HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WEDGE FOR YOUR SHORT GAME
Loft, bounce, feel, and course conditions all play a role in choosing a wedge setup that fits your game.
IT'S MORE THAN JUST LOFT
YOUR SHORT GAME DEMANDS MORE FROM YOUR WEDGES.
The short game asks you to hit a lot of different shots.
One hole might require a controlled approach. The next might leave you with a delicate pitch, a bunker shot, or a tight lie around the green.
That's why choosing a wedge shouldn't come down to loft alone.
The right wedge setup should complement your swing, the conditions you normally play, and the shots you rely on most.
START WITH LOFT.
Loft is one of the first things golfers look at when choosing a wedge, but the goal isn't simply to add more wedges to the bag.
The goal is to create useful spacing between them.
Look at the loft of the shortest iron in your current set and consider how your wedges will progress from there. A well-planned setup can give you more predictable options as you get closer to the green.
DON'T JUST ASK
“What loft should I buy?”
ASK INSTEAD
“What role does this wedge need to play in my bag?”
DON'T OVERLOOK BOUNCE.
Bounce affects how the sole of the wedge interacts with the turf and sand.
The right amount of bounce can help the club move through the ground more effectively rather than digging excessively.
Your ideal setup can depend on several factors:
Your swing and angle of attack
The firmness or softness of the courses you play
The types of lies you regularly encounter
The shots you prefer around the green
There isn't one bounce configuration that's perfect for every golfer.
BUILT FOR THE SCORING END OF THE BAG
EVERY SHOT ASKS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
From controlled approaches to delicate shots around the green, your wedges should give you options when the course demands them.
THINK ABOUT THE SHOTS YOU ACTUALLY PLAY.
Your wedge setup should reflect your game—not somebody else's.
Think about the situations you encounter most often.
ASK YOURSELF:
Understanding how you actually use your wedges can make choosing the right setup much easier.
FEEL MATTERS.
A wedge is one of the clubs where feedback can matter most.
On partial swings, pitches, chips, and shots around the green, golfers rely heavily on feel and confidence.
The Scripps Golf SG3 is forged with an emphasis on precision, feedback, and control—giving golfers a wedge designed for the scoring end of the bag.
CHOOSE THE FINISH THAT FITS YOU.
Performance matters, but there's nothing wrong with wanting a wedge that looks right in your bag too.
Scripps offers the SG3 in two distinctive finishes:
BLACK DLC
Bold. Dark. Purposeful.
NICKEL CHROMIUM
Clean. Classic. Timeless.
DIFFERENT LOOKS. SAME SG3 DNA.
BUILD A SETUP YOU CAN TRUST
YOUR WEDGES SHOULD FIT YOUR GAME.
There isn't one perfect wedge setup for every golfer. The right combination comes from understanding your distances, swing, course conditions, and the shots you want available when you get around the green.
That's also why Scripps Golf goes beyond simply offering another wedge.
Whether you're choosing an SG3 or creating something personal through Custom Wedge Works, the goal is the same:
Build a wedge setup you can trust when the shot matters.
