So Tiger carries a PW (47*), a 56*, and a 60* wedges. This seems different from what most people do because of the 9* gap between the PW and the 56*. I know that this is Tiger Woods and he has amazing distance control, but I wonder if anyone normal has used this setup effectively.

I used this until this upcoming year. I decided to get a 54* to replace the 56* because the 54 goes about 100 yards with a nice, easy swing. I had to power the 56 to get it 100 yards, and even then it would rip back, sometimes spinning off the front.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Don't know whether I'm "normal", but I currently use a Mizuno MP57 PW @ 47*, and Titleist Vokeys 56* and 60*. Seems to work OK. The distance gap between the PW (115 yds) and 56* (90 yards) is about 25 yards. I can hit a 3/4 PW about 105, so the gap is pretty well filled.

One thing to remember about most tour players is that they rarely hit a full wedge shot. Depending on pin placement, wind, green elevation and slope, they will adjust their swing length, ball position and club to suit.

Mmm... I think in the Nike Forged Blades, his PW is 50°, and that's when I'd always see the 50-56-60 from him.

The (relatively) new Nike VR Blades have a 47° PW, but I don't think that's been in the bag since the Memorial.

      My Swing (Rodders129)

      By Rodders129 · Posted

      . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score

      That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.

      Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas · Posted

      Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂
