Specialized golf clubs designed for shots within approximately 120 yards of the green, and particularly effective for players who typically score in the 10-18 handicap range, enhance a golfer’s short game. Examples include models with varying loft angles (50-60 degrees) and sole grinds that cater to different swing styles and course conditions.
Employing clubs tailored to this skill level promotes improved accuracy, control, and spin around the green. Their design often helps overcome common challenges faced by those striving to lower their scores, contributing to more consistent performance and better proximity to the hole. Historically, advancements in their design have coincided with significant improvements in scoring averages across amateur and professional golf.
