You’re Using The WRONG WEDGES And Here’s Why!

This is the one thing I've learned. I was bad player who became a really good player. The difference was just getting better at golf. What degree wedge you use isn't going to make a damn difference. Play what's comfortable to you and this will be your best option. I play a 58, 54, 50. I did play a 60,56,52 and there isn't a damn difference. If you are good, you are going to make it work. If you struggle playing, you are going to struggle with any wedge in your game. Work on your game and screw the equipment. Now if you are a pro, these small changes can make a difference because the top players in the world are all so good and every little does help. For the average guy, just play what you have an work on your game. The better your game gets, then make a club/iron change. I watch these videos and they make it seem like clubs make the difference and they really don't. They did mention something very important. The strength of clubs is getting stronger and stronger. If you play a PW that's 41 degrees then get another PW that's 45. Carry two PW. I would also carry an extra wedge in your bag and not worry about what the rules say. I see to many guys worry about the rules on how many clubs they have but then use a foot wedge every time they get a chance. LMAO. I wish I was making this up.

When I first golfed we had the basics ,for years I used a 9 iron around the green ,in the bunkers but still did the job , simplified and yes I still have my day job.

Found this channel looking for what were considered to be the best wedges this season and clicked on your video and did not disappoint. Awesome video well informative no matter ones handicap there is something for every level in this video. Definitely sub and a like!

My next golf purchase will be on a proper wedge fitting. Thanks for the info. Now I know the questions to ask.

I've done something similar. After getting rid of my 3 iron because I play a 5 wood. I had a space in my bag. After working out my average distance with my PW I then decided which loft I am most comfortable with as a lob wedge...which was 56. I then found out my average distance with the 56. Then I spaced my next two wedges up from the 56 to the PW. I've ended up with 56,52,48, and PW. My average yardages are something like 95,105,120,and 135. Which I'm happy with, and my short game around the greens is actually really good for my level and I'm regularly complimented on it. Feeling really happy with this side of my game recently since the changes.

Lovely clear explanation there. Thanks Mr F

love love love this content.... thanks so much Matt..... seems i'm always looking at wedges... specs... comparisons.... you are awesome...

Thanks mate, I’ve been concentrating on using my wedges more rather than a high iron bump and run

One of the best lessons on wedges. May have to do away with 60 as I many a times dig into the turf! Always wondered why?

I have a 64 deg.wedge in my bag for those deep bunkers at the edge of the green. Rarely used, I had a 20 yd. shot from a deep bunker to a close pin on a negative slope. The 64 deg. wedge hit full lofted the ball high into the air and spun back to within a club length of the pin. I adjust the club set for the different courses I play from hilly and short to flat and long. I'm 83 yrs. and not very strong, so technique is most important. I can't wait for golf season.

I have a PW, GW, SW and lob wedge all 4 are different brands. Ended up this way by trial and error and having different requirements for each wedge. (46,51,56 & 60)

This is an incredibly helpful video!

Great video! Very informative!

Good info Matt. Thanks

@mattfryergolf really great video. Just for clarity, you mention high bounce vs low bounce a few times without specifics. What would be considered low / standard / high bounce angles?

Great vid Matt, very informative and turns out I'm using my wedges correctly completely by chance 😂

I have traditionally lofted clubs, PW 48, GW 52, SW 56, LW 60. Lately the 56 is my go to using the 3 release short game system.

Great video Matt, always helpfully

I carry a 60 degree Callaway sureout LW. It's got a big sole on it. It's quite a specialist club to carry but it's so good at digging you out of difficult situations around the green

I play 45.5/50.5/54/58 Glide 4.0 and love 'em. LW is something you have to practice with and be committed to.
