Many of the testers at this year’s GOLF Magazine Wedge reviews emphasized the increased spin they got on the new wedges compared to their own.  What does that tell you?  That you should probably replace your Sand and Lob wedges once a year if you are a once-a-week or more golfer.  Understanding loft and bounce were also important to the testers, so before you buy yourself new wedges, see your PGA Pro and seek out his advice on the right combination of loft and bounce to suit your game.  I was pleased to read the wedges I have in my bag. The Mizuno S5’s came out as #1.  Thanks so much to Rob Sauerhaft  of GOLF Magazine and his testers Michael Chwasky, Mark Dee, and Alana Johnson for helping us make our wedge purchase so much easier!

The year’s best new short-game gear offers an array of options to help you shave strokes on and around the greens. Our band of 40 ClubTesters evaluated 12 wedges at World Golf Village Resort in St. Augustine, Fla. Hot Stix Golf custom-fit each tester to his best specs. As ClubTest 2016 reaches a grand finale, it’s time to choose your weapons — and go low!

One of the most commonly-used short game buzzwords is “bounce.” But what is the bounce exactly, and how does it work?  The bounce is like a small hydroplane on the bottom of your wedges and allows the club to skid through the shot instead of digging into the ground.  Using the bounce on your wedges is both an art and a science, says Roger Cleveland, as he is interviewed here by Mark Crossfield
