Frequently Asked Questions – Wedges

What is a wedge used for in golf?

Wedges are used for short approach shots, chips, pitches, and bunker play. They’re designed for precision and high-lofted shots that stop quickly on the green.

What are the different types of wedges?

The main types are:

• Pitching Wedge (PW): Great for full approach shots, usually around 44°–48°

• Gap Wedge (GW): Fills the loft gap between pitching and sand wedges, usually 50°–54°

• Sand Wedge (SW): Designed for bunker play and short chips, typically 54°–56°

• Lob Wedge (LW): Ideal for high, soft shots around the green, often 58°–60°+

Do I need more than one wedge in my bag?

Yes—most golfers carry at least two or three wedges to handle different types of short shots. A common setup includes a pitching wedge, sand wedge, and lob wedge.

What’s bounce and why does it matter?

Bounce refers to the angle between the leading edge and the lowest point of the sole. More bounce helps in soft turf or sand, while less bounce suits firmer conditions or tight lies. The product description will list bounce options if applicable.

Are your wedges good for beginners?

Yes—we stock wedges for all skill levels. Look for models described as “forgiving” or “game improvement” if you’re new to short game shots.

Can I get left-handed wedges?

Yes—many of our wedges are available in left-handed models. Just select your preference on the product page or filter by hand orientation.

Do wedges come as part of an iron set?

Pitching wedges often come included in iron sets, but gap, sand, and lob wedges are usually purchased separately for more control and customisation.
