As you drive the ball 300 yards, pull out an iron and hit another perfect shot, you are now 50 yards away from the pin, and this is the most crucial shot you will come up against. If you don't have the proper wedge to navigate this shot, you can come up short, or even worse, sky rocket over to the next tee box. This is the reality that comes into play for golfers, who don't have the proper mens wedges to complete their game.

Why is it important to use a golf wedge?
For all golfers, there is nothing worse than ruining a perfect 300 yard driver, with a bad short game. Not only does this ruin the hard work you just did, it makes you not enjoy anything 100 yards and in. If you aren't focusing on which wedge you are using, or you just don't have one, the solution can be very easy for you. A mens golf wedge comes in a variety of degrees, making them perfect for any situation you find yourself in. The degrees are all different, in order for you to have a club that is suitable for different yardages.
If you are a golfer who is using a pitching wedge from 50 yards and closer, not knowing why you hit everything over the green, it's because a pitching wedge is not the right club for that scenario. A pitching wedge should be hit roughly around 100 yards and closer, so with that being said, when you get closer than 100 yards, you need another wedge to help you be precise and accurate. This is where a full set of mens wedges come into play. Now that you chipped onto the green, checkout our Mens Golf Putters.
How Far Should A male golfer hit their wedge shots?
Understanding which mens golf wedges feel best for you and how far you hit them, is important for all golfers. This is done by practicing, trial and error, and figuring out what you are comfortable with. There is a general rule of thumb when it comes to the distance behind each wedge, so let's dig into it.
Pitching Wedge/Gap Wedge: A mens pitching wedge in a general rule of thumb, should be hit roughly 100 to 150 yards. This is different for all golfers, but that is a rough trajectory. Now, a gap wedge sits right in the middle of this, used for yardage around 80 to 115 yards.
Sand Wedge: Since sand wedges are common, there's a good chance you already have or used a sand wedge. A sand wedge is great to bridge the gap between a pitching wedge, aimed to be used for shots 50 to 95 yards.
Lob Wedge: A mens lob wedge is an awesome club to use and let's get incredible loft behind your shot. Perfect for 40 to 75 yards and will allow you to be precise when approaching the green.
Now you can understand the importance of having different wedges and why they are designed for specific areas on the course. We carry mens golf wedges with graphite and mens wedges with steel, depending on which you prefer. Don't worry, we also carry senior golf wedges that are custom made for the seniors who are looking to transform their short game. Here at GolfersProShop.com we have the best selection, ready to transform your golf game.
What Loft Means for Men’s Golf Wedges:
To break down how loft determines the type of wedge you want, first it’s important to understand what loft really is. Loft is the angle of the clubface. Let’s say your club is 56 degrees, this means that the face is tilted upward more so the ball would go higher and shorter. With a lower loft there would be less of a tilt, so the ball would go further, but lower.
This is important because if a golfer is trying to clear a water hazard whilst being close to the green, they would need the ball to go higher, but not too far where they mess up their putter shot. In this instance you would need a high loft to have the club behave as a lob wedge.
When you’re selecting the degrees of loft you really are determining what the behavior of your club will be.
When to Use Full Face Vs. Traditional Wedges:
If you are confused on what full face wedges are and why they’re important, the experts here at Golfers Pro Shop have broken it down for your ease.
Full face wedges have grooves that cover the whole face of the wedge, as opposed to standard or traditional wedges that only have grooves in the center of the clubface. Standard, regular, and traditional wedges are used interchangeably.
- Grooves are lines cut into the face of a wedge that add spin and help the ball stop sooner. Without grooves you would have a lot less control with your shot.
Choosing between a full face wedge and the standard wedge comes down to confidence, distance from the green, and the golfers skill level.
- With standard wedges there is a more compact area that a golfer will have to hit in order for it to perform the way you want. Since the grooves are only in the center, if you hit the ball on the edge you risk ruining your shot. The more confident you are that you can execute your shot, a standard wedge with grooves in the center of the clubface is recommended. However you should note how far you are from the green, wanting a precise shot might be a determining factor for your use.
- The distance from the green is another thing to consider when choosing between a full face and a regular wedge. With deeper groove styles your shot would have extra control. The closer you are to the green the more you need a guaranteed precise shot. This is where the skill set comes in and plays a huge role.
- Standard wedges will perform with precision if hit correctly. A skilled golfer has practice in hitting the sweet spot. Hitting the ball in the wrong part of the clubface of a standard wedge will make your shot be less accurate. Players who are more experienced will have a greater reward for a small risk. Since the grooves of full face wedges go across the whole face of the club, you can get spin and control even if you hit it improperly. Therefore if you are a mid-high handicap golfer a full face wedge would be recommended.
Full face wedges will be labeled as is on GolfersProShop.com, whereas traditional wedges goes without saying. Now you can understand the importance of loft and grooves of a clubhead when deciding which Men’s Golf Wedge to use and when!
