Wedge Fitting

Wedges get judged on feel more than any other club in the bag — which is exactly why shaft weight, bounce, and grind deserve the same rigor we bring to a driver fitting.

What We Capture

Touch Comes From the Shaft as Much as the Sole

We start by measuring your typical attack angle and turf interaction from a range mat and, when possible, real turf. Bounce and grind are selected to match how steeply you strike the ball, while shaft weight is tuned specifically for touch on partial shots rather than carried over from your iron set by default.

Distance control from 100 yards and in usually improves more from getting shaft weight right than from any bounce or grind change alone.

The Variables

What Actually Changes in a Wedge Fitting

Bounce & Grind

Higher bounce suits steeper attack angles and softer turf; lower bounce and a narrower sole favor shallower strikes and firmer conditions.

Shaft Weight for Touch

A shaft that's too light for your hands can make distance control on partial shots feel vague. We tune weight for feel here more than for maximum swing speed.

Loft Gapping

Wedge lofts are checked against your pitching wedge and each other so full-swing yardages don't overlap or leave an awkward gap.

Grind Versatility

Some grinds are built for one type of shot; others flex across bunker, chip, and full-swing situations. We match grind to how varied your actual short game shots are.

Get Real Touch From Inside 100 Yards

Sessions run 45–60 minutes and cover full swings, pitches, and bunker contact.
