I was just thinking about how weird my wedge set up in my bag is
46 degree PW (Ben Hogan BH-5)
48 degree 10 Iron (MacGregor Tournament Custom)-Goodwill Special $2.38
56 degree SW (Royal Regal)-Goodwill Special $2.38
60 degree LW (Aspire Tour Wedge)-Walmart Special $19.99

The thing is that I basically use the 10 iron for everything 50 yards and in (Pitches, Chips, flops). I rarely use the pitching wedge, maybe 1 or 2 times a round. The Lob wedge I use in the sand traps but this is usually only 1 or 2 times a round. The sand wedge I haven't touched in the last 4 rounds that I have played. So is it a bad thing that I use the 10 iron 15+ times per round and the others combined maybe 2 or 3 times per round? Will this hurt my game as I get better?

I was just thinking about how weird my wedge set up in my bag is

to really answer this question, i'd need to know the bounce of each of the wedges.

What's in the bag:

Driver: Adams 9064LS (project RIP Shaft) 9.5 degree
3 Wood: Titleist 909R 14.5 degree
Hybrid 3-iron: 19 degree Tour Professional (bent to 18 degrees)Hybrid 4-iron: 21 degree Tour ProfessionalIrons: Tour X-20 5-PW Project X 6.0 shaftsGap Wedge: Mizuno MP10 52.08 Sand Wedge: Mizuno MP10 58.10 Lob Wedge: Nike 62.06

Hard to answer your question, as I only carry 2 wedges, 45° PW and 56° SW (14° bounce). I find I can do most everything I need to do day in and day out with just those 2. Having the 2 that are only 2 degrees apart is a bit redundant, and I have no idea how you get by without using a SW. That has become my bread and butter club more and more. For me, using the 60° from sand was too limiting. About 40 feet was the limit for blasting out of a bunker, while with the SW, I can play as short as needed, but I can also play from 100 feet too, just by adjusting my swing strength. More versatility in one club just makes for a lighter bag to carry.

The Pw is 2 degrees of bounce. The 10 iron is 0. The 56 is 14 and the LW is 8.

I mainly use the LW for bunkers because where I play the bunkers are all hard and relativly close to the hole.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
