  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 carry three wedges:

PW: DCI 962 48
SW: Striker Tumba Line 52
LW: Striker Tumba Line 60

I keep my sand iron at 52 degrees of loft to not create a too large gap to my other irons. That way I pretty much only play full shots with my PW. The LW is my allround short game club, I use it on pretty much all shots inside 90 yards, including sand and chip shots.

(Striker is a cheapo Swedish brand, they are cast blade style wedges. Not too bad but starting to get too worn. Looking to upgrade to a Vokey 52.08 and a spin milled 60.04)

In my bag:
Driver: Titleist 909D2 11.5°, UST Proforce V2 85X
Wood: Titleist 909F2 15.5°, UST Proforce V2 Tour 95X
Hybrid: Nickent 3DX DC Ironwood 20°, UST Proforce V2 Tour 105X
Irons: Titleist AP2 4-GW, TTDG X100, 1° weak (except the 4i), 1° flat 

Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM56.14, SM60.07, TTDG X100, 1° flat

I entered 2, but I actually carry 3 if you want to include my Titlest PW from my iron set.

962B PW
54* Gunmetal Cleveland
60* Spin milled Titleist

4 wedges.
Callaway X-forged PW, 48°, Rifle Project X 6.5
Mizuno MP-R, Black nickel wedges, 52°, 56° and 60°. DG S300

Alright I changed my mind.
Turns out that any shot I thought I would need a 52º for I could accomplish with Pitch wedge. However, I need a Hybrid or 5 wood. I went with the Hybrid. I play on a Course with trees and often need a low shot with a 3 iron. So the 52º got sold out.

In the Staff bag:
D1
906F 15.5º
585H 19º
AP2 4-gw 56º & 60º Tiger Woods Newport Art of Putting 2.0 Pro Platinum

I carry 3. R7 PW 44 (ironset), Maxfli SW 52, Vokey 56. Love my SW, it's the first club I can stop the ball with on most every shot, 80 yards on in this is the one! I also have an R7 AW, but my son carries it most of the time with his RAC OS2's.

Right now I have two, my mp33 pitching wedge and 52 vokey. My 56 is laying in the middle of a lake somewhere, pure accident, and am now just waiting to get one next year.

Just for fun (or torture as the case may have been) I played my old Ping I3 MB wedges last week and no offense to anyone but compared to the Vokeys, they were like playing with toys. Absolutely no comparison. At least I had the wits to have my Vokey 250.08 wedge with me because it saved my butt. I cannot believe the difference, if you aren't playing with Vokey wedges, you my friend, are missing out.

    • Each year I participate in a two person scramble.  It's flighted after the first 18.  We play 54 hikes over 3 courses.  There is still opportunity for sand bagging.     
    • A fairly solid +7 round yesterday with a double/triple bogeys on 15th/17th for my two blow up holes. Still not up to full speed but there is sufficient distance to tackle a dry 6,000 yard course. Anyway, I often forget that the golf swing is sideways motion with a left side leading focus for majority of the BS and DS (for a right hander). That is the focus here dynamically active left side thigh, hip and upper torso with a low, below plane left hand to start the takeaway and a good left last stretch at P4 with hands. It is almost like my left side is shoving my right side out of the way and behind to start of the takeaway. I think if I were to get on a set of force plates now to compare against my motion a year ago (hypothetically since I didn't back then) I would show some good improvement. Hmm... I wonder who has a set that I can access..🤔😉
