Wedge question?

[gcally]

I need some advice on which wedges to carry, I am new to the wedge bounce thing.
Here is what I have at home to choose from all are Vokey oil can’s:
254-10
256-10
256-14
260-04

I am planning to carry the 254-10 (for all fairway shots and most chips), 256-14 (for all deep rough and fluffy sand), and the 260-04 (for the flop shots).

I do not know if I a going overkill by carrying the 256-14. It would be nice to have a high bounce wedge for the sand and deep rough. Is the high bounce 56 that much better out of the sand and rough? Is it worth caring? How many of you guys carry a high and low bounce wedge.

Thanks Greg

I carry a 54.10 and a 60.04.

When you open the 54 to 56 degrees of loft, you've got almost 12+ degrees of bounce anyway. The sand I play on is usually firmer, so I play my 60 as often as my 54, and I appreciate having a bit less bounce for firmer conditions elsewhere around the greens. I think having two wedges only 2 degrees apart is overkill. But the bounce of the wedges you do use is more related to your sand and turf conditions and the kinds of shots you play from them. For me, less bounce is fine, and 54/60 spaces my gaps appropriately.

Agreed. If you think about your full shots 2 degree will only give you about 5-8 yards difference. I've got my wedges spaced 4-5 degrees apart from each other. I also use wedges with low bounce considering how firm the courses are out here.
