Types of Golf Wedges

Pitching Wedges (44–48°) are typically included with iron sets and handle full approach shots from 100–130 yards. Gap Wedges (50–52°) fill the distance gap between your pitching wedge and sand wedge. Sand Wedges (54–56°) are designed for bunker play and high, soft shots around the green. Lob Wedges (58–64°) produce maximum height and spin for tight pin positions and flop shots.

Understanding Bounce & Grind

Bounce is the angle between the leading edge and the ground — higher bounce works best in soft conditions and bunkers, while lower bounce suits firm turf and tight lies. Grind refers to material removed from the sole to improve turf interaction. Getting the right bounce and grind for your swing and course conditions is as important as loft selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many wedges should I carry?

Most golfers carry 3–4 wedges — a pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, and lob wedge. The right combination depends on your iron set's pitching wedge loft and the distances you need to cover.

What bounce should I use in my wedge?

Golfers who play on soft courses or take deep divots benefit from higher bounce (10–14°). Players on firm courses or with shallow swings typically fit better into low bounce (4–8°). Mid bounce (8–10°) is the most versatile option.

Are Vokey wedges worth it?

Yes — Titleist Vokey wedges are the most played wedge on every major tour for a reason. Precision milling, multiple grind options, and consistent spin performance make them the gold standard in wedge design.
