Sole weighting

Sole Weighting: Increased weight in the sole of a club to lower the centre of gravity to enable the golfer to get the ball up in the air more easily.

All wedges are characterized by high lofts (typically 45-60 degrees) to increase trajectory, and significant sole weighting to help you penetrate sand or grass. Most are also heavier overall. But that's where the similarities end.

Izzo's Zwood has a 275cc clubhead and tungsten sole weighting for the ultimate in user friendliness. Callaway's Big Bertha is a classic design with stainless-steel construction and an updated version of the WarBird sole.
