Frequently asked
Do tour pros actually use off-the-rack wedges?
Yes and no. The base head is often a retail model, but grinds, lofts, and lies are almost always custom-tuned by their OEM's tour department. It's the starting model that matters most.
Why do amateurs get so hung up on bounce?
Marketing, mostly. Manufacturers push bounce as a key differentiator because it's an easy concept to grasp. In reality, grind, sole width, and head shape have a far greater impact on turf interaction for most players.
What's the most common wedge brand on tour?
Vokey (Titleist) has dominated for years. Callaway's Jaws Raw and TaylorMade's Milled Grind lines have made decent inroads, but Vokey's market share is still formidable.
Should I match my irons' brand for wedges?
Not necessarily. While some players like consistency, many pros mix brands for wedges if they find a model that performs better. Focus on feel and turf interaction, not matching logos.
