Dry. Your. Wedges. 💧Honestly, before we did this test, I didn’t dry mine, either.
Golf
But, after seeing these results I don’t play without a towel on hand
Our wedge testing revealed some huge changes in spin rates and launch angles when moisture is introduced - affecting your distances.
You and I both know trusting your yardages is key to scoring.
👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾 Almost 100% of the shots you hit in a round of golf will have SOME moisture on either the club, ground or ball.
Consistent spin is very important can be the difference between a 5 ft putt and a 20-ft putt.
WET WEDGE DATA:
- 20 testers
- 18 wedges
- 17,000 shots
- @titleist Pro V1
- @foresightsports QC Quad
📍SPIN = 30% spin loss ⬇️
📍LAUNCH: 4.6 degree higher ⬆️
* The worst wedges in this test lost 60% spin
* The best wedge was the @PingTour Glide 4.0
THE TAKEAWAY:
If you are losing 65% spin, consistent distance control is unlikely. If your approach shot is not spinning, you’ll probably see your ball end up farther from the hole than you expect.
The good news is that the best-performing wedges are almost identical under wet conditions 🤝
Keep this in mind next time you’re in the market for a new wedge
Hope this helps 🙏🏽
