Same Length Wedges: Do They Really Make You a Better Golfer?
Most golfers have never questioned why their wedges are different lengths.
A pitching wedge is longer than a gap wedge. A gap wedge is longer than a sand wedge. A sand wedge is longer than a lob wedge.
It's simply the way golf clubs have always been made.
But that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best way.
The Problem With Traditional Wedges
Every time you switch wedges, you change more than just the loft.
You also change:
• Shaft length
• Ball position
• Posture
• Swing plane
• Feel
That means you're asking yourself to make a different swing every time you pull a different wedge.
For tour professionals who practice every day, that isn't a major problem.
For the average golfer, it often leads to inconsistent contact and distance control.
Why Same Length Wedges Make Sense
Imagine hitting every wedge with the exact same setup.
Same posture.
Same ball position.
Same swing.
The only thing that changes is the loft.
That's the idea behind same-length wedges.
Instead of learning three different swings, you learn one repeatable motion.
Who Benefits Most?
Same-length wedges aren't designed for PGA Tour professionals.
They're designed for regular golfers who want to make their short game simpler.
Players who struggle with:
• Chunked chips
• Thin wedge shots
• Inconsistent distances
• Poor contact
• Lack of confidence around the green
often benefit the most from removing unnecessary variables.
Why We Chose 35.25 Inches
Every Knockout wedge measures 35.25 inches—the same length as a traditional 54° sand wedge.
We believe it's the ideal balance between control and versatility.
Whether you're hitting a full 50°, a bunker shot with the 54°, or a high flop with the 58°, your setup never changes.
The Other Advantage: A Heavier Head
Knockout wedges feature a head that's approximately 5% heavier than standard.
The added swing weight helps the club stay on plane and promotes a smoother tempo through impact.
Combined with our same-length design, the result is a wedge that feels stable, predictable, and easy to repeat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose distance?
No. Loft—not shaft length—is the biggest factor in wedge distance. The different lofts naturally produce different carry distances.
Will it feel strange?
Most golfers adapt after only a few practice sessions because every wedge begins to feel familiar.
Why don't more companies make them?
Most manufacturers continue to build clubs the traditional way because that's what golfers expect. We believe there is a better approach for everyday players.
Final Thoughts
Golf is difficult enough.
Your scoring clubs shouldn't force you to learn three different swings.
By keeping every wedge the same length and adding a slightly heavier head, Knockout Golf is built to help golfers simplify their short game, make more consistent contact, and play with greater confidence inside 100 yards.
