One thing to remember about club fitting is that there are no hard and fast rules and choosing the right wedge grind is the perfect example.
On this week’s episode of GOLF’s Fully Equipped, co-hosts Johnny Wunder and Jake Morrow talked about why focusing on the number of swings doesn’t really give you a good picture of what a wedge will do for you.
Morrow brought up a great example from his testing on tight lies with low inflation wedge.
“I was hitting Opus T and I was on the left side of a two-week rain-free ECPC sphere, which is the strongest lie they have,” explained Morrow. “And with the T-bracket, they say in the paper and on the forums and everything, that’s got to be what works, right? Because it’s so tight. You’ll be able to catch it, but whatever.
“Well, the problem is for me as a steeper player, it just goes back to the knife and then it doesn’t come off the ground. That’s the thing.
“And so I go and start hitting these like 20-yard pitches with the 12-degree X pitch, which is probably the highest they have, and I feel like an absolute god.”
More often than not, the dance stated in a wedge dance is not actually what the toe dance is.
This is why Morrow suggests testing wedges blindlyHOW Titleist makes for the Vokey wedge formationto determine what works best for you.
Title Vokey SM11 Tour Chrome Wedge
Titleist Vokey Design’s new SM11 wedges feature a new precision CG position on every wedge in a loft, meaning every wedge will now perform the same way with the same shot.
“I’m almost at the point where I wish the inflation number would just be eliminated by the wedges,” Morrow said. “Like I just want to establish the shape of the sole, whatever the grind is from each manufacturer on their bottom. And the blind test that Vokey does is probably the best way to do it.”
There are so many different milling options from each manufacturer these days, and players hit shots in very different ways, so it’s important to find what wedges work for your specific delivery conditions, rather than responding to course conditions.
