A standard lady wedge set usally contains a Pitching Wedge and a Sand Wedge. But you can choose for additional wedges with much more loft and significant names: trouble wedges. Wedges actually are specialized irons with blade club head forms, and high loft for high ball flights but less distance in yards/meters on the course. |
They are used for short shots, for instance to get out of the rough, and of course short shots to the green. Wedges mostly have a little bit shorter shafts than the regular irons. | Golf Wedge Description |

What Golf Wedge Set For Women?Which wedge do you use in which situation? And which ones do you need in your bag? Good questions, but it's hard to give answers that fit every lady golfer. Anyway, let's try. Remember these rules of thumb: find out which distances you want to reach, plus in which areas of the course. Consider the outcome as starting point in picking out theright golf wedge set of the wide range of wedges. A lot of women have two wedges in their golf set: a Pitching Wedge and a Sand Wedge. But a lot of lady golfers purchased one additional wedge. General Checklist For All Lady Golfers
| Choose for a Pitching Wedge, Sand Wedge, and may be a Golf Lob Wedge to complete your set of wedges. Think about a Gap Wedge, if the gap between the wedges is more than 4 to 5 degrees. |
| Choose for a golf wedge set with steel shafts for a better control, even though you have irons 3 to 9 with graphite shafts. |
| Keep in mind that the harder the club head material, the more forgiveness you will get from the lady golf club. If you are a mid or low handicapper: consider softer wedges for more control and more spin. Wedges made of softer head materials and smaller head sizes and forms allow you to hit the ball very accurate and precisely. |
| Think about the bounce of your golf wedge set. Bounce is the angle of the lowermost club's sole in relation to the ground, measured in degrees. Rule of thumb: use a wedge with more bounce in a bunker, in high grass, in rough, or other soft grounded areas. For example, a Sand Wedge has more bounce; you can get the ball jumped in the air, out of the sand.
Note: Avert a set with wedges of the same bounce soles. Choose for different lofts and different bounces in a golf wedge set. |
| Check the lie: the angle in degrees of the lady golf club head in relation to the shaft. |
| Check the loft of the lady golf wedge set: the angle of the club face in relation to the shaft. The higher the loft, the more you can lift the ball.
