Would 50* wedge be a good addition?

jesus 125 with 60*... i never use my 60* wedge for full shots, but I'd imagine it would be somewhere like 70 yards max.

my stock 125 yard shot is a choked down PW, or when I had my 52*, I'd punch it out there to 125. I've long put my 52* aside. I like hitting a soft PW.

If you go with a 50*, I'd probably drop the 52*, they are just too close to one another. If you do add a wedge instead of replace, you could go with something like a 48*.

Well, made the decision today to go with a 50* and gave the 52* to a friend. In the winter I think I will get me a 55* and get the 60* out of the bag and just roll with the 45-50-55 for wedges. I was at the range yesterday for my short irons-wedges practice time and realized how little I really use (or need) the 60*. Thanks for all the replies and thoughts!

Nevermind: just looked and there is no 55* Vokey? Hmmm, guess I'll just roll with a 50-56.

This is the correct answer

IMO

Solored,

Try the 50, you'll like it. My PW is 45* and is really like a 9 iron. So I went with 50, 54 and 58 with no regrets. I use all of them and my scoring has improved immensely. the 50 and 58 are 8* bounce and good for tighter lies on fairways. My 50 is my 100 yard club that will stop dead on the green. I use the 54-11 for chipping and sand. 58 is great for flop shots and chipping where higher loft is needed.

It is best to experiment and come up with shots that you are comfortable with. As we get better, we may switch back to just 2 extra wedges, but the fun is in trying different combinations.

Solored,

Yeah, I think I'll enjoy the 50*. I played a practice round today and played to get many of my approach shots from 115-120 and using my 52* I just couldn't get it there. I used my PW on a couple of the shots and did ok with a punch shot (the greens were very small on this par 68 course).

I love chipping with my 56*. Didn't even pull my 60* out of the bag today.
