The right wedges for your golf game – precision around the green
Wedges are among the most important clubs in your golf bag when it comes to short and precise shots. They're your secret weapon for tricky lies, shots from bunkers, or approach shots where a pinpoint landing is crucial. In our golf shop in Münster, you'll find both new and used wedges from top brands like Titleist, Cleveland, Mizuno, Wilson, Cobra, and TaylorMade. Here's what you should look for when buying wedges.
1. Why do you need wedges?
Wedges are used for short shots that require a high trajectory and minimal roll on the green. They are ideal for approach shots, chips, and shots from difficult lies such as bunkers or deep rough. Good wedges can significantly improve your game in the scoring zone (within 100 meters).
2. What types of wedges are there?
- Pitching Wedge (PW): Ideal for shots from approximately 80–120 meters.
- Gap Wedge (GW): Closes the gap between PW and SW (approx. 70–100 meters).
- Sand Wedge (SW): For bunker shots and short shots (approx. 50–80 meters).
- Lob Wedge (LW): Highest loft (58°–64°) for high, short shots (approx. 40–60 meters).
A full set often consists of GW, SW and LW – ideal for players who want to vary their short game.
3. The most important factors when choosing a wedge
-
Bounce: Affects how the racket interacts with the ground.
- Low bounce: For hard, dry conditions.
- High bounce: For soft ground or steep turns.
- Grind: Shape of the club sole – influences versatility and control.
- Loft spacing: Ensure consistent loft spacing, e.g. 50°/54°/58°.
Our experts in Münster will gladly help you find the perfect combination of loft, bounce and grind – even for used wedges.
4. New or used – which is worth it?
Used wedges are a smart choice for budget-conscious golfers. Brands like Cleveland, Mizuno, and Titleist offer durable quality that holds up even when used. We offer inspected models in top condition.
5. Fitting and testing – The ideal wedge for your swing
The perfect wedge fit depends on your swing style, course conditions, and preferences. At our golf shop in Münster, we offer fittings where you can test different options – whether new or used.
