Wedges are known as the scoring section of the golf bag and, on the professional circuits, they can be the difference between winning and losing.
It’s crucial that the wedges are dialed in and, with five tournaments completed of the 2026 PGA Tour season, a trend has occurred whereby every winner has used a particular type of golf shaft in the scoring section.

For Gotterup, who claimed the Sony Open in Hawaii and WM Phoenix Open, he opts for the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100, while the Major winners, Scheffler, Morikawa and Rose, use the more common S400 models.
As we’ve alluded to previously, the S400 model is the most used in the wedges on the professional circuits, while the X100 is most commonly found in the iron set-up, with the reason being down to the fact that players prefer heavier, but softer, shafts in their wedges.
Unlike the iron portion of the bag, where the majority of shots are played in full, the wedges require more touch and feel, with more delicate half shots needed to get the most out of the scoring portion.
Because of this, players prefer more weight to be located in the head which, in turn, helps with the feel and control.

Last year, the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shaft was used in all but three wins, wedge-wise, on the PGA Tour, and only eight players didn’t have the brand’s shafts in the irons.
It might be early days in the 2026 PGA Tour season but, once again, the trend seems to be that the Dynamic Gold Tour Issue isn’t slowing down, as it boasts a 100% win record.
What’s more, another club that has dominated in the opening stages is the TaylorMade Spider Tour putter, which is in the bag of Gotterup, Scheffler and Morikawa.
Again, it was the most used flatstick of the 2025 season, signifying that it will be yet another strong year for one of the best putters money can buy.
