The Ryder Cup is in the books, and the start of autumn is bringing cooler temperatures and softer conditions to many parts of the country. In the Northeast and Midwest, morning dew is hanging on the grass longer and bunkers are retaining moisture deeper into the day, making the sand around the greens heavier.
Pros on the PGA Tour often obtain fresh wedges every four to six weeks because they practice short game shots so often and play several times a week. The grooves in their sand wedges and lob wedges lose their sharpness, and when competing on firm, fast greens surrounded by thick rough, sharp grooves are a must. Recreational golfers, on the other hand, often use wedges until the grooves are as smooth as glass, disregarding their loss of spin and control.
If you are in the market for new wedges, here are seven models that have been released in 2021 you might want to try.
