The gap wedge is one of the most under- utilized clubs in a golfer’s bag. So many players are confused about what, and where this club fits in the game of golf and usually is not standard in a set of clubs.
Exactly what is a Gap Wedge?
A common occurrence in the game of golf is to find one’s self in the position of being “in between” a pitching wedge and a sand wedge. An approach wedge or gap wedge fills in the void or gap, by providing a trajectory that’s higher and shorter than a pitching wedge but also a trajectory that is lower and longer than a sand wedge. Because it bridges the “gap” between sand and pitching wedge, it derives its name from its function.
How Can a Hybrid Gap Wedge Benefit My Play?
What everyone should know about using a hybrid gap wedge is that some clubs chosen will not instantly erase their collective penchant to shank or chunk shots. However, the unique golf club angle design of the Black Magic gap wedge makes it virtually impossible to shank and also helps to overcome some very common bad habits golfers commit time and time again.
How Can I Get More Out of My Gap Wedge?
The main problem with using an approach wedge is, well, the approach itself. Like most aspects of the game–be it the drive, fairway shots, or putting–there’s a lot which goes into sizing up shots and even more over analysis of stance, swing and power. In other words, players often cause themselves to over think the situation and effectively undermine the shot before they even take their swing.
The good news is that using a Black Magic wedge significantly reduces those concerns and players can naturally approach each shot. The idea is to lessen or remove the apprehension associated with swinging a gap wedge.
What Golf Techniques That can Be Employed to Get the Most Out of My Approach Wedge?
Some rules of thumb that will make your gap wedge a more powerful and useful tool in your short game:
1 A slow take away will make the transition from back to forward much smoother
2 Your golf swing should come into contact with the ball a little from inside of your target line.
3 Allow your body to rotate out on the target line instead of finishing way left of your target line.
4 For bunker shots make sure you carry the club up high enough to lift the ball over the lip. Again finish out in front of your body instead of low and left.
In following these suggestions, your approach wedge becomes a saving grace for your short game.
