This is an incredible display of the importance of wedge fitting and gapping. One stroke per hole gain for most players. Thanks to Matt and Ian.

[@novascotian9287]

Tiger Woods said no Amateur should use less than a 12. Says we don't practice enough. I think what he is saying is we just aren't as good as we think we are! Use the bounce as is will give you forgiveness and consistency. Great video again boys.

[@chrischampion727]

This one goes directly into the “Greatest Hits” archive of TXG videos! 🙌🏼

[@Stannyhand]

That’s a big folder

[@aaron_b.]

Still the best wedge video on KZbin for the recreational golfer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@mattsheehan5033]

Love the guy hitting chips off the green while they are working on the bunker shots! That’s real confidence! Also that was a phenomenal video!

[@elliotresnick5433]

For someone who hits his 8 iron 145 yards, this was both an aspirational and inspirational video!

[@shanespruiell93]

One of my favorite TXG videos that I keep coming back to. Some great wedge bounce/grind insight in there

[@JPMoon]

I miss these fittings videos more than I realised, what a brilliant video!

[@clubchampionmedia]

[@JGFreeh]

Just got back from a bunker practice session where I have officially re-bagged a 60-06. I have been on the struggle bus from these hard-pack bunkers in PA lately, and this was the missing tool. Thank you, gents! Keep up the amazing work!

[@barrymills8597]

This was brilliant guys, Matt making it look too easy. Ian the maestro. Keep them coming lads.

[@Dmh1181]

Best golf club review channel on KZbin!

[@jeffreylondongolf3448]

Everything in this video just makes sense. Perfect timing as I reinvent my wedge game.

[@myleshancock9164]

Best wedge video I've ever seen. Learned lots. Fantastic work gents 👏👏👏

[@biggregg5]

Great video. I need to watch this a half dozen times.

[@ryandeery6930]

Guys this video was superb. Brilliant work. Honestly one of the best channels around 👏🏼

[@jarrat1305]

Top video guys. Covering lots of diffrent aspects of the wedge set. Really educational.

[@stefanp.6473]

Finally. This video helped the most with choosing my wedge and bounce selections... this is what I needed to see!

[@josiahjones9521]

Best wedge video I've ever seen! So informative! Thanks,guys!

[@andrewmigmitch]

Very informative fitting video. Loved it. Would like to see more of your customers going through this. To see different club deliveries

[@alexanderscharfgarcia833]

Life changing information on this video. It's amazing how important it is to get a full wedge fit by someone who knows what they are doing. Would love to get a full bag fitting by you guys once the Covid is gone forever!

[@thatdudeuceverywhere]

Love the instruction and in depth take on a wedge fitting. Going to have to schedule a wedge fitting with you guys soon! Excited for my loft & lie review this weekend with Cam!!

[@wiggy123]

You guys just keep making better and better content. The chemistry between you is awesome, perfect amount of chat against shots with great pace of footage. I could watch this for hours. What I love about this video is that Mattys wedges set up is pretty much identical to mine, 50/10, 56/11 and 60/08. Pretty much covers all bases and make me feel confident with my wedges. The zipcores look awesome and I'm defo gonna buy them in the new year, just wish there was fitting availability like this in the UK but with your input I'm happy to just buy the specs from the rack. Thanks guys. Massive fan.

[@nigelday001]

Loved this video guys .. cheers 😉🏌️‍♂️⛳️🍻

[@albertofernandez-sanguino3373]

Ian, Matt.... the best video yet! Simply superb, keep up the great work

[@TheMwhstewart]

I feel like I am learning so much from watching your videos, I never knew that much about spin rates, bounce, sole width, attach angle, dynamic loft etc other than the basics. You guys make it so clear to understand. I’m turning into a techy! Hopefully gona translate into lower numbers! Great jobs guys! Many thanks.

[@loutorres1965]

Definitely one of the better videos seen in a while. Thank you for explaining Loft and bounce

[@ScubaHockeyDoc]

I ordered three new SM8 wedges over a month ago. Same lofts, bounces and grinds. They are supposed to be delivered in three days. Can't wait to give them a go after seeing this video!

[@paramedicengineer]

Favorite TXG video yet. Good job guys, this was full of useful information to help us all get a little better! Bravo! 👏

[@CuracaoGolfer]

That was great fitting instruction and information for us when trying to determine which wedges to complete our set...Thanks!

[@Mitch3515]

Tons of knowledge in this fitting video and really demonstrates why you should really test your wedges outside if possible while being fit. Also, the little nugget about having a shot for every type of lie using your wedges is huge! I will definitely be be using my 55 degree out of the rough far more than before!

[@richarddack9838]

Wow. What a great video. Thank you for the in-depth look at what wedge fitting should look like.

[@stuartholmes6262]

That was incredible, thanks guys. The best wedge fit info that I've ever come across.v

[@pieman6999]

That was gold boys, thanks!

[@obedtorres7445]

This is truly terrific content. Spectacular vid

Great guy on the back round :D :D Hitting some nice chips from the green....

[@timseebold2355]

Great content chaps! It’s always good to mix up the bounce and give yourself all the options! 👍

[@wyl3119]

Hey Ian and Matt, I stumbled upon your videos about 3 weeks ago and have since went through nearly most of your videos. Shows me how much fitting is important. I'm in Australia, but want to go to Canada just for your fittings in the future! Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@dcloder]

This was really good. I mean that's just another tour level process you guys did here. Awesome.

[@timbuma3693]

Has to be the best video you guys have ever done!!

[@timbuma3693]

Easily my favorite video, cheers boys!

[@goodymb]

Very nice, why I carry different wedges for different course conditions. As the scoring clubs, worth having the right tool for the job.

[@markk5885]

Brilliant guys, enjoyed that a lot. Loving the on course videos.

[@sturobbeatfeed]

Really useful video gents. Thanks!

[@Golfadddict]

Quality assessment of tools for the game. Excellent bunker lesson.

[@MrBrendon7]

One could only dream of getting a fitting like this. Great vid

[@cliveg8350]

As an UK expat living in Malaysia sadly do not have the chance to have a fit with the boys, however Titleist over here did a complete fit for me using EXACTLY the same format as the video. It was without doubt the best fitting I've ever had and reduced 3 strokes off my handicap. So no need to dream 😄

[@philr1924]

Really awesome guys!!

[@tjmeyer3037]

You guys do a great job covering almost everything a golfer needs. One thing I've not seen though, are LEATHER GRIPS. Are they just not worth the extra money? I would love to see, even a short snippet on LEATHER GRIP performance. Great job. Thanks for your efforts.🏌️‍♂️🙂

[@AlexNblue]

Outstanding - man a really want some new wedges!!!

[@chuckwatson366]

Spectacular video. Thanks for these insights.

[@IAM_Reedy]

I was fitted for and ordered Vokey SM8’s. In my case I chose to replace my P790 PW with an SM8 at 46.10F. My gap came in at 50.08F. My sand wedge was 54.10S and lob wedge at 60.08M. Shafts on all were the Project X LZ Black Onyx at 6.5. There were not cheap but I can’t wait to get them.

[@rogerfleming8358]

I definitely use my wedges out of the rough!!!!!!!!

[@mazzerattimike8695]

I've used mine outta tree's

[@brewssssss_]

love this lads. this is the stuff i think that will take you to the next level

Ian, matt nice job love the format today

[@sully010579]

Thanks guys! Confirmed my wedge decision.

[@steve-o5793]

Love this one great break down. I only bag two wedges 50° and 58° both at 8 bounce and it's work well so far

[@aconrod1]

Matt's so good, awesome to watch

[@Boss302ATC]

Great vid, nice to see you guys work on your tan! Matty has some wedge speed, wow those were pure bud!

[@clubchampionmedia]

[@Derek_Ryan]

Had a full wedge fit at the Titleist Tour center by the ball plant in MA and it was game changing. Played my first full round with them this weekend and arccos had me +1 strokes gained on a 0 handicap. Not bad for an 8hdcp.

[@timbuma3693]

I’ve been there for a wedge and iron fitting!

[@jacobmccain8082]

Have always been told I'm a digger. I bought two sets of SM8s this year, one with 54.10S and 58.12D for wetter conditions and one with 54.12D and 58.8M. Much prefer the 2nd set. The lower bounce on the 58 gives me a lot more options and I finally feel I can clip the ball off the turf if I need to. Most everything else is done with 54.

[@princevillekauainorthshore736]

One of my favorite videos. Hope someday to be fitted by you guys.

[@chxide55]

Great insight into fitting. Thanks much.

[@ChrisDavis333]

You’ll never find a lefty that is a bad wedge player... lefties and wedges are a match made in heaven.

Man I need to sign up for this kind of wedge fit!!! Open up the borders so I can travel!!!

[@lanmurgatroyd9503]

Please tell me that Matty thinned one out of the bunker and made that guy dance..🤣

😆 nope he was safe!

[@cubuffs5601]

I was hoping he would! What's that guy thinking?

[@cjpaul8571]

@@cubuffs5601 Probably that TXG doesn't own the short game practice area?

[@mohitlakha8867]

I'm sitting with a nice versatile set up of SM8 wedges. 50.08F set at 51.09F 54.10S set at 55.11S 60.08M Considering the new T grind from vokey to replace the 60, as the low bounce option in the 60 is quite useful and necessary. The T grind comes with 6 degrees of bounce.

[@Kunu1202]

Knowledgeable video as always!

[@troyrambo6804]

Great assortment of lofts and bounce testing. The out of the rough shortish shot was a good one. I've been moving away from my 60 to my 54 for those shots due to how the ball rides up the face even with 10 degrees of bounce on my 60. Interesting to hear that it's more a preferred lower loft shot. Good video. Need more of the outside stuff. Maybe something about how to hit approach shots off specific lies and how to select the club for the shot and why bounce on irons can be useful depending on the swing type and angle of attack of the individual.

[@ScottyK71]

Such an excellent video!

[@JordanHacheyGolf]

This was a great video. For me when I first putting my set together I had no idea what bounce or grinds were. This cleared up lot of questions I had. Makes me think of my own setup and how I can change it to help me out. I play the 718 AP1's Pitching wedge is 43 degrees the set also came with a 48 degree wedge is it worth it for me to carry a gap wedge or should I lose the 52 and free up that spot for another hybrid.

[@adavis8423]

I only carry two wedges (not including pw) in my bag 50-10 130yrds and 56-08 100yrds. A fitting like this would really help fill in the gaps!

[@hildashubby]

Grinds and bounce are what confuses the hell out of me, thank you for explaining it, boys. My question for the professional fitters and I know it is impossible to fit someone over an internet conversation. My PW is an ap1 714, standard 44 degrees, full shot from100 to 115 yards, the PW is arguably the most reliable club I have on my bag, as well as the most consistent, I fell really comfortable with that club on my hands, my other wedge set up is then a 48, from 90 to 105 yards, 52, from 70 to 85 yards and 56, from 50 to 68 yards. I have a heck of a hard time opening the face to hit flop shot and bunker shots, as well as any shots shorter than 50 yards, I have been thinking on getting a 60 or 62 to help me mostly with the bunkers and those greenside rough shots, as well as some of those, I am a digger on the full shots and a topper on the short shot, what on your opinion could I use as far as loft and bounce to help me improve my wedges and around the green shots? I am a high handicapper, so I can use all of the help in the world.

[@lawrencebogar6136]

I have the same set up (for two more weeks) I I added the 60 degree and it worked well.

[@phillipallen6169]

I'd be interested in a discussion of shafts, particularly for people with slower swing speeds like me. I have been tinkering with some of my wedges. I recently got 46 degree P wedge with an S200 shaft. The shaft is much heavier than my other P-wedge which was part of my iron set. I like the heavier shaft and feel like a get a little more help out of the chunky stuff. I think the choice has improved my stopping power around the greens. I also like it for more of the green side chip and pitch shots where I am trying to use lower lofted clubs which I think are better for distance control. I'd like your take on the kinds of shaft options available for the slower swingers.

[@mikehoffman7131]

I had an idea like this LOL. Thanks for doingit!

[@justinm4801]

This is a dream of mine to have a wedge fitting like this. Unfortunately where I live there is virtually no chance. Its show up to your local golftown and fill out a form lol. Probably the most used clubs next to your putter. Im a 2 handicap, ive guessed on wedges my whole life, i feel a proper fitting like this could take my game to the next level

[@Mj-CWO4]

Excellent video

[@meetmichaelprince]

Amazing video. Changes not only my thoughts in bounce, but also what wedges might be best in the difference scenarios. QUESTION: 56 or 60 out of the rough if it had been buried?

[@davidmccutcheon1903]

great video gents

[@michaelackley1560]

Very good vid. Now you need to go with his wedges and see what is best.

[@ohhdanni9422]

i play 10degrees of bounce in my wedges. its just good all round for different courses and through winter and summer type fairways!

[@mazzerattimike8695]

I bought the rtx 2 wedges after watching you're review of them......I've a pretty decent short game as it is......now it's better

[@richardtomalty693]

Great video. Comprehensive and very informative. Thanks. One question is that my clubs are 2 inches longer should I keep this 2 inches difference in my wedges? Does this throw off the balance too much. I like it on my 9 and W irons.

[@hatchhatchhatch]

probably the best explaination of bounce and loft for wedges i've seen on youtube, great work as usual Ian & Matt. Personally running vokeys 50.08F, 56.10M and 60.08M and i'm not sure if it gets any better. Maybe for next time talk about what else you can do with grinds on the 60 degree. I've been considering the cobra with the tri bounce for the 60 or maybe even the PM grind from callaway, possibly just for the ability to open the face allllll the way for the very short sided situations also is Matt still working with Larry on his swing?

[@Jjwalways70]

Great vid guys , wedges are more specialized than our irons , interesting how much difference the bounces make .

[@tomduckworth8335]

Very good one guys. Just from the standpoint of picking the right club for the job. I see too many golfers reaching for the lob wedge all the time trying to be Phil.

[@M82RKY]

Great video but I'm a high handicapper and inconsistent, sounds like keeping a happy medium 10 bounce with a versatile grind

[@stevelafara6953]

Awesome video! What can a person do if they don’t have anyone close by that can go through this extensive of a fitting? Only options here are indoors on artificial turf. Can get really expensive just guessing what the best options are.

[@claytonpetree527]

I would love a fitting like this someday. Been hitting my 47* PW, 54* SW, 60* LOB for a long time. However, since I hit the 60* LW extremely high and an average of 119.5m (130y) on trackman, you can imagine the stupid gaps I have going from the 60 to the 54 then to the 47 or 48 PW. I, unfortunately, have to go with fittings done indoor on a trackman with standard "wedge" shafts. Thinking 64/58/53/48 might be a sweet set of gaps to me, all with S400 or shafts matching the irons might be the way to go. I am definitely a high bounce fan, playing mostly near Vancouver BC and in Norway Unfortunately, this C19 BS has really put a damper on my golf and travel for now :(

[@rubensnaves]

So it does make sense to have a low bounce LW for firm turf and sand .... and a high bounce SW for those extra soft bunkers and turf ?

[@clubchampionmedia]

absolutely could be a nice setup

[@annefilippobertozzi7601]

@@clubchampionmedia what about high bounce LW and medium bounce SW?

[@rickcudmore8156]

Great content guys. Hopefully the Mississauga facility will be open in early spring as I want to book a fitting.

[@clubchampionmedia]

It’s open now.

[@jessehughes3877]

How important is the shaft in a wedge? Most discussion about wedges have to do with loft and bounce. Do the wedge shafts get a "fitting" like in other irons? They touch on it at the end (mostly the weight of the shaft), but I was curious if I should stick with wedge specific shafts when purchasing? Thanks for the great content.

[@johnobrien5011]

Great video again lads. I would really like if ye could do a video with Taylormade P790 irons. I am currently playing a set of Taylormade SLDR irons and looking to upgrade and I really like the P790

[@gbaxy]

What are your thoughts on the Low bounce/wide sole as a mix of both? Vokey K and Jaws W spring to mind

[@xNIKEGOLFx]

Just ordered vokey wedgeworks Low bounce K. Wide sole + low bounce = perfection

[@erikgracer6508]

Do the different grinds make a difference? seemed like the main factors in ball flight, playability were loft and bounce.

[@nerdalert545]

I'm thinking of going from my 52/56/60 wedges to a 54. Not sure if I should go with a 58 or 60 degree for the second. I'd rather practice and hit two well than three decently. Any recommendations?

[@aartvdmolen]

I am senior HCP 40 golfer playing Ping G410 irons with UST Mamiya Recoil F3 shafts @ max 78mph club speed. PW is 44,5 degrees and full PW shot is around 100y. Which Vokey SM8 50/54/58°wedge shafts would you guys recommend ?

Great video

[@matty7901]

Did you guys ever do the "WedgeOff" with the Cleveland Zipcore wedges???

[@tylerfj24]

IAN, if we come to TXG for a fitting (wedge) do you take us outdoors like this for the correct fitting?? most if not all places i have contacted only want to do the indoor portion of the wedge,.... no place i can find does a full outdoor wedge fitting with shorts, sand, rough, etc..

[@stevencarrier5060]

I tried going back to find it, but what bounce should I use for a course that usually has tight lies and I usually take zero divot.
