Have just purchased 3 wedges, this video has helped me so much, many thanks.

This isn't really wedge related, but....for those of us that have hearing problems, it would be nice if you would have recorded this in a better acoustical environment. It would have been much nicer in a smaller room w/ better acoustics since you weren't hitting balls or demonstrating technique, etc., that would require you to be in the larger room. Just a thought. Thanks! I always enjoy your videos.

Great video! Nice and simple explanation for beginners like me. Thank you

Still a beginner, and this really helps understanding what/why/which! thanks

I carry 4 wedges.
44 P w/8 b,
49 G w/12 b,
54 S w/14 b,
58 L w/10 b.
That’s what works for me. I typically use the 54 with lots of bounce out of green side bunkers and if a flop is needed around green I use the 58 with a little less bounce.

I was sick of all the pros hitting the ball a mile so I wrote PW on the bottom of my driver. Now I get 250 meters from my PW.

very helpful for a new golfer like myself! Now I understand the difference in wedges, now! Now I know what to look for when I go out and buy the wedges!!

[FITVIDS]

I appreciate your explanations; very informative. I finally understand the bounce in the wedges. Thanks

Geat video- thank you. New player played primarily scrambles for work. Helped educate me because I thought my 56 wedge was my gap wedge- I’m not comfortable with my Ping Sandwedge (think its 52). I have practices with my 56 more- guess I need more with my 52 then.

[maxsmart]

First lesson if you can’t break 90 play a 56. You don’t need 4 wedges.

[amyearley]

As a beginner this has been so informative l!!

[CaptainAhab-imkd]

A lot of the stuff with wedges concerns with exactly how much golf do you actually play. The more you play, often you can develop more feel.

Hi Todd. You instruction has helped to improve my golf tremendously ! I am from Cape Town South Africa. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[justinyang]

That’s simple and essential for beginners. Thanks!

[robertbachman]

my wedges are P(44*) G(49*) S(54*) L(58*) L2(62*) I do on occasion take a full swing with them all. The L2 is 40yds for over trouble. I know that can open the face to create more loft rather than having five clubs.

[kalinahal]

Great video thank you. Im just starting out and want to buy a wedge to use in a bunker. Which loft would be the best for me a 54, 56 or a 58?

[flores]

Thank you for the vid definitely clears things up for me as a new golfer

[greggouge]

From Limestone, TN 59 years old. Is a gap wedge a necessity? I have a pitching wedge and a Sand wedge but not a gap wedge.

[Cheeze]

Great breakdown. Answered so many question 🤙🏽

[Dmitat]

So I'm a beginner and stuck on what loft of pitching wedge to get. I got a Callway Strata 9-piece set off amazon that comes with a 55 degree SW but am unsure of my 9 iron and obviously the set did not come with a PW. Callaway discontinued the 9-piece set so I'm unable to pull the specs online.

What loft angle would you recommend? I don't want to be too close in angle to my 9 iron. Would i be good with 46 or 48 degrees? Any feedback would be great. Thanks!
