Definition

A high-lofted golf club designed for short approach shots, chip shots, and specialty shots around the green. Wedges include pitching wedges (44-48°), gap wedges (50-52°), sand wedges (54-58°), and lob wedges (58-64°). These clubs feature specialized sole designs, groove patterns, and bounce angles to perform specific functions. Modern wedge design incorporates various bounce options, grind patterns, and face technologies to help golfers execute delicate shots with precision. Wedge play is crucial for scoring, as these clubs are used for the majority of shots within 100 yards of the green.
