A very important moment in the game in any of the best golf courses in the world , is when we’re just one hundred meters of the hole and we reach it with the fewest possible strokes. This leads to deciding the type of wedge to use or adjust our swing for the distances that we should go.
The wedge is the name that is applied generically to the sticks used in the game for short distances and give the ball a higher elevation. These are characterized by its short dimension and have the face wide open.
It is known that in a game of 18 holes, the number of strokes in a player’s handicap half to less than 100 meters from the hole is more than 50 strokes, therefore, in order to optimize your shots you have at least a couple of wedges to serve you to your purpose, although many professionals have in their bags for three to four.
Is reasonable to suggest that as many wedges, the possibilities of expanding our range of strokes increases, and also logically assume that it is easier to change to change our swing wedges.
Until recently there were only two types of wedges, the Pitching Wedge , with one side open 48 degrees, used for those shots that bring us closer to the hole and on the other hand, there was the Sand Wedge , 56 degrees, and that helped us out of the bunker .
But now they have also incorporated the Gap Wedge 52 degrees, which is very rarely used, and finally the Lob Wedge 60 degree open face.
So from now who knows best options for your game, you can begin to tweak and improve your handicap.
