Often dubbed as a “scoring tool,” the right wedge can be a real
lifesaver on the golf course. Whether it’s a pitching, sand, gap or lob
wedge, each can be used from a perfect lie in the fairway or a buried
lie in the bunker. In fact, there’s a reason why the distance from
within 100 yards is called the scoring zone. It’s the “make or break”
area, where a great wedge shot can redeem a bad drive or poor approach
to the green. Any miscue from this zone is considered an unforced error
that should have been avoided (especially from the fairway).

 There’s a reason why the distance from within 100 yards is called the
scoring zone. It’s the “make it or break it” area, where a great wedge
shot can redeem a bad drive or poor approach to the green. Any miscue
from this zone is considered an unforced error that should have been
avoided (especially from the fairway). So, what’s that mean? Choosing
the right wedges can be the difference between one or more strokes on
any given hole! To start, it’s important to find a wedge that matches
your needs, and luckily, if you’re in the market for game-improvement
models, ’07 is chockfull of new choices.
Sole Patrol
The wider the sole, the less the club digs into the ground, making it
easier to get the ball out of thick rough and sand. As for the angle of
the sole relative to the ground, that’s called the “bounce angle.” High
bounce angles work well in soft areas and vice versa. |

 Recently, one of my students came to me with a curious question. “Doc,”
he said, “why do I hit it off the toe with my wedges, but not with
other clubs?” We were on the practice tee, so I had him take out his
wedge (pictured) and show it to me. He was right. He’d been hitting it
off the toe so much that the clubface had started to wear down. |

 If your equipment had superheros, the wedges would be Clark Kent. At
first glance, they’re nothing special. But when you’re in trouble, your
wedges become Superman, helping you out of tough situations. Today’s
models are true life-savers, and they don’t need a telephone booth.
