Eighty-nine dollars, used, rusty face and a scratch across the toe — that beat-up wedge outperformed every one of the eleven full-price wedges sitting in my garage. Something was very wrong, and it took me two years to figure out exactly what.
In this video I break down the seven wedge-buying mistakes that quietly wreck the short game of golfers over fifty. You'll learn why bounce, not loft, is the number that actually matters for a shallow, sweeping swing — and the exact degree range (ten to fourteen) that fixed my fat shots almost overnight. I'll show you why the "bounce" printed on the sole often isn't the bounce you're actually playing with once grind comes into it, and how a fifteen-dollar lie angle bend outperformed a hundred-and-eighty-dollar wedge purchase. Then I'll walk you through my own launch monitor numbers proving that a new ball added more spin than a brand-new wedge ever did — for a fraction of the cost. ⛳🏌️
If you're tired of buying equipment because a commercial told you to, this one will change how you shop for wedges for good.
