Wedges share common traits: They look fairly conventional, the grooves impart spin, and the soles are designed to interact with the turf. The wedges on this year’s Hot List, however, offer way more. They have over 200 loft/bounce combinations and come in a variety of sole grinds to fit a variety of swing needs. Also, the groove design of lower-lofted models differs from higher-lofted ones because the amount of spin necessary changes. If all of this is too technical for your tastes, then consider a wedge designed to streamline these choices. In other words, the wedges on our list are anything but common.
