Pitching wedge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pitching wedge is a kind of golf club.
Pitching wedges make great chippers from the fringe of the playing area and are very useful on bump-and-run approaches. These clubs are also commonly used for recovery from trouble and punching out of the trees. Modern pitching wedges range in loft from 42 to 49 degrees and have between zero and 10 degrees of bounce. As the end of an iron set, the pitching wedge acts like a 10-iron. They're in the normal loft progression of the set and are designed for use on full shots. The distance a pitching wedge goes is between 100 and 130 yards.
