I often get asked what wedge and grind setup I use and how I alter the bounce angle to my advantage around the greens.

In this video, I take you through my exact wedge setup, how you should get custom fit for wedges, how high and low bounce options affect your ability to make a good strike on different ground conditions and how to select the right club in bunkers!

I hope you like this video and learn a lot from it!

  • I've watched every single video on your channel at least once... but I still giggle every single time when you casually get interrupted by holing out and say "ah. there you go, in the hole". It not only shows you can practice what you preach, but you can do it at a high level and explain it very well. What I would give to have a lesson with you. Let me know if you're ever in Cape Town!
  • Solid gold advice again... I hurt a little though because i just switched from 56/60 to 54/58!!! I should have watched this first. LOL
  • Resonating from your previous advice I’ve stuck with pitching wedge and 9 iron rounds the greens and shot my best score of 80 on a medal this week, unless it’s really necessary the wedges stay in the bag . But when the time comes and you need these shots this advice is massive ,thank you❤
  • I think my bounce is the cause for additional distance from tight lies. Thanks Dan

    This is awesome. i have all my wedges out and as Dans explained differnt functions, im holding my wedges up and checking to see what im looking at, lol any Athlete has these releases in them, i just never knew when and why lol. im glued to him, my rug in living room has a bare spot from my crazy brain jumping up and giving it a go lol, omg , golf, say what you want, but definitely artistry in my head. my mind set now ,after power waching Dan for a week, i believe i can get on the green or at least a 1 putt from anywhere, lol completely differnt on the course , but dreaming a good thing. Thank you Dan, really sincerely, Thank you. i have a completely new out look on golf, pumped up.

    Thanks Dan, looking forward to reading the book! It’s the only thing on my birthday list 😊
  • After buying Dan's book my 56 is my highest loft wedge. Release 2 is higher and better spin than how i was cutting across my old 60.
  • Hi Dan, thanks for the video's always learn something. Here in New Zealand we have a lot of Kikuyu grass, and when it is a bit heavier I find it quite difficult to chip out of, as I find the club gets caught severely in the grass. I have tried implementing your toe-down method, with some success. If you have a moment maybe a quick video on how you would attack these chips around the greens. Thanks again.
  • Dan is a very good teacher who does not make bombastic claims about making dramatic improvements to your game.

    Been waiting for a guild on this! Looking forward to it ❤

    Great to hear that a lot of this is personal. I went from high bounce heavy (125g) shaft wedges to lighter shaft (105g) low bounce wedges last year, and it really works for me to feel the head being heavier than before. I use a 54 and 58. 58 (S23 with very aggressive X grind) is my sand wedge and heavy rough emergency. 54 is the jack of all trades except bunker. Especially out of a greenside bunker I've been deadly successful since, opening the club a lot. if the bunker sand is damp and packed, the low bounce still slides under the ball, and in fluffy dry sand it cuts it like a knife. Never got fitted for wedges (yet) so getting the complete opposite of my old wedges was a bit of a gamble based solely on my natural 'nippy' shallow angle of attack.

    Great video, Dan! Would love to see you experiment with TM's TW grind wedges.
  • Thank you Dan, great stuff! CAN'T WAIT until TaylorMade gets the MG4 grooves on the next full face wedge. Love that they took into account groove wear/durability with the design too.
