OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME

Wedges. Other than putters, the one category where distance is last on the priority list. Instead, accuracy, consistency and spin efficiency are of utmost importance.

Here are the best wedges of 2022. Let’s take a look!

MOST WANTED SCORING

We have reformulated our 2022 Most Wanted results to a 100-point scoring system. This new system better identifies golf clubs to potentially help you shoot lower scores.

For wedges, we’ve split our key metrics into three categories: accuracy, consistency and spin. Each category is weighted through proprietary methodologies.

Titleist has added AVX and Pro V1x to its RCT golf ball lineup.RCT balls provide better spin capture in indoor settings.Retail price is $64.99 a dozen. Available now.

While I’m sure many were hoping that Titleist’s next big ball announcement would be the full retail availability of the Pro V1 Left Dot, the addition of AVX and Pro V1x Left Dash to the RCT lineup will have to serve as the next best thing.

About RCT Golf Balls

As a quick refresher, Titleist debuted RCT (radar capture technology) earlier this year with the release of Pro V1 RCT and Pro V1x RCT.

Developed by Titleist in partnership with TrackMan, the idea behind RCT is to provide better spin resolution and, ultimately, more reliable spin data in indoor and limited-flight environments where the ability of Doppler-based launch monitors to accurately capture spin rates is otherwise a little dicey.

The key to the technology is a special mark printed on the mantle layer (under the urethane cover) of the golf ball. In addition to eliminating the need for one of those silly metal dot stickers, RCT simply works better.
