Golf Sand Wedges
Golf sand wedges are, of course, irons. But sand wedges are often talked about separately because they are specialized irons.
When talking about the category of golf wedges, most golfers mean the gap wedge, sand wedge and lob wedge. Although a pitching wedge has “wedge” in its name, it is usually grouped with the other irons. This is because a typical, off-the-shaft set of irons for sale will include a 3-iron through a pitching wedge.
Golf sand wedges typically have 54-57 degrees of loft, and are used for shots of about 90 yards maximum for men, or about 80 yards for women. Golf sand wedges also have the most unique club head of the bunch, with lots of bounce and another feature called heel-toe chamber. This is what gives the sand wedge an oval shape on the bottom of the face. Finally, golf sand wedges have more sole width (the distance between the leading and trailing edge). All these features are designed to reduce the risk of digging in.
