Wedge Fitting

Wedges get the shortest lengths in the bag, which means small errors matter more. A quarter-inch off on a 46″ pitching wedge changes setup posture proportionally more than the same error on a driver.

Length Below the Pitching Wedge

Keeping the Progression Honest

Standard length progression drops roughly a quarter-inch per wedge below the pitching wedge, but that stock progression assumes a stock iron length above it. If your irons were already length-fit to your wrist-to-floor number, your wedges need to continue that same progression — not reset to a factory default.

We map the full progression from pitching wedge through lob wedge so distance gaps stay even and posture stays consistent through the shortest clubs in your bag.

What We Check in a Wedge Fitting

Length Progression

Continued from your iron set's corrected length so posture stays consistent from pitching wedge through lob wedge.

Bounce & Grind

Selected against your typical turf conditions and actual attack angle, not a generic loft chart.

Loft Gapping

Checked against your pitching wedge and sand wedge to close real distance gaps rather than following a default 4-degree spacing.

Grip Size & Weight

Slightly different feel preferences are common in wedges versus irons; we check this separately during the fitting.

Sole Width

Wider soles help on firm turf and thin lies; narrower soles suit players who take a deeper divot around the greens.

Shaft Flex

Wedge shafts are typically stiffer than the rest of the set for control on partial shots — confirmed at your corrected length.

Common Misses

What a Wedge Length Fitting Can Fix

Chunked Chip Shots

A wedge that's too long for the shortened, controlled swings used around the green tends to bottom out early, producing chunked contact from tight lies.

Bladed Pitch Shots

The opposite issue — a wedge crowding your posture — often produces thin, bladed contact on standard-length pitch shots.

Overlapping Wedge Distances

Length and loft mismatches between wedges frequently cause two wedges to carry nearly identical yardages, leaving a real gap somewhere else in the progression.

Inconsistent Full-Swing Wedges

A length correction often tightens dispersion on full-swing wedge shots, which get less scrutiny than short game but matter just as much for scoring.
