Struggling inside 100 yards? A wedge fitting can solve that problem 

You hit a great drive, leaving yourself in prime position in the middle of the fairway, 90 yards out. And then…you come up short. Or long. Or you thin it. Or chunk it. Suddenly, your birdie look turns into a scramble for par…or worse. 

Sound familiar? 

The truth is that most golfers lose more strokes inside 100 yards than anywhere else. That’s not because your swing is broken; it’s because your scoring clubs aren’t doing you any favors. Whether it’s poor gapping, the wrong bounce or you just have the wrong tool for the shot, your wedges might be holding you back. 

That’s where a proper wedge fitting comes in. 

Wedges are a system, not just random lofts in the bag 

Here’s the deal: fewer wedges in the bag means you’re forced into more uncomfortable swings. Think half-swing gap wedges from 72 yards. Think 54° sand wedges that you’ve got to feather 40 yards and hope they check. That’s not exactly high-percentage golf for most of us. 

But when your wedges are properly spaced — say, 4- to 5-degree gaps between each — you get full-swing options that match your numbers. You stop guessing. You start trusting. And you end up hitting it closer to the pin more often. 

A solid wedge setup might look like this: 

– PW at 43-46° 

– Gap wedge at 48-52° 

– Sand wedge at 54-56° 

– Lob wedge at 58-62° 

That covers a ton of ground, lets you swing more freely, and gives you dedicated tools for different lies, turf and shots around the green. All fit to cover the gaps you need to cover. 

Why getting fit for wedges actually matters 

A wedge fitting isn’t just about checking off lofts. It’s about matching bounce and grind to how you deliver the club. Are you a digger or a sweeper? Do you play soft turf or firm, fast fairways? Do you open the face a lot or hit it square? 

At True Spec, they’ll dig into all of that. You get to test different heads, lofts, bounces, and grinds on a launch monitor, while the fitter builds out a wedge system that covers your distances and works with your swing tendencies. It’s like blueprinting your short game setup, so when you’re 85 yards out, you don’t have to guess. You just pull the right club and make a swing you trust.

Your game can’t afford not to get fit

If you’re serious about lowering your scores, stop treating your wedges like an afterthought. These clubs live in the scoring zone, the part of the game where birdies are made and big numbers are avoided. A properly fit wedge setup isn’t just about lofts and bounces — it’s about confidence. It’s about stepping into every shot inside 100 yards knowing you’ve got the right tool in your hands and a swing you don’t have to manipulate. 

This month, get fit. Build a system. And give yourself every opportunity to turn approach shots into birdie putts, and short-game saves into tap-ins. 

Your scoring clubs should be your strongest weapons. Let True Spec help you get them there. Book your fitting, build your system, and own your scoring zone.
