Wedge Sessions

Wedges get the least fitting attention of any club in the bag and the most swings per round. This session treats bounce, grind, and loft gapping as seriously as a driver fitting does launch conditions.

What We Capture

Full Swings and Short Shots, Both Logged

Wedge sessions capture full-swing carry and descent angle just like every other club, but we also run controlled partial shots off a turf mat to watch bounce interaction and low-point control — the part of wedge fitting a driver-focused monitor setup usually skips entirely.

Attack angle gets checked specifically on wedge strikes, since a steeper angle needs different bounce and grind than the shallower entry most players bring on a full swing with a mid-iron.

The Variables

What Actually Changes in a Wedge Session

Bounce Angle

Higher bounce suits a steeper attack angle and softer turf; lower bounce suits a shallower angle and firmer conditions. Checked against your logged turf interaction, not guessed from playing style alone.

Sole Grind

Heel, toe, or full-sole relief changes how the club behaves when it's opened for a flop shot or square for a standard pitch — matched to your actual shot preferences.

Loft Gapping

Four to six degree gaps between wedges usually hold distance separation cleanly; wider gaps create yardage voids that the carry chart exposes immediately.

Shaft Weight

Wedge shafts sit heavier than iron shafts in most sets by design, but the exact weight still affects trajectory control on partial shots.

Grind Versatility

Players who open the face frequently need different heel relief than players who keep it square — a distinction that shows up clearly on the turf-interaction log.

Length & Lie

Wedge length affects distance control on partial shots more than it affects full-swing carry, and gets dialed in separately from the rest of the iron set.

Common Misses

What a Wedge Session Usually Fixes

Chunked Contact on Tight Lies

Often a bounce mismatch rather than a technique flaw — too much bounce for a shallow attack angle catches the leading edge before the ball.

Blading Short Shots

Insufficient bounce for a steep entry angle can cause the leading edge to dig then skip. More bounce, or a different grind, usually corrects it directly.

A Yardage Gap Between Wedges

If a full-swing gap wedge and sand wedge carry nearly the same distance, the loft spacing needs adjusting — visible immediately on the carry chart.

Inconsistent Distance on Partial Shots

Length and grind both affect how repeatable a 60-70% swing feels — tested directly rather than left to feel alone.

Fix the Club You Swing Most

Wedge sessions run 45 to 60 minutes and include both full-swing capture and controlled partial-shot turf testing.
