Smart Shopping For Wedges
Callaway Big Bertha
The Big Bertha wedge provides an outstanding value for all golfers, whether they are longtime competitors or new to the game. The Big Bertha has a forgiving club head. To a new golfer, this means you don't have to have a perfect swing to hit the ball well. (Average price in 2009: $74)
Ben Hogan Apex
The face of the Hogan wedge is not as big as the Big Bertha's, but it is a "clean" club that is somewhat light in weight. The club is good for golfers who don't want to swing heavy clubs but still want to get the ball in the air and have it go where they want it to go. The keyword many pros use to describe the Hogan is "responsive." (Average price in 2009: $71)
Wilson TW9
The Wilson wedge may be the ideal club for intermediate-level golfers who are trying to get their game to a new level. The TW9 has machine-milled grooves that allow you to put maximum spin on the ball, and this will help the ball stop sharply. This is exactly what most golfers want to happen when their ball lands on the green. (Average price in 2009: $99)
