Getting your right arms can transform your game for good. Here’s what you can learn from the five best players in the world.

With the driver who receives most of the attention these days (for really fun reasons) the part of the bag that requires the most thought (in my opinion) is that and why setting the player wedges. I get this question a tone on my Friday AMA Instagram.
What is the most common wedge placement in the tournament? To be honest, it is all over the map with the constant that are most tournament players go with a four -layer bag (PW/GW/SW/LW). Return to the day was PW/SW/LW, but it was mainly pre -prov1 and before the Revolution began.
So what happened?
It began with the beginning of the modern forehead in October 2000, which is when the entire golf world revolved in its head. With the introduction of new high -start/low -rotation platforms not only the ball was going farther but even higher.
At the highest tour level is great for maybe 3- to 5-Hakuri, but it stops here. The answer to this, though delicate, was a strengthening of lofts through the iron groups. While the ball evolves, so does the Golf Club – should come out of a aerodynamics perspective. So, in an effort to keep control with the combination of rotation and start, Lofts had to go down and the center of gravity had to be read to do it all.
An old packet of attic for cuffs and wedges on the tournament (before-2005 -i) could have been seemed like:
3-21
4-24
5-28
6-32
7-36
8-40
9-44
PW-48
SW-56
LW-60
While a group of 2025 looks like this:
3-20
4-23
5-26
6-29
7-33
8-37
9-41
PW-45/46/47
GW-50/51/52
SW-54/55/56
LW-58/59/60/61/62/64
As you can see, a modern tournament group is approximately 2-3 degrees stronger. At the top of my head, the only players playing with lofts living on the old school ball are Tiger, Rocco Media, The Hojgaards, Xander and Rahm, with Tiger and Rocco who are the only ones living almost apples in apples. The other three are what I would call the axis serious leaners, which means their impact conditions require a ton of attic to keep the ball in the air and in hand.
This modern attic package asked less from the top of the iron group and asked for more from the bottom. This is when the four -layer system entered popularity and is now the norm. The five main players in the world have wedge composition that everyone controls the four-layer system-and if you look closely you will see some similarities.
Making the wedge usually falls into a 12- or 15-oral field even though it is dependent on the player and the bags. (For example, Phil is a gap boy with 15 yards and Rahm is a 12 year old boy.)

What can you learn:
Very little, in fact. There are some things that can really lie in all these configurations:
1. All have skills: each player has at least a low option and a high option. Most of the 60s will sit on the lower side of the swelling and the sand wedge will give them the highest swelling option. This is actually how Vokey fits for a group. If one is low, the other must be high. This gives you opportunities and skills on any surface.
2. Doing is perfect: Turning players call in wedge based on carriage/roll, etc. However, the gap should satisfy the shooting out of speed and a very specific window as well. There is a good fit washcloth Sign in the game. Yes, this is more for full shots, but remember, wedges have 10 jobs to do.
3. This is the advantage no. 1: the four most important parts of your bag that should be perfect, okay: 1) ball 2) Wedges 3) Driver 4) Pitter. These are the most included clubs in your bag.
Taking right of your wedges can literally transform your game for good. There will be a huge drop in your handicap starts there, so get it called and get a ridiculous pressure from everything else. Happy hunting.
