  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.

I mainly use two low bounce wedges for everything from ~100 yards and in (52 & 58 - if loft needed, type of green, etc.). Exception being sand wedge for sand only (more bounce). The PW seems to be a full swing 10 iron for the most part (matches iron set in feel). I have better distance and direction control by limiting wedge selection and concentrating on perfecting half\quarter\small back swings. Less stress too. Just grab it and let it fly.

I want the gap between my wedges to be about 4 degrees. So there is not such a big "GAP" between my wedges and/or the rest of my irons.

I carry only two,

Titleist 755 PW
Sonartec T-46 56°

as my PW is bend to 50° and the 9i is bend to 45° do I really play 3 wedges?

4:

Ping i/3 O-Size 47* PW
Titleist Vokey 52* GW
Mizuno MP T 56* SW
Titleist Vokey 58* LW

They work for me.

Right now I use a 47*, 56*, and a 60* but I am looking to buy a 52* or 58*. I'm not really sure on what I would like to get yet.

I voted 2 but I guess I have 4 if you include my PW and AW that came with my iron set.

I carry the PW in my irons set Cleveland Hibore XLis, I carry a set of 3 CG14 wedges 52, 56 & 60 and I have been pretty happy messing around with this new Nickent 47 Putter/Pitcher thingie... I will reduce by at least one once I see what I really like the best but with new clubs and spring practice they are all in there...

I carry 4 wedges: 47*, 52*, 56* and 60*. I do not carry a pitching wedge. My pitching wedge was a 45* and I replaced that with the 47* so that there is less of a gap between that and my 52* wedge.

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

I have always had wedge dilemmas in that i can never decide to play four wedges at 46*,50*,54*,and 58* or just three at 48*,54*, and 58*. Of course the choice i make refelcts the course and conditions. but everytime i play four wedges i always miss my 2 iron, and when i put the 2 iron back in the bag it seems i always have the perfect shot for the now missing gap wedge. haha anyone else have similair problems?

I carry 3 at tthe moment.

45* PW Cleveland Ta5
52* GW- lokking to replace it with something else
58*-SW/LW Titleist Vokey SM-08

I just recently got the vokey wedge used for about $45 US and I love it. It has good spin, not excessive, and is very easy to control. I am looking ot replace my GW but im not sure what loft to get to fill the gap. Im thinking either 51, 52 or 53 but I could just get a 52 and bend it to the loft i want. Any thoughts would be much apreciated and on the type of wedge

hi guys
i have 3 wedges (r7 pw and sw and cleverland cg14 black pearl 60*)
and from what i have heard from club pro's is that the more wedges you carry, generally the less good you are around the greans (when i say more wedges i mean 4,5 or even 6) . so rather better your approach shots then end up buying another lob wedge.

3 wood: ping G5 regular soft flex 15*
irons: taylormade r7 3-sw regular flex
lob wedge: cleverland cg14 blacker pearl 60*
putter: YES! cassie

    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
