I am planning on getting 2 new vokey wedges for my bag next year. I was thinking of getting a 52 and a 58. I figured the 52 would be my 100 yard and bunker club and the 58 would be for around the greens and when I need that little bit of extra height. I currently have a 50, 56, and 60. I rarely use all 3 in a round. However I was thinking that if I were just to buy a new 50 and 56 that i could always throw my current 60 in the bag if i needed to. I change my mind daily on what I should do so I was hoping you guys could help and give some of your opinions or tell what you would do.

What are your needs? Are there certain types of shots you want to hit? From what yardages?

I played 3 wedges on Friday with my Clevelands (TA1 9 iron, Mizuno Pro 50.5, 56, 60) and two wedges today with my old Titleists (9 iron, Vokey 52, Cleveland 588 57*). There were no shots I couldn't make with either setup. All the yardages were covered, I had a couple wedges for bunker shots (greenside and 50 yards) and I could hit a knockdown or a flop shot with each set. There is no perfect set of lofts - just stuff that gets the job done. Experiment with the ones you already have and see what you need, then you'll know what you're looking for, regardless of loft or brand name.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

When looking at wedges, be sure to check the shaft length of your old, and possible new wedges.

In the Vokey line, getting wedges at 50*, 54* and 58* would only give you 1/4 inch difference in shaft length. For numbered irons, it's usually 1/2 inch increments. So, you might end up with less distance between clubs than you think.

In the X-Forged, the shaft length difference from 50* to 56* is only 1/8 inch (assuming stock factory shaft length).

Just something to be aware of. A thread got into this a couple of weeks ago.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
