Pitching Wedge

A high-lofted golf club typically featuring 44-48 degrees of loft, designed for approach shots from 100-130 yards and various short game situations around the green. Pitching wedges are standard components of most iron sets and serve as versatile scoring clubs for intermediate approach distances. Modern pitching wedges often feature advanced groove designs, sole configurations, and materials to optimize spin and control. Understanding pitching wedge techniques, including full swings, partial swings, and creative short game applications, is crucial for effective scoring and course management around the green areas.
