when i first got my 60 Degree wedge i used it for every chip or pitch, then i thought.. If i have 15 feet of green to work with then why use my 60 degree? Now i use my 60 degree and my pitching wedge equally, but unfortunatly have only chipped in once this year :(

60* LW... mainly because my approach shots miss the green by a little bit lol

Hi-Bore XLS 19* Hybrid Dynamic Gold S300
MP-60 4 thru PW Dynamic Gold S300 .588 REG 54* SW Vokey 58* LWSTX Greeny IV putter


I use my 56* for anything within 110yds. Love that club

Driver- 580XD
3wood and 5 wood- Wal-Mart special
Irons- MX-25 4-pw
Wedges- MX-25 gw 51* 588 56*
Putter- DFX5500


I'm playing PW, 52 and 58. Around the greens I use the 52 and PW the most. I really only use my 58 for 60-80 yard shots, lobs and bunkers.

I find myself using my 60 a lot. Mostly because i'm in bad spots so often. I've been experimenting with lower lofted clubs for greenside chipping though.

In my bag:
X 460
hawkeye VFT 3 & 5 woods
MX-23 3-pw
MP-T 54*, 58*Newport TeI3/anser


I mostly use my 60* LW the most. Of course it depends on the shot, but it usually needs this club.

I use my SW the most by far, mainly because I don't have a LW. I've become extremly handi in maniuplating the distance in which I can hit it. I can take a full swing and hit it 80 or so yards, or take a full swing choked down and pop it up 15 yards, its an old club, but I like it. I also carry a 50 degree gap, and a pitching wedge, althouh I'll drop one when I add a LW, hopefully a vokey :)

252/08 stock Vokey bent upright to my iron specs.

2nd?

60*/08 that is modified to 58*/06 because...

Titleist don't care about lefties since Phil left the company and Eric Axley ain't good enough to demand a 60/4 as a standard wedge choice for the LH fraternity.

Yet I'm totally and forever loyal to Titleist...or Ping...or Wilson...or TaylorMade...or any clubmaker that has furnished a Lefty Pro Golfer with equipment.

Short answer? 52 Vokey. Long? Ping Eye2 PW.

LOL

I use a 10+ years-old Wilson pitching wedge I got second-hand from a friend.
It's the most versatile club for me for the short game 110 yards or less.

I have 3 Taylormade wedges, 48 degree (PW), 54 degree (PW), and a 58 degree. I primarily use my SW. If you can use a sand wedge from anywhere around the green then it really expands your flexibility with all wedges.

56* is my main wedge followed by my 52* then 60*

As the season has worn on, I have started using my SW for much of my greenside work. I bought it just last February, and it took me a few months of practicing and playing with it to get the right feel for it, but now I prefer it to any of my other wedges for most of my chipping and pitching. My vote in the poll was for the GW, and I can't take it back now.

My PW and GW are still part of the arsenal, but they are now relegated to the longer shots, 40 yards and longer. Close in it is almost exclusively the Cleveland 56° SW.

I use my sand wedge (56 deg CG10) and it shows with lots of wear :D
Just found how to use it in a variety of situations the best and have the most confidence with it

Anything inside 50 yards is lob wedge for lofted shots and I'll chip with anything from LW to 7-iron. Out of the sand I'll use anything from PW to LW depending on the condition of the sand and how much green I've got to work with.

To be perfectly honest I avoid wedges at almost all costs.

I'm much better with my 9 iron for whatever reason, but when I do need a wedge I use the PW or LW at almost the same frequency.

    • Lazarus Irons....top notch and way cheaper than the big brands.
    • I know you guys were discussing this like a year ago. But, ironically I just had this discussion with my brother-in-law. We literally just did one of these. I'd always used the "Slow-Cook, Rest, and Sear" Method. But my bother-in-law was convinced the "5-Min/lb, 500 degree" method was the way. So, we gave it a go. I have to say it came out great.  I have a 25 year old, electric oven, GE brand... Not sure if that matters, but it came out great. ... Of course we stressed that nobody was to open the oven.   I don't make these all that often so, I'm not sure if I can fully recommend one method or the other, because without doing a Pepsi Challenge, I'd say both ways come out great. 👍😁👍
