Choosing Your Club
For pitch shots, you’ll reach for your wedges. These clubs are specifically designed with higher lofts to get the ball up in the air.
Here are the wedges you might use:
• Lob Wedge (LW): Around 60 degrees of loft – great for very high, soft shots. • Sand Wedge (SW): Around 56 degrees of loft – versatile for both bunkers and pitch shots. • Gap Wedge (GW): Around 50-52 degrees of loft – fills the “gap” between your pitching wedge and sand wedge. • Pitching Wedge (PW): Typically 44-48 degrees of loft – your go-to for many standard pitch shots. Your club choice depends on the distance you need the ball to travel and the height you want it to achieve. The more loft, the higher the ball will fly and the shorter it will go with the same swing effort.
