I’ll be honest, a 3 iron isn’t the easiest club to hit. In fact, I took one out of my bag several years ago and replaced it with a hybrid.

At one point, I didn’t have a gap wedge in my golf bag. I just carried a pitching wedge and a sand wedge.

It is incredibly important to have a gap wedge in your arsenal, and even more important to know when to use this wedge versus your others. I’ve broken down what a gap and pitching wedge is and how you can tell them…

In this Callaway Epic Speed 5 Wood review, I’ll give you all the information you need to see if…
