As the 2020 season is reaching the dog days of summer, so many Canadians are likely realizing what parts of their games need the most help. And, well, we could all use a little more help around the greens.

The short game is where all the scoring happens, and some of the biggest brands in the sport have dropped some impressive scoring clubs for 2020. GlobalGolf has a big-time selection of the best wedges in the game, and here are a couple of options if you’re looking to improve your scoring for the rest of 2020.

Titleist Vokey SM8

A legacy of making some of the best wedges in the game continues with the Vokey SM8. Bob Vokey – a Canadian! – has created a Tour-proven line of wedges that can help anyone hit it closer. The Vokey SM8 features improved distance and trajectory control – reimagined from the first introduction in the Vokey SM6 – with a centre of gravity pushed forward and a higher MOI. The Vokey SM8 grinds are Tour-proven, while the grooves are cut to the edge – that will help golfers to maximize spin and shot control.

Callaway Jaws MD5

Although we can’t all flop one like Phil Mickelson, we can at least add the same wedges into our bags. The Callaway Jaws MD5 feature what Callaway calls the most aggressive groove in golf and is the most comprehensive wedge line-up its ever released with 23 different loft/bounce combinations. With a solid number of hand-crafted grinds, the premium heads on the Callaway Jaws MD5 are high quality and deliver soft and satisfying feel.

COBRA King MIM

New from Cobra, the King MIM wedge (Metal Injection Molded) is the softest and most precise wedge the company has ever produced. There are three grinds – Versatile, WideLow, and Classic – and a CNC milled face. The milled face on the Cobra King MIM wedge creates sharper groove edges to maximize spin across the face with progressive groves to help optimize spin on every shot.

PING Glide 3.0

PING engineers took what they call a ‘grip-to-grind’ approach to totally redesign every component of the Glide 3.0 wedges. The result? A higher-spinning, more forgiving, softer-feeling, lighter design. The Glide 3.0 wedges from PING have multiple sole grinds, including a throwback option inspired by the Eye2. The Glide 3.0 gives golfers a players-style look but game-improvement performance. What more could you ask for in a scoring club?

Cleveland RTX ZipCore

A revolutionary new wedge from Cleveland, the RTX ZipCore is the end result of Cleveland taking its flagship scoring club down to its core and rebuilding it. The ZipCore is a low-density material – it replaces heavy steel with a lightweight material. The result is a more consistent club with everything – spin, distance, feel, and control – performing better than previous models.
