How AI wedge fitting works
AI wedge fitting builds your scoring setup backwards from the one number that actually matters: how far you carry your pitching wedge. Tell the tool your PW carry plus a little about your turf and short-game style, and it maps out the wedge lofts, bounce, and grinds that fill your gaps without leaving a big hole between your PW and your first wedge.
It is free, takes about a minute, and needs no login. You do not need a launch monitor, though a measured PW carry gives the sharpest result. If you only know your PW carry by feel, that is fine as a directional starting point and you can refine it later.
Why your pitching wedge carry sets everything
Your wedges are not a standalone set. They are the bottom of your iron ladder, so the first job is to anchor on your real PW carry and avoid a yardage cliff right below it. A common mistake is buying a 56 and a 60 off the rack while carrying a strong 43-degree PW, which leaves a 30-plus yard gap you have to swing hard to cover.
Most players want roughly even gaps of about 10 to 15 yards between scoring clubs. The tool takes your PW loft and carry, then spaces the next wedges so each one has a clear full-swing number. That is what wedge gapping really means: no two clubs fighting for the same distance, and no awkward dead zone you have to manufacture a shot for.
Bounce and grind, in plain English
Bounce is the angle on the sole that keeps the club from digging into the turf. Low bounce (about 4 to 8 degrees) suits firm turf, tight lies, and players who sweep the ball with a shallow swing. High bounce (about 10 to 14 degrees) suits soft turf, fluffy sand, and players who take a deep divot. Grind is how the sole is shaped and ground away at the heel and toe, which lets you open the face for flop and greenside shots without the leading edge lifting off the ground.
The wedge bounce selector inside this tool matches bounce and grind to the conditions you actually play and the way you deliver the club, instead of guessing. Get this wrong and you either chunk it on soft turf with too little bounce or blade it off firm turf with too much. The two questions that drive it are your typical turf and whether you tend to dig or sweep.
Frequently asked questions
- How many wedges should I carry?
- Most golfers carry three or four wedges, usually a pitching wedge plus two or three of a gap, sand, and lob wedge. The right number depends on your PW loft and how much yardage you need to cover down to your highest-lofted wedge. If your gaps come out to more than 15 yards apart with three wedges, adding a fourth fills the hole. The tool tells you which setup keeps your gaps even.
- What loft gaps should I have between my wedges?
- Aim for about 4 to 6 degrees of loft between wedges, which usually translates to 10 to 15 yards of carry between them. So a 46-degree PW pairs well with a 50, 54, and 58, or a 52 and 56 for a three-wedge setup. Even gaps matter more than hitting specific lofts, because the goal is no large dead zone in your scoring range.
- How do I choose wedge bounce?
- Match bounce to your turf and your swing. Play higher bounce (10 to 14 degrees) if you take deep divots or play soft turf and fluffy sand, and lower bounce (4 to 8 degrees) if you sweep the ball, play firm turf, or hit a lot of tight lies. Most players are safe with mid bounce around 8 to 10 degrees on their most-used wedge. The wedge bounce selector in this tool picks for you based on how you actually play.
- Do I need a launch monitor for AI wedge fitting?
- No. The tool works from your pitching wedge carry, which you can estimate from on-course experience. A measured PW carry from a launch monitor gives the sharpest gapping because everything is built off that number, but a self-reported carry still gives you a solid directional starting point you can dial in over time.
