Pitching wedge

document: 1011 Title: Best gap wedge With the short game accounting for more than 50% of shots you play in a round, improving your wedge play is the first step to shooting a lower score. The wedge is the most important aspect when playing golf. Acting as the goalkeepers of our game by saving us shots from both turf and sand, golf wedges come in various lofts, finishes, bounce and grinds to help us get closer to the pin from anywhere inside of 125 yards. Gap wedges range in loft from 50 to 55 degrees

to master the lob wedge. From time to time you'll be faced with shots that require high carries over bunkers or water hazards to tight pin positions. You could certainly hit those shots with an open faced sand wedge, but a lob wedge makes it much easier. Lob wedges are used most commonly when players need very high trajectories and a lot of spin. A good lob wedge can make all the difference... Lob wedges come in lofts ranging from about 58* to 61*, and some "super" lob wedges come in lofts from

start out with a lower priced set until you determine if you like the game enough to play often. All golf manufacturers offer golf club sets. The typical set of golf clubs consists of one or two woods, a driver, 4 irons a putter and a sand wedge or pitching wedge. The most used irons are the 3, 5, 7 and 9 irons. Most beginning players won't notice much difference between the others. Clubs are made with different materials for the shafts. The material determines how the club will react and how much

seem to be enough for the Flashes as the Kent State baseball team dropped a 5-4 game to Canisius College on Wednesday afternoon. Coming off of a dominant pitching performance from Connor Wollersheim in Tuesday’s 8-3 win over Ohio State, the Flashes would have to look at another freshman in Joey Murray to keep the trend of great starting pitching going. Murray went into the ball-game looking to improve on his 10.32 ERA and bounce back from a less than stellar start last week against Pitt, and he did

| ________________________________________ MORGANTOWN, W.Va.–In West Virginia’s 91-62 win over Long Beach State on Monday night, the Mountaineers had an unusual cast carry them to victory. Lamont West scored 22 points. Sagaba Konate contributed a career-high 20 points and Chase Harler added a career-high 14. It was Harler that was a pleasant surprise on the stats sheet. Coming out of high school, the Moundsville, W.Va. native was a one of the state’s top basketball players. As a senior, he averaged

Starting Pitchers vs. Relief Pitchers There are many differences and similarities between relief pitchers and starting pitchers. There are many different types of relief pitchers that each team has in its bullpen. While starting pitcher each team usually has about 5 starters that rotate through each game, which leaves the rest of the game up to the relief pitchers once the starter can no longer go. People do not normally realize that saying a person is a pitcher is quite a general statement

Chipping There are some newer Golfers who confuse 'chipping' and 'pitching'. The difference is that chipping is more similar to putting. A chipping swing is more restricted to just the shoulders and arms. Your body remains still. What makes a good chip shot is a proper setup and swing. Whenever you set up to make a chip shot you need to use an 'open stance'. Keep your feet and hips opened slightly toward your target. It's natural for this stance to feel a bit odd at first. However, it's necessary

Driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, 7-wood, 9-wood, 1 through 9 iron, pitching wedge, utility wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, lob wedge. That’s 19 clubs and that, in and of itself, is confusing. There are two basic items that define each of the clubs: they are the angle of the club face relative to the ground, known as loft, and the length of each club

and sometimes the 9. The lower numbered irons are the irons you can hit further, the higher numbered irons are the irons you can’t hit as far as the lower irons. A chip is a shot that is used around the green and the club to use is the pitching wedge. The pitching wedge is used for the chip because it has a higher loft, meaning the ball can get really high, and have a lot of spin. Finally, the putt, the putt is a shot where the ball is on the green, and you ‘re trying to roll the ball into the cup.
