How to choose golf wedges

Plan loft gaps from your existing pitching wedge and compare actual carry distances. Try the sole and bounce on the turf and sand you usually play from, including open-face shots if you use them.

Grind availability depends on loft, hand and finish. A raw face may change appearance with use; rust is not a guarantee of more spin. Compare a single-wedge price with a set price only after checking the included clubs.
