third (fourth) wedge ????

[Gerald]

I currently play AP2 and BV 52/08 + 58/08 ..... but in the sand I think it sometimes would be a plus to have a SW with more bounce, especially when the sand is a bit softer.

So I am thinking of adding an in between wedge, like the BV 54/11 and to have the 52/08 bended to a 50/06 or 51/07 ....... any thoughts ???

Just curious, how is the 58/08 off of tight lies and really hard ground?

Don't think it would be a problem.  I've got a 52/8 Vokey, no problem off tight lies.  Same goes for my 52/7, 54/10, 58/10, and 60/7 wedges.  8* isn't a lot of bounce for a wedge.

8* bounce is about as standard as the bounce in any set's PW, so it is quite universal for tight lies and hardpan ........ I have had a 60/04 but that can be very critical...... unless you are very precise !

Suggestion to to Gerald. Could you pick up a 58* with bounce of 12 or 14, and carry it on days when you're facing softer sand? From the fairway you could deloft the higher-bounce 58* degree to cut down on the bounce. Also, some companies make variable-bounce wedges. Reid Lockhart models: Eidolon models:[URL=http://www.eidolongolf.com/v-sole-wedge.html][URL=http://www.golflink.com/golf-equipment/product-detail.aspx?p=135542][/URL][/URL] [INDENT]Eidolon has a V-sole design in which the sole has "roof grind" to it. You can increase or decrease bounce with your set-up.[/INDENT] Some people say the Cleveland DSG grinds are variable-bounce, but not all people agree with this. See this Golfwrx link for details: [URL=http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/158348-multiple-bounce-wedges/][/URL] Around here, I met a player who has CG12 model 60.04 LW. He plays it mainly in spring and fall, when grass is scruffy. Sorry, but wedge site URLs keep disappearing when I post this!!

Gerald, I don't know what your distances are and gaps between clubs. What I've chosen for my final setup to go with 4 wedges, PW (47), Nike SV tour 52/10 bent to 51/9, BV 54/8 bent to 55/9 and BV 60/04. I chose this setup more than anything for full shots within 130 yds. I have not had a problem with the bounce of 9 degrees in fluffly sand.
