Gap wedge
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Golf/k8jn7q42">golf</a>, a gap wedge, also known as an approach wedge, is a <a href="/facts/Wedge_(golf)/poPC81nl">wedge</a> used to hit a shot with higher and shorter trajectory than a <a href="/facts/Pitching_wedge/6g5pYapu">pitching wedge</a> and lower and longer trajectory than a <a href="/facts/Sand_wedge/pWN3Am2s">sand wedge</a>. The name derives from the club's design to fill the "gap" between sand and pitching wedges. </p>
