Learn more about measured versus effective bounce for PXG Wedges in this “Tech Tuesday” YouTube video with PXG Senior R&D Engineer Caleb Kroloff. This combination works well for players who like to have some forward shaft lean on chips and fuller shots or for those who have a steep angle of attack. The Sugar Daddy 07 Sole has a much steeper initial angle than the 09, paired with a more forward contact point and significant heel relief. It has a moderate initial angle with a blended sole that performs well in a variety of playing conditions. The Sugar Daddy 09 Sole is a traditional, versatile design. Effective bounce takes this bounce angle into account along with several other factors to give an overall description of how the wedge performs. The wedge ball flight is high and seemingly weak compared to every other short iron or wedge in my bag. My gaps are very good in general, but the 790 PW, even bent 1 strong, still doesnt gap properly to the 9 iron ( 40) for me. The number designations, 09 and 07, refer to “effective bounce.” The bounce of a club is a measurement of the angle between the sole and the ground. The 790s are really solid clubs but Im not a huge fan of the PW. PXG Sugar Daddy 100% Milled WedgesĪvailable in lofts of 50 through 64 degrees with 2-degree increments and two sole designs (the 09 and 07), the Sugar Daddy is precision engineered for unbelievable performance. Changing loft by one degree generally changes carry distance by roughly two to three yards. The easiest way to adjust your distance is with loft. Proper gapping makes sure that no two clubs go similar distances. As golfers, we are limited to 14 clubs and we want to cover a large range of distances with minimal intervals. Gapping is important to maximize the utility of each club. In this scenario, you should have lofts set to hit your sand wedge 100 yards, gap wedge 115 yards, and pitching wedge 130 yards. That means you need to cover 60 yards across four wedges in 15-yard gaps. You hit your 60-degree wedge 85 yards and your 9 iron 145 yards. Take the gap between those two distances and divide it by how many wedges you plan to carry. Then determine how far you hit your 9 iron. For wedge gapping you want to identify the highest lofted club you plan to carry (generally 58 or 60 degrees) and how far you hit it on a full swing. The size of the gap depends on how much speed you have. Gapping refers to the intervals between your shot distances with different clubs. Unlocking performance with proper golf club gapping is particularly important for your wedge game in and around the greens.
