look at the form of the grooves, you want them to have a sharp edge on each groove. Right now, groove technology is at it's best because the grooves are machine cut. The other part to look at is the shaft. The shaft can either be made in graphite or steel. The graphite is lighter, and that can make your swing faster. Steel is more durable, but most golf pros recommend golf club wedges with a more flexible shaft. With all the options on the market, you can find a golf wedge set that meets your needs.
