There are many facets to the game of golf that golfers have to fight very hard to overcome. The short game and wedge shots around the green that cannot be hit with a full swing has proven to be extremely costly for the majority of golfers, up to now\u2026 and now here comes the Square Strike Wedge to your rescue.<\/p>\n

What is the Square Strike Wedge and in which category does it fall? That\u2019s a frequently asked question. It looks like a wedge but operates almost exactly like a chipper of days gone by. The Square Strike Wedge club is a hybrid somewhere between a standard wedge and a putter.<\/p>\n

The Square Strike Wedge is designed to improve square clubface contact on the ball creating better roll and improve on the accuracy of the shot by providing greater feel. The offset face improves the move to square the face at impact every time without fail.<\/p>\n

Chipping should be one of the more comfortable areas of your golf game as it involves the shortest clubs in your bag and close to the flag! But alas, it turns out that this is an area where a lot of golfers lose more than their fair share of shots.<\/p>\n

If your short game needs some assistance to change it in the right direction and your wedges are just not doing it for you around the green, here is a wedge that will go a long way in addressing your pains and assist in reducing the stress around the greens. ThisWedge is designed to improve accuracy from different types of lies, make it almost impossible to hit fat shots, all of this while having a standard putting stroke.<\/p>\n

Grip<\/h3>\n

The first thing you notice on this wedge is the extra-long extra thin green grip that is 1\u201d longer than standard grips. This will allow you to grip down on shots closer to the hole. The grip may not suit everyone as it is rather on the thin side compared to the rest of the clubs in your bag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the Square Strike is used very similar to a putter, you can use the same grip that you use on your putter here as well. It will be wise to experiment with your grip on the Square Strike Wedge the same as you would with your putter.<\/p>\n

Shaft<\/h3>\n

The shaft is 35\u201d placing it in the standard putter shaft length which makes it easier to control than your wedges. However, this is a precision club and does not require the extra length to get more distance. When it comes to the wedge, you\u2019re looking for precision, not distance.<\/p>\n

Golfers have often improvised around the greens by using either a 7 iron or 8 iron to chip and get more roll. As the shafts of these clubs are normally in the 36.5\u201d to 37\u201d range, you could lose some accuracy. This will not be the case with this wedge.<\/p>\n

Clubhead<\/h3>\n

Weighted-Clubhead<\/h4>\n

The Square Strike Wedge comes with a 330-gram clubhead is weighs approximately 30g more than a sand wedge. The design moves weight from the heel to the toe of the Square Strike Wedge and presents a COG located exactly in the center of the clubface with high MOI than the average wedge.<\/p>\n

The move of the weight prevents the clubhead opening and closing excessively during the swing. The effect of the weighting reduces hand\/wrist action while increasing the action incurred from the larger muscles. The weighted clubhead provides the forgiveness required around the green on mishits.<\/p>\n

Clubface<\/h3>\n

The Square Strike Wedge has a low profile clubface that is set up square to the target with vertical lines framing the ball and assisting in the alignment of the ball.<\/p>\n

Sole<\/h3>\n

On the bottom end of the Square Strike Wedge you will find an enormous sole that is curved slightly from heel to toe with shallow grooves. This reduces friction resulting in the head continuing to slide through the turf smoothly producing crisp contact and all but eliminating fat shots.<\/p>\n

In addition to the changes in the sole, the Square Strike Wedge comes with a beveled leading edge that essentially reduces the likelihood of the club digging into the turf.<\/p>\n

Lie<\/h3>\n

The Square Strike Wedge allows you to set up closer to your ball with a 68\u00ba lie angle that is similar to most standard putters and 6\u00ba more upright than most wedges. This all results in the full swing being more difficult to achieve with the Square Strike Wedge.<\/p>\n

Loft<\/h3>\n

The Square Strike Wedge comes as standard with a 45\u00b0 loft which compares with most pitching wedges. However, it can be purchased in different lofts as is the case with other wedges.<\/p>\n

Looks<\/h3>\n

The Square Strike Wedge has a rectangular face with an upright lie angle, green head and wide sole that will not look like the standard club in your bag. It will definitely be noticed.<\/p>\n

Sound & Feel<\/h3>\n

The weighted clubhead reduces the feedback to the golfer and it is not easy to identify mishit shots. The Square Strike Wedge produces a muted sound on impact.<\/p>\n

Swing<\/h3>\n

The weighted club head will make it more difficult to produce a full swing out of the Square Strike Wedge. Although it is possible to do so, you will lack the distance compared to a pitching wedge with a similar loft. You will achieve better results within the 50-yard radius from the pin.<\/p>\n

Can this super wedge help you out of a bunker? Indeed it will assist with bunker play where the lip is of a reasonable height. Where the lip is slightly high it would not be recommended to try the Square Strike Wedge. The best results will be achieved from a straight back and through stroke as you would stroke a putter.<\/p>\n

Performance<\/h3>\n

Feedback from several golfers that have tried the Square Strike Wedge has been very positive. Most golfers commented that it is nearly impossible to hit fat shots with the Square Strike Wedge.\u00a0 A reduction in fat and thin shots leads to reduced scores and that is the aim of any golfer. The Square Strike Wedge produces low shots that produce more roll than what you would achieve with a pitching wedge.<\/p>\n

The weighted clubhead makes playing shots from a variety of lies possible as it will even slide through thicker grass than a pitching wedge would. The Pitching wedge is more likely to grab into thicker grass.<\/p>\n

Tournament Ready<\/h3>\n

Is the Square Strike Wedge tournament legal? Yes, it conforms to all USGA and R&A rules and can be put in your bag with confidence for your next tournament.<\/p>\n
