What a Wedge Gapping Session Should Measure | GOLFTEC Hong Kong

The loft stamped on a wedge tells you what the club was built to be. Your carry numbers tell you how it fits into your set. Start the session with the shortest iron or set wedge you already trust.

Compare stock carries

Hit a short set with your pitching wedge and each specialty wedge. Use your normal stock swing and record carry, strike quality and the spread between shots. Compare the middle of each group. Two clubs with a meaningful loft difference can produce similar carries if contact or delivery differs.

Check the distance that causes trouble

Pick a number you often face on the course. Try it with a shorter swing using two adjacent clubs. Compare carry and how far each ball finishes from the target. A reliable partial shot may already cover a gap you thought you needed another club to fill.

Bring the whole scoring end of the bag

Take your actual set wedge and current wedges to a fitting so the fitter can compare the complete progression. Note which club you prefer for chips or sand as well. A loft change that looks tidy on paper still needs to give you the shots you use around the green.

Before a Hong Kong fitting, note which approach distance leaves you between clubs most often. Explore GOLFTEC Hong Kong.
