Choose a ladies golf wedge based on the lofts already in your bag, the distance gaps you need to fill and the short game shots you play most often.
Most golfers should start with a gap wedge and sand wedge before adding a lob wedge or 60 degree wedge.
A pitching wedge is usually used for fuller approach shots. A gap wedge fills the distance between pitching wedge and sand wedge. A sand wedge is useful for bunkers, pitches and chips. A lob wedge gives higher, softer shots around the green.
Each wedge should have a clear role in your bag.
Lofts vary by brand and model. Pitching wedges are often in the mid 40 degree range, gap wedges are commonly around 50 to 52 degrees, sand wedges are often around 54 to 56 degrees, and lob wedges are usually around 58 to 60 degrees.
Always check the individual club listing because lofts can vary.
Yes, used ladies golf wedges are worth buying if they are properly checked, graded and suited to your short game. A second hand ladies wedge can offer strong value compared with buying new.
Pay close attention to loft, bounce, condition and groove wear.
Buy a ladies gap wedge if you have a distance gap below your pitching wedge. Buy a ladies sand wedge if you need a versatile club for bunkers, chips and pitches. Buy a ladies lob wedge if you need higher, softer shots around the green.
For most golfers, a gap wedge and sand wedge are the best starting point.
Ladies golf wedges may have lighter shafts, softer flexes or slightly different lengths compared with men’s wedges. The head design and loft can be similar, but the overall setup may feel easier to swing.
The right wedge depends on fit, feel and performance, not only whether it is labelled ladies or men’s.
