Gap wedge-Gap wedge-In golf, a gap wedge, also known as an approach wedge, is a wedge used to hit a shot with higher and shorter trajectory than a pitching wedge and lower and longer trajectory than a sand wedge. The name derives from the club's design to fill the "gap" between sand and pitching wedges. | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Gap wedge-History-Over time the loft angle on irons in matched sets has been reduced for multiple reasons.
