Wedge carrying thoughts

[MCDavis]

I voted 48/52/56, I play 46/52/56 and see no reason to change a thing.

48, 54, 58

53 and 59 :laugh: Zodia's.

But only after you've tried 12 different shafts in each :biglol:

Sorry but EZ I think I've just realized that you may be a bigger shaft HO than actual club HO.

Same thinking here. My PW is 47, GW is 51 and SW is 55. I also have a 59 LW that I practice with and hit well but I don't want to toss anything else out of the bag to carry it instead.

Once about every 5-6 rounds I find myself wishing I had the LW in the bag but then I get over it, man up and hit a brilliant shot with one of the wedges I do carry.

Your PW is 44*? Jeesus...

My cobra S9 PW is 44* as well. I guess this is how Cobra advertise's the "extra distance" part. :laugh:

Currently carrying:

44*
50*
56*
60*

I've been having better success with the 60* wedge from sand over the 56*. Not sure why. I tend to skull sand shots with my 56*. Might end up taking it out of the bag.

higher bounce on the sw likely...

Since my pw is a 45* I also went with a 50*, 54*, and 58*. I like having different degrees of bounce. My 54 is high bounce and the 58 is low. I use all of these wedges at least a couple of times per round. I could probably get by without the 50 or 58 but had the room in my bag since I have no need for an extra wood or hybrid.

If I was a bomber and had a huge club distance gap I'd go with multiple wedges but I'm not. I only need the PW and 56º.

Lol,I can get my 58 up into my nose,a 73 is positively dangerous

 

[Dale]

Vokey, Gap 52, Sand 56 and Lob 60 - along with my Mizuno PW (assume that is either 48 or 50)

I actually have 2 60's depending on the weather that day, a 4 degree and 8 degree bounce. I do find that I get on with the 4 degree so much more consistently these days.

...and I couldn't live without my 60, flop shot galore

I just had a thought about wedges. I have carried as many as 4 wedges at one time. Now I'm starting to think maybe I should just go back to the old model and carry 2 wedges (Pitching and Sand 48* and 56*). I can mostly do everything that I do with my 52* with my pitching wedge and the same goes for my lob wedge vs. my sand wedge. When I first started oh 30 odd years ago I had to work with what was available since Gap wedges weren't the in thing. What does everyone else think?


In the poll I actually meant to put for choice 2 a 48*, 52* and 58* It woildn't let me change it.

Get 4 wedges. 70 percent of your shots are made within a hundred yards of the green, and your chances of hitting the green with a long iron/fairway wood are pretty slim, anyway. The only thing keeping me from four wedges is unemployment and the resulting lack of money.

Is the sand at your course hard? If so, it's because of the bounce - the club's bouncing off the sand, and causing you to hit it super thin. I've hit my share of worm burners with a high bounce sand wedge (I eventually sold that one for about 12 bucks in change) - get a 58 with low bounce and have it bent to 56 if bounce is killing you.

Most instructors I know, and most pros advice I read in magazines, suggest 3 wedges. Pelz likes four but I don't like Pelz so....

S-

 

[LeftyHoges]

49*, 56* and 60*.
