Golf News, Source, GolfStuffReview.com.- 70% of shots in golf are from 120 yards and in. Therefore wedges are vital to everyone's game and are essentially a scoring club. They can create birdies from fairways or save pars around the greens, but can also cause huge problems for golfers who struggle inside 120 yards. It is essential that the wedges you carry in your bag add to your game and assist scoring.

Wedges appear basic clubs that are not as advanced in terms of technology, as a Driver or Iron, but this is untrue. Different types of wedges along with varying specifications mean you can really research and discover a wedge that is exactly suited to your game.

For full swing shots, I found the Wilson TW7 wedge to have a very soft feel and be fairly easy to hit--at least more so than my old 56 degree. I've had a tendency in the past to hit sand wedges thin or fat. The Wilson wedge improved on that.

On harder lies, I still had the same tendency to hit the ball thin with the Wilson as with my other wedge--but to a lesser degree. But for full swing shots from rough or soft fairway, I'd rate the Wilson TW7's performance as exceptional, and with a noticeable difference from my other equipment. I could still get the same 90 yards with it that I get from my old 56, but with a softer feel and better spin on the ball. The ball even spun backwards on a couple occasions, and I'd never been able to get that result in the past.

The Wilson TW7 wedge has Grooves cut as sharp, deep and wide as USGA® standards allow provide maximum spin and control around the green.

For Chips and Pitches, much is the same as with full swing shots. The Wilson was exceptional out of rough and mushy stuff--even tall grass. For hard pan lies, I had less success, but still better than before.

Sand performance was outstanding. I'd never rate my bunker performance as anything better than below average, but the Wilson's making the thought of being in sand much less intimidating. The club glides nicely through the sand to get just enough ball to clear the lip and land softly on the green--and stay where it's supposed to.

Bunker play was never this easy. In the past, I had a tendency to leave the ball in the sand or hit too thin and sky the target. A big performance jump with the Wilson here-and much less business for my sports psychologist when it comes to sand play. This in itself is worth the price of the club.

In other words, my results with the Wilson wedge were not only positive, they were GREAT !!

"For your higher handicapper, you'll probably go with a little more bounce, a little bit wider flange to keep him from 'digging in'-because he's probably got a steeper swing. Maybe Try the Wilson harmonized Wedge.

If you are looking for a precise instrument to aggressively attack the pin. This is the club for you !!
