46° set pw 50,54,58 Cleveland rtx3.

Dont play a 5 wood or a 4 iron. So I have 2 hybrids and 4 wedges. Not very accurate from 200 and out so I'd rather have more options down low in the bag.

Have done 50/54/58 in the past and just find carrying the extra wedge causes me more issues ! Means i can carry more in the top end and i can look past the shanked 2iron cos i mean who hits them pure all the time but its cool to have in the bag right ?!

First of all, greetings to NTG! I graduated from UNT in 1998, and used to play golf at Eagle Green GC near campus before it got subdivided.

 

Anyway, back to "what the pros carry for wedges..." A minitour pro practices out of our golf club, and we discussed wedge mix one day. This is what he sees on the minitour: Big hitters tended to carry four wedges, because they wanted more options inside 150 since they hit the ball so far. Medium hitters tended to carry three wedges, because they wanted an extra club in the 200- to 220-yard range.

I just made the switch from Miura Black Forged wedges (50/54/58) to TM Hi Toe in 54/58 with TM MG 54/58 as backups.

 

The Hi Toe is insanely great out of bunkers, and my 58 is the go-to for anything inside of 80 yards in any condition. It's THAT versatile

Weird

...I have exactly the same. TRP, DVR, DVR respectively.

 

Do you find the gaps too wide? My course I need the long irons, and the layups are perfect for that 46, it's a sniper rifle.

Great inside info. Makes sense. What is considered a big hitter vs a medium hitter on the mini tours?

His rule of thumb: A big hitter **carries** his tee shot 270 yards or more. No details on rollout.

I actually bent my 52* to 51* & my 58* to 56* to give me a 5* gap, also, the 51* Gap gave me EXACTLY 100 yrs. And you are right, that 46 TRP is a surgeon tool!
