Spin Doctors: How to Choose and Use the Right Wedges

Understand the three specs that matter most when buying wedges Learn how to build a wedge setup that fits your game and home course Discover simple drills to improve contact, spin, and distance control Know when to use high bounce vs. low bounce Stop guessing yardages and start scoring inside 100 yards Ball Position Tip Hold the club with your normal, relaxed grip and make a few small, natural swings back and forth — nothing forced, just brushing the grass. Notice where the club consistently strikes the ground. That spot is your true low point, and that’s where the ball should go. Wedge Fitting Tip If you’re going to get your wedges fitted, work with a brand‑agnostic fitter — someone who isn’t tied to a single manufacturer. That way, you’re choosing the wedge that fits your swing, not the one they’re obligated to sell. And make sure the fitting happens on real grass, not a mat. Mats hide fat shots, change bounce interaction, and give you a totally false sense of how the club performs. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
