Golf Online Today’s new guide highlights the pros and cons of 50 and 52-degree wedges and explains how they can be used to hit shots that pitching and sand wedges aren’t capable of hitting. The purpose of the guide is to help golfers select the wedges that best suit their style of play.

According to Golf Online Today's latest guide, there are four types of wedges—pitching, gap, sand, and lob. Pitching wedges have the lowest loft of the four at 42 to 48 degrees, sand wedges fall between 54 and 60 degrees, and lob wedges have lofts over 60 degrees. Gap wedges—named because of the “gap” they fill between pitching and sand wedges—are usually either 50 or 52 degrees and they offer a middle ground in terms of wedge shot capabilities.

50 and 52-degree wedges can be used for a variety of shots. The 50-degree wedge is ideal for medium distances, tight lies, and any other shots around the green where more power is required. The 52-degree wedge offers higher trajectories and softer landings, so it’s useful in bunkers and dense grass.

Though the 50 and 52-degree wedges are considered “short-game clubs,” their maximum yardage is still quite high. On average, most male players can hit a 50-degree wedge 90 to 110 yards and a 52-degree wedge 85 to 105 yards.

When deciding whether to include a 50 or 52-degree wedge in their golf bag, golfers have to consider a few things. First, there shouldn’t be more than a 4 to 6-degree difference between any of their wedges. Moreover, golfers need to select clubs that complement the types of shots they like to hit, so if they want more height on their shots, they should opt for clubs with higher loft degrees.

“Whether you're an amateur golfer or a professional who's walked every inch of the PGA Tour, it's crucial that you’re familiar with the different wedges and how their varying degrees can affect your game,” said a spokesperson for the website. “With the help of our new guide, you can decide which tools you need to improve your short game and carve strokes off of your scores.”
