So far you have met The Golf Driver, Fairway Woods, Golf Iron Sets, and Hybrid Irons.  Now it is time to meet the Golf Wedge.

What is a Wedge?  Well, it is pretty much an extension of your Golf Iron Set.  Some golfers think of the wedge as its own category.  But, no matter how you look at it.  it is a higher lofted Golf Iron. 

Because wedges are higher lofted clubs they are used for your short game or to get out of trouble.  No matter what the reason you choose to use a wedge, do not expect a whole lot of distance.  Although, if you watch the Pro’s play, they will hit a wedge 100 plus yards, the average golfer should not expect the same results.

As with all the other Golf Clubs in your bag you need to learn how to use them and then experiment until you find what wedges fit your comfort zone.  I, for example, am very comfortable with my iron play.  In my set I have opted to not carry a sand wedge and have replaced it with a 60 degree wedge.  Find what works for you.

The person who is probably the best wedge player ever is Phil Mickelson.  I have seen Phil from about 5 yards off the green, take one of his higher lofted wedges, hit the ball with a full swing, and the ball goes straight up travels about 10 yards and drops on the green.  As well as ability, you will need confidence when using your wedges.

What Golf Wedge should I get?  Well, I would suggest starting out with a 56 or 60 degree to start, learn to use it, practice with it and go from there.  You might find that wedge play is not for you or you might find that you love it.
