What is the most versatile wedge?
While all types of wedges will certainly add value to a golfer’s bag, the sand wedge should be considered the wedge that provides the most versatility. Thanks to the overall availability, ease of use and unique loft settings, the sand wedge can help a golfer in so many situations.
What degree wedge is most used?
pitching wedge
When it comes to common wedge setups on the PGA Tour, there are far more golfers playing with four wedges than three. Looking strictly at the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking, 80 percent are using a pitching wedge, 50/52-, 56-, 60-degree loft combination.
What is the most important wedge to have?
Overall, I believe that the sand wedge and the lob wedge are the most important wedges to get the bounce right on, because they will be used most frequently around the greens. Last thing about bounce– If you regularly play on tight turf, or regularly play on soft turf, match your wedge bounces to these conditions.
What is a versatile wedge?
The King wedges come available in three different grinds: “Versatile” (8-10 degrees of bounce, Rickie Fowler’s grind), “Classic” (11-12 degrees of bounce) and “WideLow” (4-7 degrees of bounce), thus allowing golfers to find a wedge that suits their swing characteristics and the usual turf conditions they play on.
How do I choose a loft wedge?
To make it easy, a good rule of thumb is to have about four-degrees of loft between your wedges. So, if your 48-degree pitching wedge flies on average 110 yards, and your 56-degree sand wedge goes about 80 yards, you probably need a 52-degree wedge that carries around 95 yards to fill an important hole in your setup.

Wedges have the highest lofts of any club. It’s recommended to have four degrees of difference between wedges. For example, if your pitching wedge has a 48° loft then you should have a 52° gap wedge, a 56° sand wedge and a 60° lob wedge.
