Mind the gap

If we asked you what club you hit 150 yards, you’d likely have an easy answer. However, when it comes to 100 yards and in, it all gets a little messy and unclear. The funny thing is, this is the part of the game where our scores are made and lost, so maybe we all need to focus a bit more time on getting it right?

Do you have any yardage gaps in your set?

To start with, make sure your wedges are evenly gapped.

What is gapping?
It’s the fun process where we make sure each club in your bag goes a specific distance and that there are even gaps between one club and the next. This is particularly helpful when it comes to your wedge system!

So, rather than having to try and manipulate your swing-length to hit the ball a certain yardage, let’s look at things a different way.

Instead, make a note of the distances you most commonly face on the golf course but don't have a club that matches up. Then, we can help find you a club that goes that distance. If this is something you'd be interested in, send us a message.

Wicked & wonderful wedges

Whilst you might not be chipping out of the Augusta-style rough, having wedges that can really grab hold of your ball at impact can make the world of difference. You'll enjoy more spin and control no matter the shot at hand, giving you the confidence to attack pins at will – even at Augusta!

Cleveland CBX 2 Wedges

Modern engineering in wedges has focussed on creating grooves that hold contact with the ball for longer. This gives you more spin and, crucially, more control over that spin thanks to the increased feel. You won’t find a better example of this than the Cleveland CBX 2 wedges. You know that feeling when the ball jumps off the face as if it’s too excited to fly through the air?

Rotex Tour Zip Grooves

Cleveland's Rotex Tour Zip grooves maximise grip on the ball to stop this happening, handing you more control of both flight and spin. By adding a hollow cavity near the heel and a heavy weight in the toe, Cleveland is able to add lots of forgiveness; plus a Gelback TPU insert dampens vibrations for the perfect feel to round off these superb wedges.
