I've got the standard pitching wedge that came with my iron set along with a low-bounce 52 and high-bounce 56.

why a low bounce 52*?

normally the higher the loft the less bounce you put on the wedge. a high bounce 52* would be a better Idea, do you hit it fat often?

Used earlier: 48º, 52º, 56º, 60º

Use now: 48º, 52º, 58º Don't miss the extra wedge at all. I rarely lay up inside my 52º, so any shots inside that are feel shots where I will use the 52º or 58º, depending on lie, distance, pin location and desired trajectory.

No, high bounce is normal for high lofted clubs. When you get up to 60 and past it may get lower again, but around 56-58º, a bounce from 8 to 14 is normal, 8 and below on a GW. The higher lofted clubs are often used for bunker shots and flop shots, which are the only situations where the bounce comes into play. You want to hit the ball first on a chip shot or any pitch shot with a short to full swing. When you hit the ball first, the bounce doesn't come into play.ࢊ

I am currently using Vokey Spin-Mill 52, 56 and 60. I've thought about switching to a 52, 58 setup, but it's nice to have a 56 with a good amount of bounce for sand.

I've got a 58.12 that I use in bunkers, works great.

I use PW, 52°, 56° and 60°. I don't like hitting my wedges hard, cause I get a lot of backspin. Before that I used to have 54° and 58° but the 120 yards was a real problem, so I went with this set up and has worked well.

Depending on the course, I have a few wedges that I swap out.

I have a 52, 56, 60 and a 42 Niblick. When I put the Niblick in the bag, the 52 get very little play, so I swap back and forth, or sometimes carry both, and take a hybrid out of the bag or just play 15 clubs if I'm practicing.

I only have time to practice with one wedge. I would love to have time to hit all different kinds of shot with a 52, 56 and 60... someday.

Vokey's PW 48* SW 54* LW 60* since the groove change, I've switched to Ping tour W, SW 54* LW 58*

The Pings feel better to me with the custom tuning port that gives it a good solid feel and the tungsten toe weight helps with those less than perfect strikes, I have no use for a gap wedge as I can reach 110 and in with PW, 80 and in with SW and 60 and in with LW


The Pings feel better to me with the custom tuning port that gives it a good solid feel and the tungsten toe weight helps with those less than perfect strikes,

You really are the most shameless and gullible mouthpiece for manufacturers' marketing BS, aren't you? If you aren't parroting Titleist's advertising slogans as if they are gospel you're sprouting this nonsense. "Custom tuning ports" indeed! You are the perfect customer LOL

Please don't respond by cutting and pasting from their website, That's the point. LOL

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

 

 


As an ultimate beginner, I purchased a Bullet X Force-3 set to see if I like the game. (And now I'm addicted )
With the set came two wedges; 48* and 56*.

    • Since 99% of my tv watching is YouTube videos so is my golf watching. Seems to be mostly British stuff. 
    • When I got to Florida this season (seasons instead of years since the years overlap) one of the guys asked what I had done, said I was about twenty yards longer with my driver. Said that I had a different driver which was true but looking back it’s really the shaft that’s been the difference. It’s similar in principle to the Autoflex in that it’s light weight and also light flex. Since most of my clubs are bought used I have difficulty finding senior shafts most of the time and being old and slow that’s what I need. Bought the Callaway driver, for several years I preferred Ping drivers, because they only had a couple of used drivers with senior shafts in my price range and it’s been probably the best I’ve had. Longer and very forgiving, decent distance even on my mishits and almost always in play. Keep in mind that my swing speed is probably under 70mph. 
    • Day 17 - First round of the year. It took me about 6 holes to remember how to hit off grass. Short game was lacking, but the round could’ve been much worse. It’s nice that my new “bad” is my old “good.”
    • Yes this was what I was thinking you have two golfers same 5 HC same swing speed 110Mph ...one you changed the driver head to a 10yr old model head but the same loft etc the other you changed shaft ...now if its just 10yr old shaft of the same flex weight etc it would be more so the newer head IMHO ..but if the shaft was changed to softer flex lighter than player was use to then the shaft would be the winner IMHO
