► Getting up and down when you miss a green is an essential skill when it comes to maintaining the momentum of a round and shooting a good score. But are your wedges telling you it’s time to upgrade? There are plenty of warning signs to look out for, either in terms of visually looking at the wedge itself or analysing the performance you are experiencing, as Joel Tadman explains in this video filmed at Peterborough Milton Golf Club. Take stock of the wedges in your bag today – is now the right time to bite the bullet?

I was only looking at new wedges yesterday, now I know I do need them😊 many thanks
Re-groove your slots, sand the face with 240 grit using a DA sander, and sand the shiny grips with 120 grit by hand. Just like new, trust me!
Titleist did extensive testing and found out after about 75 rounds it’s time to get new wedges.
My advice is buy a groove sharpener. I had Ping glide 2 sand & gap and a SM8 Lob. I went to Titleist for a SM9 wedge fitting and the increased spin was obvious, even compared to the SM8 lob which wasn’t that old. I purchased new SM9 48 & 54 and sharpened the grooves on the SM8 lob. The SM8 is now as spinny as it was when it was new. Very happy with my wedge set now. Saved £150 by not buying SM9 lobber 👍👍
Turns out I need new wedges lol. The faces on my wedges are pretty dinged up. I bought a Milled Grind 1 56 and 60 brand new 2 1/2 years ago and I've played and practiced A TON and it's becoming noticable the spin and control loss with my 60, but damn I love that 60 Ive hit countless good shots with it.
AH, I knew my inconsistency was entirely due the age of my wedges…
And I thought my game was off. Now I know why. I have been blaming the ball for months. How about the equipment. This is the best news I have come across in ages. Thanks Joel.
