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.
why a low bounce 52*?

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.

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

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*.

I have the GW and SW that match my set of irons. They're Cobra 3100 I/H's.

My PW is 45*. So I have the 50* GW, the 55* SW, and a CG14 60*.

    • 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.
