Wedges buying guide

An ever increasing section of the golf market, specialist wedges should not be ignored by golfers from intermediate to advanced ability. All golf professionals carry specialist wedges, some up to 4 of them at a time. The reason for this is that they allow you to play a variety of shots from within 100 yards and around the green more consistently which, in turn will allow you to get closer to the pin. The average 18 handicap golfer may only hit 4-6 greens in regulation per round, hence more often than not a green will be missed and a chip will be required.

Non-Conforming Wedges

In 2010 a new rule was introduced regarding the size and shape of the grooves of a wedge. Golf club manufacturers had been producing wedges which gave “too much spin” which made the game too easy for Tour professionals. These “non-conforming” wedges are not allowed to be manufactured after 31st December 2010 but they can be sold until stocks are exhausted through 2011. They are allowed to be used in all most golf club competitions until 2024. These wedges are worth investing in – there is a reason why they have been outlawed!
