Wedge Fitting

A wedge that spun the ball well in the shop can lose real stopping power after a season of use, and most golfers don't find out until a shot from 100 yards that used to check releases three extra steps.

What We Capture

Fresh Grooves, Worn Grooves, Real Turf

Candidate wedges are captured at the Release Bay against a groove-wear comparison set — a fresh face and a deliberately worn one — so spin decay gets measured directly instead of estimated from a spec sheet number.

Bounce and grind options are then tested against your actual attack angle and the turf conditions you play most often, since a bounce number that performs on firm fairway turf can dig on softer ground.

The Variables

What Actually Changes in a Wedge Fitting

Bounce & Grind Matching

Matched to your attack angle and the turf firmness you play most often, rather than a single stock bounce number carried across the whole set.

Groove Spin Decay

How much spin a face loses as grooves wear down, tracked so a replacement interval can be set before stopping power quietly disappears from your short game.

Loft Gapping Across the Set

Pitching wedge through lob wedge spaced for even distance steps, checked against real carry data rather than an assumed four-degree interval.

Sole Width & Camber

Wider, more cambered soles resist digging on firm turf; narrower soles suit players who take a steeper divot on approach shots.

Shaft & Swing Weight

Wedge shafts often run heavier than the irons above them for a reason — we confirm that weight step still matches your tempo on partial and full swings alike.

Grind Versatility

Some grinds open up more usable bounce for greenside variety; others favor consistency on a single, repeatable shot. We match the grind to how you actually play around the green.

Stop Losing Spin Before You Notice It

Sessions run 45–60 minutes and include a fresh-versus-worn groove comparison on your current wedges.
