I used to use the PW that came with my set (47*) and added a 52*, 56* and 60* for a while, mostly only using the 52* and 56*. Sometimes a 60* lob wedge can be a great companion, but it is also so easy to hit a fat ball with, that I tend to trade it in for a 58*

Maybe I will opt for 2 wedges in future 52* and 58* only .....

47° PW Mizuno MP-57

why?

how big is the gap between 47* and 52*? it'll make the 52* redundant.

I carry a GW (50) 58, 64. I wouldn't mind carrying a 54 but I don't have many issues with the in between my 58 and 50. I can hit my 58 right at 95 and my 50 115. It is a big gap in distance but I like what I am carrying and don't want to drop a iron or buy another wedge.

I've got a 46º PW, 56º SW and a 62º Lob wedge. I'm having some trouble with the 62, and I'm thinking about swapping my current SW and Lob to a 52º GW and 58º SW.

Go for it!!

That's two 6 degree gaps - allow for some creativity without second guessing yourself on club selection - try to get a 52' that's good from the sand though (not a Titleist fanboy, but the Vokeys fit the bill here).

My wedges (normal bag setup)
PW: 48°/7 (part of DCI 962 set): 110-120 yards
GW: 51°/10 (Snake Eyes): 105-115 yards, but more bounce than PW
SW: 56°/11 (Vokey SM): max 105
LW: 60°/4 (Cleveland BeCu): max 85

I waffle between carrying the GW and not, there are a couple of shots at my local club that are just dialed in for that particular club and I'm very confident as a result, which helps out. I might bend it up to 52° to give me a bit more of a classic 4° spacing, though it's obviously more about the actual distance gaps than it is the number on the sole. I need to re-establish those gaps at a suitable location here in the near future, given that my distances have changed lately thanks to working on my swing.

I have a 50 degree Dunlop Powerlift PW. I could probably hit about 75 yards with it, probably 85 on a good day.

Also, I'm looking to get a nice sand wedge. Any suggestions?

I carry a 50 degree Cobra Gap Wedge and a 54 degree and 58 degree Cleveland CG14. The 54 is without a doubt my favorite club in the bag. The Clevelands are great clubs. Great feel from the fairway and the bunkers.

I also hear that Callaway sand wedges are pretty good also

    • Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
