We all know that the key to lower the blows of a round is in how it operates in the last 100 meters of the hole, the so-called “hot zone.” In an 18 hole round, a half handicap player gives more than 50 strokes to less than ninety meters from the flag.

To achieve all possible distances in the 100 meters has two options: you can adjust your swing at all distances and carry more wedges in his bag so you have more choices of distances with the same swing. Most professionals carry three or four wedges.

With over two wedges can perform a wide range of strokes with the same swing. It is easier to change to change the swing stick. With more wedges, the chances of having to face a coup three quarters, a blow hard to control, are becoming smaller.

The four Wedges .-

So far there were only two wedges, the pitch of 52 degrees for short approach shots to the flag, and the sand 56, to bring bunker.
Manufacturers now offer us new clubs that we could more easily solve the huge variety of shots that can occur around the green.

Of these, the Gap Wedge is a very rarely used stick.

The sole .-

In clubs such precision, the sole is very important. The big difference between a sand wedge and lob wedge is that the sand is usually convex sole, while the latter has it flat. By removing the bunker no generally agreed that it sinks the clubhead in the sand and convex sole enables the club face to slide between the sand and the ball. The best players do not need sticks as well prepared because they dominate the impact through the ball and both have much less risk of hitting the ball with the blade of the stick, as stuck in the sand. But for the lob wedge, you have to get between the ground and the ball to get maximum elevation, flat sole essential.
