Lead Edge

Alternative terminology for the leading edge, referring to the front-most part of the club head that initiates contact with the ball and ground. Lead edge design significantly influences shot-making capabilities, particularly for wedge play and shots from various lies. Professional golfers often prefer sharper lead edges for precision and versatility, while recreational golfers may benefit from more rounded designs that provide forgiveness. Understanding lead edge characteristics helps golfers make informed equipment choices and develop appropriate techniques for different shot situations and course conditions.
