Best Wedges For Beginners 2018: Top 5+ Recommended

Golf can be an interesting and challenging game for those who understand it and know the importance of each Club. For those who are new and are yet to get a grip of the game, a wrong selection of the clubs possibly put an end to your golf venture. It is for this reason that we intend to give you all the details and help required in picking the best wedges for beginners.

What Are The Types

They are broadly classified into four types – the pitching wedge, the sand wedge, the gap wedge and the lob wedge. These irons come in handy when the ball is stuck in some tight spot or even in the sand. It is designed in such a way that it can dig the ball out of some soft lies.

Pitching Wedge – When the ball is stuck in a rough spot, and the player needs to bring it out to the green, or if there is some distance to be covered, this wedge can help. The ball can be played from the bunker too, with this wedge. It can provide more distance than the sand wedge.

Sand Wedge – What would you do when the ball is stuck in the sand? It is not easy to get it out and make it go some decent distance. This is where the best sand wedge comes in and specializes in sand play. It can be used in sand bunkers and other soft lies too.

Gap Wedge – These are the second highest lofted wedges. This iron helps the beginners to get a better range with their shots. As a beginner, one has neither mastered the right swings nor the techniques required to hit the ball a desired distance. Hence a Gap Wedge that can give a better range can improve both the confidence level of the player and the game itself.

Lob Wedge – When the ball is required to be carried a short distance before another iron can be used to launch it high and far, the lob wedge can be used. This iron can be very useful when the ball is stuck in a tight spot, where one cannot really hit the ball. Though it can be used with a full Swing, it is more commonly used with a chip shot when the ball is quite close to the green.

How To Clean And Maintain Your Electric Guitar Fretboard

Finished and Unfinished Fretboards The guitar community is torn in a debate about whether the material of a fretboard makes any difference. Some believe that a rosewood fretboard is markedly different from ebony, while others say there’s hardly any difference. But when it comes to cleaning, you will need to be cautious. Primarily, the focus is on fretboard cleaning, but other guitar parts are involved, like the neck and tuning pegs. And if your electric guitar has a fretboard that uses unfinished wood, things are tricky, demanding extreme caution. So, it’s recommended to oil unfinished fretboards for obvious reasons. When you leave wood for a long time, it turns hard, thereby making it difficult for the truss rod-neck adjustment. Unoiled fretboards can also crack in places that look bad and hamper your guitar play. How To Start Cleaning Your FretBoard For maple fretboards, you don’t have to spend time oiling. Typically, they are pre-hydrat...

What is Acoustic Guitar Body Binding? Almost all acoustic guitars have some type of binding around the edges where the top and back meet the sides. Many acoustic guitars also have binding around the fretboard and peghead. Acoustic guitar binding can be made out of many different kinds of material including: various woods, plastic, or celluloid. A “true” binding around the body of the guitar is inlayed or glued in a channel cut from the body. A router is used to cut a small channel or shelf on the edges of the guitar for the binding to sit on. The binding is then bent and shaped to fit the body and glued in place. Most of the time decretory purfling strips are usually inlayed next to the binding. Purfling strips are thin laminate pieces of wood dyed different colors.
