The Term ‘Foot Wedge’ Just Got Real
- Updated: October 5, 2017
Ask any pro what their favorite club in the bag is and they’ll probably tell you it’s the putter they’ve had for years or their brand new Callaway Epic driver (they’re so hot right now!) Ask an amateur and they might say their ‘foot wedge.’
You know the foot wedge, the proverbial 15th club in the bag. When in doubt just hack it out with your foot while nobody’s looking. It’s the one club in which technology hasn’t changed…until today.
Australian Tour pro Greg Chalmers tweeted out this hilarious photo of an actual foot wedge used by one of the players in his pro-am group recently:

The heel-toe weighting on this beauty looks funny because it’s true.
In a world where ‘Jailbreak Technology’ and ‘Speedfoam’ reign supreme, few golf club innovations compare to molding a wedge into the shape of a human foot.
