Pitch shots and the wedge game at large is very important to your short game. Most of the time the pitching wedge is brought out on approach shots. These golf shots are used to get from the fairway onto the green to putt and are usually from short distances. There are many different w...
The traditional golf club set comes with 7 irons. In addition, a set will most likely contain a pitching wedge with 4 degrees more loft than the 9-iron, along with a sand wedge with a loft of 56 degrees to get out of bunkers. Beginners and high handicappers may want to set aside the...
but you won't need nearly that many when you're first learning. Instead, start with a driver, a putter, a sand wedge (it's the club that has an "S" on the sole or a loft of 54 to 56 degrees) and supplement those with a 6-iron, an 8-iron, a pitching wedge, and ...
In contrast, a Pitching Wedge (50 degrees loft) or Sand Wedge (56 degrees loft) produce a high flight but a low distance of approximately 100 yards.Other irons such as the 7-iron sit between these two extremes, with around 12-15 yards difference between each club....
We decided on the following degrees of loft for the remaining wedges: 52, 56 and 60. The wedge fitting was probably the shortest of the entire process time-wise. We quickly found the right shaft, bounce and grind for the 52-degree wedge after hitting about 10 balls. But, before the ...
A simple way to identify your dominant eye is to get ready to strike a golf ball. Then, close one eye at a time. If the golf ball noticeably moves when one eye is closed, your closed eye is your dominant eye. There are varying degrees as to how much your eye dominance effects your...
have different “bounces”; this simply means the angle of the curved section of the bottom of the wedge. In visual terms, it’s the gap between the leading edge of the wedge and the ground when the club is placed in the address position. Bounces usually vary between 8 and 14 degrees....
There were many moments when reading, we nodded in heated agreement with the almost commonsense views espoused. As one other reviewer noted, it’s rare for a cookbook to move you to tears; be warned you may succumb. ... If there is a criticism to be made, we would only want more…"...
The numbers will vary a bit depending on your swing speed, but typically a few degrees is enough to get you quite a bit more yardage, getting the ball to fly a little farther and achieve a little more distance, overall. So then why do the Tour pros hit down on the ball when they ...
Any tips, tricks or suggestions (other than the obvious one of sneaking on to the course armed with a pitching wedge) would be appreciated. Expand Looks like a lovely place, but it would never be a place I could play, or even want to play. I read the Guest Ru...
