What Are Illegal Golf Wedges? If you play in soft conditions, wedges with high bounce are useful. On the other hand, if you play in firm conditions, look for low bounce. While a mid-bounce option is typically a safe play, mixing a variety of bounce options across your wedge set will give you the versatility to hit any shot the course presents.

In the golfing world, the terms “illegal” or “non-conforming” are used to describe equipment that does not meet the stringent standards set by the sport’s governing bodies. While golfers have been conditioned to consider wedge spin to the exclusion of nearly everything else, we always recommended looking at more than that. The spinniest wedge is not always going to be your best wedge. That being said, assess your own game to make sure you’re replacing your wedges often enough. For tour pros, that’s several times a year. For the rest of us, not as often although avid golfers should consider replacing wedges annually. And if you’re like me, you’ve been trying to replicate that since you first started playing the game. And maybe some of you can do it.

The 52 Indi tops out around 105 which was nice to have another full swing and became my default from there down to 70-80 yards given the strong performance I felt I was seeing on course. Upon final review of my approach stats, my 48 produced 9% higher GIR (66 vs 57) from up to 10 yards further from the green with 6ft closer proximity to hole (37 vs 44) and 0.1 fewer strokes to hole out. This is strictly based on Strokes Gained. Think of strokes gained as how each participating golf club or wedge performs relative to the field. Not only is this for full-swing shots, it also accounts for shots from 50-yards in both dry and wet conditions. While these features can make a wedge extremely attractive for a player, they’re generally deemed to confer too significant an advantage to be allowed in official play.
