How Do You Use A Sand Wedge In Golf?
The sand wedge may be one of the most underrated golf clubs. Designed to hit a golf ball shorter, higher and more accurately, the club’s primary use is to get your ball out of a bunker, or sand trap. Know when to use your sand wedge. This club works best when hitting short sand shots near the green. You’ll also use this club when your ball lies in rough, soggy or muddy ground. Understand the mechanics of the sand wedge and the effects it has on your golf ball. Sand wedges add backspin, which causes the ball to stop quicker when it contacts the green thereby staying nearer to the pin. Ensure your sand wedge is a proper fit. Consider loft and bounce when being fitted for a sand wedge. Loft is the angle of the club head away from your target; the greater the angle, the higher the loft. Bounce is the distance between the wedge’s leading edge and the ground; more distance equals higher bounce. Consider using a sand wedge with a wide lip on the underside and some bounce if you’re golfing on
