The importance of a strong short game can never be understated. I was always told s a junior golfer that working on your short game will make you a better, more rounded golfer. Bing tidy around the greens can knock a whole load of shots off your round, and bring that handicap right down. To do this there are five things you must consider before buying a new wedge.

1. Club Feel
Make sure you check how you feel with the finish of a wedge before you buy and then put in your bag.
Often the colour/finish will look amazing on the shelf or at address in the club shop or golf shop. But, as soon as you get out there on the course the varying head shapes and colours will affect your perception in relation to the ball.
