What three wedges do you roll with? P, Sand, Lob, Gap? Or do you go all 4?

A good part of my clubs are wedges. I play a set of Ping iE1 irons from 2015 that has a 45* PW and 50* U wedge. I also use Cleveland Wedges in 52, 56 & 60*. 

 

PW- 130 yards

U - 120 yards

52- 110 yards

56- 100 yards

60- 85 yards

47/52/56/60

 

The 56 and 60 have different bounces and grinds. Those differences — rather than the different lofts — are why I keep them both instead of just going with a 58.

I just use P and Gap but that's because it's all I have 😛 

If your relatively new to the game, and I’m thinking you might be, I’d get a 56 degree wedge and you will be all set for the foreseeable future.  Almost all golfers are going to benefit from something 56 degrees or at least 54 degrees.  If I wasn’t going to have a lob wedge I would personally go 56 for sure.  Lob wedges are tricky for new golfers and you will be able to do anything you need to do with a 56.  It will make most bunker shots easier and give you an option for delicate shots around the green and you can open the face if you need to hit a higher shot or want to try and hit a flop (usually not a good idea if you are new to the game).  At some point you may want a lob wedge, but it really depends on how much practice you put in and how serious you get.  Many people are just fine with a 56 as their highest lofted wedge, and many would be better off if they never hit their lob wedge.

Set PW at 46, then TM Hi-Toe's at 50, 55 & 60

PW = 130

50 = 115

55 = 100

60 = 85

 

That's a solid yardage spread on smooth swings and works perfectly for my game. I've got a new 60 on order with a different sole grind, as the one I have is horrible out of bunkers, but awesome everywhere else. It needs to be awesome out of bunkers too (like the 55) to stay in the bag.

All 4.  Rather have more options for ball flight and distance inside 130 yards than beyond.

Just gone from 4 wedges (PW, 50, 54, 58) down to 3 (PW, 52, 56) so I could put a hybrid and DI into my bag. I'm a lot more comfortable taking some distance off a wedge than I am the longer clubs, and never really used my 58, so thought I'd tweak the set up a bit. Only 3 games in, but so far so good.

 

(Expect me to be back to 4 wedges next week in that case :))

PW, S and L.  No need for gap wedge.  I can hit all sorts of shots with my PW to cover the distance gap.

Currently: 45°, 50°, 54°, 58°, but I might switch to the 0311T's (which would make it 46° and 51° instead of 45° and 50°) to tighten the gaps ever so slightly.

All 4 currently, but considering switching the 56/60 to a 58 so I can add my driving iron back into the lineup.

I have played just about every conceivable combination.

 

Currently FOUR: 46 (set wedge), 50, 54, 58 (all Mizunos)

 

Considering FIVE (all Vokeys): 46F, 50F, 54S, 58D, 62M (some of these already ordered)

 

I love playing a low-bounce 62 and a high bounce 58. Might go back to that and just pull my five iron out. Can usually cover that distance pretty well with my relatively high-launching HMB four-iron. The Vokey 54S is my all-time favorite chipping club.

I’ve got PW, GW, SW and LW (46, 50, 54, 58).  Still not sure I need 4 wedges as it has not really provided any benefit I can tell.  I may bend the GW back to 52 degrees (as it was originally) and take out the SW to have PW, GW and LW (46, 52, 58).

PW (46)

50

54

58

 

 

I'm starting to think that having less wedges might be the move (something like PW, 52, 58). It might force me to be little more creative, but also just make things more straight-forward.
