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

you've been golfing awhile and you have over 1300 posts on this site... but you JUST realized you only have 13 clubs. You ARE joking right?

You probably have quite a distance gap there too... I'm not sure how I could live without a GW or SW.

I use the Cobra FP Wedges, the PW, GW, SW, LW. Lofts are as follows;
PW- 45°
GW- 50°
SW- 55°
LW- 60°

Thinking about taking my fathers Cleveland 588 Lob Wedge and Sand Wedge, but I personally prefer my wedges from what I've noticed so far.

I use a 48* PW, 52.13 GW, and 58.12 LW

I use the PW from about 110
the GW from about 100
and the LW from about 75

Now those are full swing

I use all of the clubs from chips ad such, depending on the green and other factors, and the same is true for pitches and such, it all depends on the situation. So I use them all for just about every shot that I need around the greens depending on the situation.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

PW - 45*
GW - 50*
SW - 56* Mizuno MP-T Raw Haze (10 bounce)

I just bought a 54.14 Vokey Oil Can Spin Milled, and took it out to the putting green. So far I have to say I'm not impressed, I'm trying to get more serious about golf this year and was wondering if I should be using a higher loft club for aroun the green (20 yards out to green side chipping) I want to be able to hop, check it. (I know that comes with practice) But what wedge should I start using? Also I'm not the greatest at spinning it to begin with, but what club would help me out the most if I were to start practicing.

If I should go to 56 or 60, how far can they bend a wedge? I've never had this done.

I use my PW 44 from 120-100 , my AW 49 for bump & Run and 90-70, my GW 52 from 70 on in and my 56 for flops only...I also have a SW I call "the masher" I use in traps...My AW has made it's way to my son's bag for now, but he'll be returning it soon and the 52 & 56 will rotate through....

So what club do you use for general chipping (not flopping) but just moderate trajectory to get it to hop once or twice and then stick?

Is 54 to low should I get a 60 or 56/58 for that?

I use a 54* 60* combo. I used to use my 60* all the time but now I'm starting to bump and run a bit more and it really gives you a shot at making it. Unlike a Lob wedge. It a bit difficult at first, so I transitioned slowly by starting by using a 9 iron so I still had loft, now I either use a 6 or 7. But anyway, I wanna switch my wedges to 52 56 60.

I've been a bump and run player using just a PW and SW, but in response to a recent golf vacation where I played courses I hope to play many more times, where flop shots, 80-95yd shots, and need to spin the ball was very important, I just got a 62.9 X-Tour MD grooves and a X-20 55.12 SW and added a RAC TP 52.8 AW.

I really believe the wedge set up depends on the courses you play. I've gone a long time with no lob or gap wedge with no trouble.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
