Build wedge lofts from the pitching wedge

Start by measuring how far the set pitching wedge carries, then choose the next wedge to create the intended distance gap. The instructor progresses this player's 46-degree pitching wedge to 50 degrees while noting that the rest of the loft sequence can be arranged around whether the preferred highest loft is 58 or 60 degrees.
