The gap wedge's loft depends on the club manufacturer and model of the club. Most gap wedges have a loft of between 50 and 52 degrees. Among wedges, this club has a low to moderate degree of loft and is sometimes called an approach wedge, used for approach shots more than any other ...
4-6° gap is normal, but it’s not about the loft on the wedge as much as it is the distance. Somewhere in the range of 12-16 yards is what’s suggested for wedges. Whatever loft numbers get that is what one would need. It may require bending wedges either strong or weak depend...
When they are choosing one, golfers should pick a gap wedge that has a loft that is mid-way between their pitching and sand wedges. Gap wedges with lower amounts of loft are effective when used from fairways or when the ball is on a hard surface, while those with high degrees of loft...
The iron models on the market today feature “P-clubs” as low as 42 degrees of loft. It wasn’t all that long ago, that a 42 degree club would have had an “8” on the bottom, so just calling that a “wedge” certainly doesn’t make it one. Matt:If we picked a particular lo...
As Paul mentions in his comments there is a wide range of ball speeds that can move the ball 30 yards, but .. clearly there is an optimal value that yields the best Distance To Target! Again: 150 different golfers, their choice of one of three wedge lofts. ...
What degree wedge is best for chipping? A 9-iron or a pitching wedge are the easiest clubs to learn how to chip with. They have more loft than a 7-iron, which helps the ball initially get off of the ground. However, they are easier to hit than higher lofted wedges, which are tough...
loft. Wedges commonly come in 48, 52, 56, 60 and 64 degree lofts. The PW is the highest lofted iron in a standard set and lowest loft of the wedges. Following the PW with higher lofts are theapproach wedge (AW) or gap wedge (GW),sand wedge (SW), and thelob wedge (LW),.More...
What is the difference between the sand wedge vs lob wedge degree? What sets apart the sand wedge from the lob wedge in terms of their loft degrees? The primary distinction lies in the loft angle influencing the distance and trajectory of the golf ball. ...
lofted from 42 to 46 degrees, the gap wedge is so-called because it closes the "gap" in loft between the pitching wedge and sand wedge. A typical gap wedge might might be lofted from 48 to 54 degrees. The gap wedge also goes by the names A-wedge, attack wedge and approach wedge. ...
Lob Wedge The lob wedge is a recent addition to the family of wedges. Golfers with experience will take a lob wedge when close to the green and try to hit it cleanly so that the ball flies into the air and then lands on the green with loads of spin. The degree of loft on a lob...
