75 yards? Up-and-down for me...

The majority of golfers know how far they hit their driver and irons with a full swing, but wedges require you to be a lot more accurate if you want to start shooting better scores. So, whilst it can be useful to know how far a full PW or LW goes, you'll benefit far more from dialling in your wedges so you can hit specific distances that you regularly find yourself with on the course.

Give yourself options

You'll notice that different swings with each wedge will result in yardages that overlap - see table above. This is important as it'll give you options when considering the conditions. For example, if you're facing a strong breeze, we'd suggest going up a club and utilising a shorter swing so the ball flies lower with less spin, helping it to penetrate through the wind.

Dial in with Callaway

We'd recommend having a wedge system of the same brand and model, so you remove any variables in feel and spin across wedges.

One model that we love is Callaway’s Mack Daddy 4 wedge. Its new Groove-In-Groove technology provides brilliant control and spin no matter if you're playing from the rough or the fairway, whilst 21 loft-bounce combinations give us a fantastic array of options to pick from when finding you the perfect set-up to improve your wedge play.

Be honest...

How many of you have gone years without replacing the grips on your clubs? For some of us, the only time we hold onto a new grip is when we've just upgraded our clubs when, in fact, it is something we should be doing at least once a year. With this in mind, are all grips essentially the same?

Golf Pride ALIGN grip

The answer to the above question is no. Many of you will have experienced a Tour Velvet grip on your clubs over the years (black with a white logo down the bottom), but the innovative new ALIGN grip offers so much more. Its raised ridge on the back, coupled with tactile texture, allows you to feel where your hands are placed everytime for consistent results on every shot.

Golf Pride CP2 Wrap grip

We know that a lot of golfers prefer a softer feeling grip at address, which is where the brilliant CP2 Wrap from Golf Pride comes in. Its high-tack surface and ultrasoft rubber offer enjoyable comfort and control on every shot.

We want you to experience these first-hand, so head in-store and claim a FREE grip today.

Spotlight: UltraFIT Boa golf shoe

If you are yet to make the switch from laces to Boa, now is the perfect chance with the soon-to-be-launched FootJoy UltraFIT Boa golf shoe.

The Boa Fit System delivers a fast, precise fit in just a few turns of the dial, providing you with lasting comfort from the 1st tee to the 18th green. Couple this with the usual quality and performance you'd expect from a FootJoy shoe, and you have one of the best shoes on the market for 2019.

Video of the Week

PING has been at the forefront of golf equipment for decades now and their latest G410 driver promises to be something truly special. In this video, Foremost TV take a closer look at its performance, and compare it against the trusty G driver from three years ago (2016).

Have a great weekend, happy golfing!
