Hands up...

...if the only time you 'practice' your wedge play is when you hit a few shots at the start of your warm-up routine? Sadly, this isn't going to lead to a dialled in wedge game, which is one of the fastest ways to see your scores come tumbling down.

1 club. 3 swings. 3 distances.

Sounds easy, right? Well, it could be but first there are two things you must do in order to start saving shots.

1. Correctly gapped wedge system - What we mean by this is having an equal gap between each club in your bag, so you're never left trying to 'manufacture' a shot on the golf course (this is where large numbers start). Callaway's Mack Daddy 4 wedges are perfect for exactly this reason, coming in a range of lofts from 46 (PW) to 64 (LW) degrees so you have every distance covered with your wedges.

2. Have 3 distances with each club - As per the graphic above, if you became comfortable with full, three-quarter and half swings with each of your wedges, you’ll find that your wedge play becomes seriously more effective.

So now you know the secrets to lower scores, it’s time to utilise our expertise and professional advice in order to start unlocking your full potential with your wedge play. Come and speak to a member of the team next time you're at the club.

Spotlight: Titleist TS1 driver

The TS Project was undertaken with one key objective in mind: to deliver more speed than ever before, which equates to greater distance.

Well, after the phenomenal success of both TS2 and TS3 since their introduction late last year, Titleist has just launched TS1 which offers a higher launch and maximum distance for moderate swing speeds.

Will it be suited to your swing? There's only one way to find out...
