What is a "Gap" Wedge exactly? Do I need one?

Here is an example of a standard Gap Wedge (also called an "A" wedge)
I was first introduced to the gap wedge when a fellow golfer said, "I just love my 52 degree. I use it for almost everything within 100 yards and especially when chipping around the green." I had to learn more about this magical club.

I found out that most sets come with irons through PW and then many players will add in a sand wedge. The problem is that a pitching wedge is 48* of loft and a sand wedge is 56*.  This leaves a pretty big gap in clubs. I bet you can guess where the name came from. You bet, the gap wedge fills the gap left between those two clubs.

To me the more important part is how much easier I can control the gap wedge from 100 yards and in.  Give it a try and see if it becomes your "go to money" club for your short game.

Lucky for you we have our end of the month clearance sale on gap wedges right now. Starting on auction at just $0.99! Pick one up here:
