This is where you save shots. Good wedges give you options, and more importantly, the confidence to play them.

From tight lies to soft bunkers, it's all about control. Clean contact, predictable flight, and spin you can rely on when you need to stop it close. Whether you're keeping it low into the wind or floating one in soft, these are built to handle it.

Filling the Gaps

Most sets come with a pitching wedge (around 44-46°) built into the irons, but that leaves a big jump to a standard sand wedge (54-56°). A gap or approach wedge (around 50-52°) fills that space, giving you a reliable option for the awkward in-between yardages that otherwise force an uncomfortable full or half swing. A lob wedge (58-60°+) adds even more loft for short-sided shots and flop shots around the green.

Understanding Bounce

Bounce is the angle on the sole that determines how the club interacts with the turf or sand. Low bounce (4-8°) suits firm turf and golfers with a shallower swing. Mid bounce (8-12°) is the most versatile, working well across most conditions. High bounce (12°+) is built for soft sand and fluffy lies, helping the club glide through rather than dig in.
