The Pitch according to Bobby (1) The 4 wedges We are with Bobby Eldridge to try to improve our Pitch blows ; Before entering into Bobby's explanations about the Pitch swing we will review your advice on the wedges that should be in your bag.
THE 4 WEDGES
Bobby recommends a bag with 4 wedges . Yes, yes, four wedges. A Lob wedge of 60 ° , one Sand wedge of 56º a Gap wedge of 52º and Pitching wedge of 48 ° ; He insists that the scale between them is 4º.

With these 4 wedges I have a margin of 10 yards between one and another ; It is my case, but each one must know what his is; The most important thing is to know how much farther you get with each wedge, when you do the full swing, you do half swing or make it short. " To know it is enough to practice with a dozen balls and measure the average distance you achieve in each case. I have started practicing it and I hope the results are shown in a post
