Two wedges from the same line with different grinds behave like different clubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugar Daddy III is offered in three grinds, and choosing correctly matters far more than the generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>BP grind\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The wider, more supportive sole. More effective turf resistance, more forgiveness on a heavy strike, better in soft conditions and out of sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suits steeper swings, golfers who take a real divot, and anyone who plays on soft ground. It is also the safer choice for a golfer who is not sure — a wedge that refuses to dig fails less often than one that refuses to slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>S grind\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The middle option. Enough sole to resist digging on a full shot, enough relief to let you open the face for a greenside shot without the leading edge rising off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the majority of golfers, this is the right grind in both the sand wedge and the lob wedge. Versatile without demanding a specific delivery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>C grind\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The most relieved sole, with material removed through the heel and toe. Sits very low, opens beautifully, and lets you slide the club under the ball from a tight lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Requires a shallow delivery and firm turf. On soft ground or with a steep swing it will dig, and the shot will come up short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Matching grind to loft\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>You are not obliged to use the same grind through your wedges. A common approach is BP or S in the sand wedge, where turf and sand resistance matter most, and S or C in the lob wedge, where face manipulation matters most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Setting the lofts\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the grind, the loft steps have to work from your pitching wedge down. Since PXG irons are strong-lofted, the gap below the set is usually larger than convention suggests. Plan the whole progression rather than buying wedges in the traditional 52-56-60 pattern by default.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Fitting tip:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Open the face of each grind on real turf and look at the leading edge. If it lifts off the ground, that grind will not let you play an open-face shot. That test takes ten seconds and settles the choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Model names current as of September 2026.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n",394,{"slug":15,"title":16},"pxg-0317-st-who-should-play-a-blade","PXG 0317 ST: Who Should Play a Blade",{"slug":18,"title":19},"pxg-zero-torque-putters-what-zt-actually-does","PXG Zero Torque Putters: What ZT Actually Does",1788299817833]
