Golf wedges are your money clubs, allowing super accurate, softly landing shots into the firmest of greens. Nearly seventy five per cent of your golf game is played from 120 yards out Knowing your golf wedges will assist you to choose the correct one or two or four. Many pro golfers now carry 4 wedges at least and US golfer Phil Mickleson carries five! often leaving his driver out of the bag because he knows it is the wedges that will carry him through a game. If you want more bang for your buck forget about the super duper driver, the hyped up rescue wood and invest in some wedges.
Pitching Wedge;
Most sets come with a pitching wedge . Lofts range from 47 to 50 degrees and these are the least lofted of all the wedges. Use from about 120 yards out.
Gap Wedge;
A newcomer, the gap wedge fills the gap between the pitching wedge and the more lofted sand wedge. Gap wedges are commonly around the 51 to 55 degre mark.
Sand Wedge;
Surprisingly enough the sand wedge is used for playing in the sand. Lofted to around 56 to 58 degrees the sand wedge is mostly used from the green side bunkers. Opening or closing the face will, like all wedges allow for a degree of variation in ball flight.
Lob Wedge;
A further refinement in the wedge armoury, the lob wedge has a loft of around 60 degrees and allows a very high, very soft landing shot from close range. Ideal for the firmer greens the lob shot will drop and stop. Wedges of up to 64 degrees are starting to appear, another indicator that wedges are where the action is.
What is bounce and what bounce do I need?
Bounce is a combined factor of width of sole,angle of club edge to the ground and head design.Many pros will have the bounce angle adjusted to the particular conditions of a course but for the rest of us a the standard bounce of about 16 degrees will perform better on a softer course whilst the low bounce clubs, 12 degrees, are more suited to the firmer turf of a links course.
Most but not all wedges come with a steel shaft with a wedge flex, i.e. stiff, this is to give better feel whilst striking the ball.
Club heads come in a variety of finishes and it really down to personal preference however wedges with a raw or 'rusty' finish will give better backspin due to the grippier finish. An old trick with these clubs was to leave them in the rain to rust and then give a quick wire brush for maximum spin rates. Balls will quickly split or tear with these clubs.
So invest in your game and invest in a wedge.
You Re What I Need
Industrial racking is not the kind of item that you walk into a shop, see one you like and take it back to the warehouse for a try. Before you can choose industrial racking that is suitable for your purposes you need to know exactly what kind you need. First, how much space do you have? You will be kicking yourself if you pick something too small, although not as much as you will curse your decision if you pick something too big for the room.
Second you will need to think of the dimensions of the items you wish to store on the racks. third, and very important is the weight the racking will need to hold. All industrial racking has a maximum load, and for heavy storage, an appropriate load bearing rack is essential or you will no doubt end up with broken racking. Equally, if you need to store light packages such as bales of cotton wool, super strong racking will be unnecessary and perhaps uneconomical.
It will be helpful to get advice from an industrial racking company to aid your decision making. Many companies offer such advice as part of their customer services. And with such an important part of warehouse infrastructure, it would be wise to ask for guidance. Some companies even offer a no quibble return if, even after taking professional advice, the industrial racking you chose is not suited to your needs. This is a great service and is a bonus, but rather than taking the chance of needing to send your racking back, it is better for you to get your order correct in the first place.
Although ordering industrial racking and arranging delivery will be a simple, painless process, returning unsuitable products will turn this into an ordeal. Instead of the simple process it should be you will order the racking, build it, decide it is no good for you, call the company to arrange a pick-up, dismantle the racking, wait for collection, order new racking, and hope you get it right this time. Just spend a little time ensuring that you choose the right racking initially and enjoy the benefits it brings.
Technological advances have brought software that allows the companies dealing in industrial racking to create a three dimensional computer design of the space you have available. You can then work with the company to ensure that you have enough racks of the right size and that you will have enough space between racks to manoeuvre your stock.
You can find a helpful industrial racking company with a simple internet search. But before you contact the company make a list of your needs, such as the space you have available, and the typical weight of what you store. This will speed up the selection process by letting the customer advisor whittle down appropriate products by a process of elimination. If you have decided to buy industrial racking, spend a little time and thought planning for your perfect storage solution.
