Getting the right wedge setup is key to getting the best performance out of your wedges.
So equipment editor Hannah Holden met up with Titleist Vokey fitter Adam Best to get the lowdown on what you should be considering before you buy some new wedges.
They discuss loft gapping and bag mapping, how to choose the right bounce, and discuss which grinds are best for different conditions and swings.
Don’t want to take our word for it. Here’s the master, Bob Vokey, himself: “It is important to fit your wedges to your swing type, style of play and course conditions. That selection process should begin by determining the proper grind for the shots you hit most. The correct grind provides the best turf interaction, contact, and shot performance.”
