Find the gap in your game
If you’ve changed your irons over the past few years you will probably have noticed that the difference in distance between your pitching wedge and sand wedge is quite significant. The reason for this is that manufacturers now produce golf clubs with stronger (less) lofts. This isn’t to kid all of us that we can suddenly hit the ball farther, but a necessity due to the amount of ball speed modern irons now produce. Without the change of loft, the increased spin on the ball would make the ball fly too high.
Typically your pitching wedge will have around 44-46 degrees of loft, whereas your sand wedge will be in the region of 54-56. This difference of 10 degrees is around 25-30 yards in distance terms!
The ideal scenario is to have a gap wedge of say 50 degrees to bridge this gap between your pitching wedge and sand wedge. Some players will also put an extra wedge of around 58-60 for the high lob shots around a green.
Using our launch monitor we can accurately measure your distances with any club, using the ball you actually play with, to give you a recommendation.
This is exactly what a customer of ours did earlier this week. He had a wedge in his bag which was now redundant following a change of equipment. We quickly established the missing ‘link’ and added the correct clubs into his bag. His pitching wedge now measures 45 degrees, gap 50, sand 55, lob 60, leaving a 5 degree difference per club which is ideal!
If you’d like to learn more about gapping your clubs, let a member of the pro shop team know.

Boa constrict your footwear |
There's been two major trends in the golf footwear market in recent years: the first is the surge in spikeless shoes, and the other is Boa. So, what actually is the Boa Fit System and is it anything to do with snakes? |
| FootJoy UltraFIT Boa golf shoe
|
|
No, it's nothing to do with snakes. Phew. Rather, the Boa Fit System has revolutionized footwear for the better and we absolutely love it. Instead of using traditional laces, Boa utilises a steel wire (virtually unbreakable) that is effortlessly tightened via an easy-to-use dial strategically placed on the shoe (seen above). To loosen, simply pull out the dial and open up at the tongue. |
With FootJoy's UltraFIT Boa, which is available in-store now, you will be guaranteed a comfortable fit every time safe in the knowledge that your laces will not come undone or get tangled throughout your round. If you haven’t already experienced Boa, then we implore you to come down to the store and try on this fantastic option today - no obligation. |
