What wedge/loft combo are you using? Also indicate the brand, bounce of your wedges and what kind of shots you take with each.

Right now, i'm using a Cleveland CG10 54º/14 Bounce for sand shots around the green and occasionally full 100 yard fairway shots and i've got a Vokey Chrome Spin Milled 60º/4 Bounce for lob shots up to 75 yards away. I'm going to be switching to something like a 52º/12 bounce and a 58º/8 bounce combo or perhaps a 54º/14 bounce 60º/8 bounce...we'll see.

I use 52/56/60 for my wedges but i hardly use the latter 2

My philosophy(and my golf pros) is minimum air time maximum roll time, so I bump and run whenever possible

Irons: 5-PW Idea A2Wedges: X-Tour 52, 56, 60Putter: White Hot XGBall: OPB (Other People's Balls)

I use a 48 pitching wedge for full shots between 110-120 yds. I use my gap wedge for 110-aroung 75 yds and bump and run chips. I use my 56 for soft chips, flop shots and bunker shots and shots from 50 yds and in.

Voted for other: Replaced the PW in my set with a 48* vokey, had been playing 54* and 60*. Just recently started hitting 52/56/60 and taking the 4 Iron out, bending the 3i to 24*. Anyways all wedges for full shots, and 60 for open faced flops and pitches, 52 for chips.

i use a 60 and a PW, and just realized I have room for 1 more club!

I barely use my 60 degree, I like to hit it in bunkers and to get over obstacles.

I use a 52/56/58 combo. 52 is a CG12 which I use for about 115 yard shots. 56 is a 588 for 100 yard shots. I use the 58, CG12, for all shots around the green and anything under 85 yards.

I voted 52°/56°/60° but it depends which wedge set I am actually playing as I have two different sets.

My P2 iron set PW is 47° and the matching wedges are 51°/7°, 55°/12° and 59°/7°.

My alternate set of 2007 Adams Watson wedges (which I am leaning to as "gamers" this year) are 52°/7°, 56°/12° and 60°/7°.

What's in my bag (most of the time)

Exotics 12°, Aldila VS Proto 65S
Exotics CB1 4W, 16.5°, Fujikura Stiff

My upcoming set is 47°.6, 51°.6, and 56°.14, all MP-T. Their usages remain to be determined.

I currently use a (very used) 56.14 Vokey for most of my chip shots.

I use a 53 and a 58, Mizuno MP T. The 53 I've been using mainly just as another iron, so full swings from 100 yards or so. The 58 is for everything else around the green. I'm going to work on using the 53 from shorter distances for more versatility, though.

47PW, 52GW and 60LW for myself. Thinking of putting my 56 back in the bag though. My new 60 has been acting up on me. Classic operator at fault though.

I use 52 and 60. I used a 56 for a while, but got rid of it. I just didn't like it. I just started hitting the 52 a couple years ago and I'm in love with it now. My 60 is amazing. I've had the same club for ~8 years and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The only time I run into any real trouble is 80-90 yards where 60 won't get there unless I hit it pretty hard (which I don't want to do), but I can usually take care if it pretty well with my 52.

Fore!

48*= 125-110
54*= 110-90
60*= 90 and in

My 60* is my favorite club in my bag and use it 80% of the time around the greens and in bunkers and my 48* for bump and run with a lot of green to work with. I chose to go with 6* between my wedges since I can knock down a wedge better than a long iron. Also, I spend half my range time working on hitting my wedges different distances. I recently got some new spin milled wedges so I'm in the process of learning the new spin as apposed to my old worn down CG10's. So far I have only backed two off of the green.

Good Poll! I am currently using 52º/56º/60º
I have thought about going 54º/58º but I am pretty good with what I have now so I am sticking with it.

I carry PW . SW and a super 64* lob wedge. (all Ram) Was thinking of adding something around 58*-60* as I find my sand wedge has a little too much bounce off the fairway.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
