Wedge custom fitting in Newbury, Berkshire
Build a wedge setup around your scoring shots.
Compare suitable wedge heads, lofts, shafts and grips using Foresight Sports GCQuad, with your current wedges and pitching wedge as the starting point. We consider your carry gaps, delivery and the shots you play so each wedge has a useful role.
£105 · 105 minutes · Written specification included · Equipment priced separately
Suitable stock shaft options are considered against your swing, feel preferences and budget before any additional-cost upgrade. No obligation to buy.
Right-handed fittings only.
A fitting with a clear purpose
Your appointment focuses on clearer scoring distances and a wedge setup suited to the shots you play. It can help if your wedge distances overlap, you struggle to control flight or you are unsure which lofts, bounces and grinds belong in your bag.
A good wedge setup starts with your pitching wedge and the carry distances you actually produce. Loft spacing is a starting point, not a guarantee of equal yardage gaps. Discuss full swings and your preferred partial-shot approach; agree which shots will be tested within the appointment.
We look at your normal shot pattern and feedback alongside the numbers. Beginners and experienced golfers are welcome. If your current equipment is still the right choice, we’ll tell you.

What happens in your wedge fitting?
Understand your game
We discuss your intended shots, usual miss, preferences and budget. Your fitter agrees the priorities for the session before selecting suitable options.
Establish a baseline
If practical, bring your pitching wedge and every wedge you currently use. This gives the comparison context.
Test suitable options
Compare relevant heads, shafts and specifications. Your feedback on feel, appearance and confidence matters alongside the launch data.
Review the complete result
We review carry gaps, spin, flight, strike and the roles of your scoring clubs. A single longest shot should not decide the recommendation.
Leave with a clear recommendation
We explain the comparisons and provide a written fitted specification. You can order, consider your options or keep your existing equipment.
Head, shaft, grip and specification
Heads and lofts
Discuss loft, head shape, bounce and grind alongside your delivery, technique and course conditions. We explain the options available to test indoors and the limits of judging sole interaction from a mat. A particular bounce or grind is not a guarantee of better bunker or rough performance.
Shafts and playing length
Assess shaft weight, profile, flex, playing length and balance against feel, delivery and the shots you need. Your wedge shaft does not automatically have to be identical to your iron shaft, or softer than it. Compare suitable stock options before considering additional-cost choices.
Grip and final specification
Grip size, condition, comfort and feel belong in the complete setup. Your written recommendation records the relevant head, loft, shaft, flex, playing length, grip and settings, plus the recommended lie where assessed. Physical alterations and replacement grips are separate work, with compatibility and costs explained.
What the numbers tell you
Speed and strike
Ball speed, delivery and strike pattern help explain how consistently the setup performs. Compare representative shots rather than one exceptional strike.
Launch, spin and height
We assess the flight against your intended shots. Lower spin, lower flight or greater speed is not automatically a better outcome.
Carry and landing angle
Carry is distance through the air. Landing angle helps discuss how the ball approaches the ground. Neither alone guarantees that a shot will stop on a particular surface.
Dispersion and distance gaps
The spread of shots and the separation between clubs matter alongside distance. Loft numbers alone do not establish useful carry gaps.
For wedges, the golf ball, face condition and contact conditions strongly affect spin comparisons. We keep comparisons consistent where practical and explain any relevant differences. Indoor spin figures are not a promise from wet rough or sand.
Flight figures are calculated from launch data, and total distance depends on ground assumptions. A fitting cannot guarantee extra yardage or the removal of every swing issue.
What a club-fitting customer says
“This was the best club fitting I’ve ever had. Ross was brilliant and the facilities were great.”

Wedge fitting FAQs
How much does a wedge fitting cost?
£105 for 105 minutes, covering a wedge fitting appointment. Includes suitable testing, GCQuad analysis and a written fitted specification. Equipment purchases are separate.
Which wedge lofts should I carry?
Start with your pitching wedge carry, your preferred shots and the gaps you need to fill. There is no single loft combination that suits every set.
How many wedges do I need?
The useful number depends on your existing set, distance gaps and shot preferences. More wedges are not automatically better if their roles overlap.
What bounce and grind do I need?
Delivery, technique, turf, sand and intended shots all matter. We discuss suitable options, but indoor mat testing cannot fully validate performance on natural turf or in bunkers.
Will we test partial wedge shots?
Discuss the shots you want to assess at the start. Confirm the available partial-shot comparison within the session; a full wedge distance chart is not automatically included.
Can you fit wedges indoors?
Indoor launch data supports comparison of carry, flight, spin and strike. It does not reproduce every turf, rough or bunker condition, so sole-interaction conclusions need that context.
Do I need new wedges to get more spin?
Not necessarily. Strike, delivery, ball, face condition and contact conditions all affect spin. We assess your existing equipment before recommending a purchase.
Do I need a premium aftermarket shaft?
Not necessarily. We compare suitable stock options against your swing and budget. Additional-cost options should justify their place through performance and feel in the complete setup.
What should I bring?
Bring your pitching wedge and the wedges you currently use, if practical, along with your usual glove and comfortable golf clothing and footwear.
Do I have to buy equipment afterwards?
No. You receive a written specification and can consider the recommendation in your own time.
Do you offer left-handed wedge fittings?
This service is for right-handed golfers only.
