  1. 1. How many wedges do you carry?

    • 0 - What's a wedge?
      0
    • 1 - I have my trusty Niblick and that's all I need.
      0
    • 2 - Doesn't matter which two, but you'd think it would be PW and SW
      4
    • 3 - Very common set up through the 80's and 90's.
      11
    • 4 - Its good to have options
      20
    • 5 - More options or is it because your PW is so delofted you had to stick in another gap wedge?
      3
    • 6 or more - If you answer this, you'd better explain why.

Got the fourth one. I was looking for a Titleist, but they had been sold out entirely - so I got another Mizuno. Wedges with low bounce are really hard to come by - I am learning this one the hard way. Took 15 minutes of looking at wedges to find one.

I used to have one wedge which was a 58* but I binned the 58* and went for a 56* and a 60*. Both get me close to the hole.

I have three. A 52, 56, and a 60.

Theres really no need to carry 4 wedges, unless your a really good golfer IMO. I'm by no means a great short game player, but I can alter differnt things and hit the same club many differnt distances. If I were you I'd get a sand first, maybe a 58 (thats what I use and it doubles as a LW IMO).

I carry 4 pitching/ 52/56/60 vokey's I had only 3 for a while but needed to fill the gap between the pitching and the sand and bought the 52!

Posted
i carry a 47, a 52 and a 58. I don't see a reason why i should carry an extra wedge. it would mean i'd have to take my hybrid or 3 wood out of the bag....

I still carry three wedges but am switching from a 48-54-60 to a 48-52-58 to improve the gap situation between the pitching wedge and the next wedge. The 58 is a great compromise between the 56 and the 60 as well, especially since I am not a big fan of a low bounce lob wedge anyway.

I have been playing 3 wedges forever.

PW 48
S 56
L 60

Occasionally, I will pull out the 52 if I decide to leave something else out of the bag.

I used to carry just the PW & SW, however I recently realized the importance of the short game and invested in purchasing the SOLUS wedge set. It's actually on the way for delivery right now, and I can't wait to start practicing with them and using them on the field.

How many wedges do you carry and lofts do they have? Right now I only have one

I got 3 wedges in my bag. 52 cleveland, 56 cleveland and a 60 taylormade, that it for me!

I carry a total of 4 wedges (pitching, gap, sand, lob).
I have a 47 degree pitching, hit it about 125 yds.
52 degree gap, 110 yds, running chips.
56 deg sand, 95 yds, sand.
60 deg lob, 70 yds, everything.

wow i'm outnumbered here bigtime..

i only carry two right now.. a 45 PW and 55 SW that came in my taylormade r7 set. im scared to get a 60 as i'm pretty new to the game and I think it'll just get me into trouble.. the ball sucking down 25ft past the hole.. yowsers ! I will probably get a gap wedge (50) in the future though..

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
