A wedge that had been used for 125 rounds, using a wedge robot, created about 6,500 rpm of spin and had about 24 feet of roll-out. A 75-round wedge created 7,700 rpm of spin and had about 18 feet of roll-out. Finally, a new wedge created 8,500 rpm of spin and had only 12 feet of roll-out. I'm not suggesting you all go and buy new wedges, but I am wondering how many of you clean your wedge grooves before every shot? If those dramatic differences happen with some wear and tear, how much spin and control are you losing because of poor maintenance of your equipment? If you are playing with old wedges, then it might be time to have a short-game assessment to check technique and equipment.

You make the soles slightly wider, so that the CoG can be even deeper, increasing the launch angle off the face. | ![](http://cdn.retailtribe.com/content/cma/2018/643739/fa3_brand-stories-callaway_08427.jpg) | | | | ![](http://cdn.retailtribe.com/content/cma/2018/643739/fa3_brand-stories-callaway_11900.jpg) | Callaway, the number 1 Iron brand in golf, have a full range of models to complement the Rogue family.

Watch the video now with a good tip for an in-round checkup you can continually make. | ![](http://cdn.retailtribe.com/content/cma/2018/643752/fa3_why-is-setup-so-important_09300.jpg) | ![](http://cdn.retailtribe.com/content/cma/2018/643752/fa3_why-is-setup-so-important_12900.jpg) | Stenzel has a good tip in her video, but the question is, if you were asked to pull a Driver, and then a hybrid, and then a #7 iron out of your bag and set up correctly each time; would you have the knowledge of the key check points to a good setup?
