It fills the Distance Gaps for me, where I can take more full shots rather than trying to play too many touch shots.

Irons grab bag: 1-PW Golden Ram TW276, NV105 S; 1-PW Golden Ram TW282, RIP Tour 115 R; 2-PW Golden Ram Vibration Matched, NS Pro 950WF S; testing: Arias D-23 5i w/Modus 120 S General advice on wedge mixing: If you have an iron set PW you like, next find a SW you like. Then, find a GW that splits the difference between the two. A LW can then be added, although many golfers only use it for partial shots.Not a bad idea. I used to play the classic 52-56-60 but noticed that i hardly ever used the 56, and as a old short hitter i took out the 56 and added a wood in the long end. Overall, three wedges is an easy way to always ensure you have a 'perfect club for a specific yardage inside the 130 marker, but the reality is a lot of pros only have 2 wedges outside their iron set. Putter: Snake Eyes Viper Tour Sv1, 34" -or- Cleveland Huntington Beach #1, 34.5" -or- Golden Ram TW Custom, 34" -or- Rife Bimini, 34" -or- Maxfli TM-2, 35" Its many reasons, first of all that many play a PW with higher loft than 46* (47* and 48 is common on the tour)

Bunker shots. Lower bounce on the wedge is preferred for hard bunker shots and higher bounce is preferred for fluffy and soft bunkers. If the bounce is too high on harder surfaces, the club will bounce the leading edge into the ball and you will thin it a lot. If there is not enough bounce on a wedge in soft bunkers your club will dig instead of skim as it is supposed to. The P+2 guys usually are the ones that go mostly "feel", and have an approach 52/54 for stuff from 50-100, and a trusty 60 they really like for anything 15-50. Loft gaps is also a question of what clubs you play to full swing, and what wedges you only play to partials, so its many considerations to take before you choose, the same with sole properties and bounce.

Great question and in our opinion, it all depends on what type of player you are compared to your setup. The reality is players may have 52 stamped, but they are most likely adjusted to a specific degree, be it 50, 51.5 etc, and would recommend doing whatever suits you best vs comparing what the pros do. Next is actual gaps, loft itself is the most important, but if you play a different shaft for wedge, the same 4* of gaps might not be right into wedges. I generally play shorter course, 5800-6200 courses. This leaves me with a lot more shorter approaches to green.

If you're a more advanced player who wants many options and the top of your bag is covered, you can use a set up with either a 58 or 60 degree but by this stage of your golfing career, you should understand exactly what you want your wedge to do: In their infancy, the Vokey mission was a simple one. Listen to players describe their wedge shots, and craft a wedge grind that performed exactly how the player wanted. Grind in wedges is all to do with the sole and how it sits on the ground. Grind is a highly complicated area, and if you want to know more, then you can read and watch our 'Weducation' video here. We look specifically at the Vokey SM7 wedge and go through each grind. When talking wedges the words Titleist and Vokey are synonymous with each other. The Vokey brand carries a considerable level of equity thanks to years of painstaking research and development into what is often considered a 'boring' category for designers. Bob Vokey certainly doesn't see it that way, owning the category with Roger Cleveland since the late 1990s. If you do a "Pelz Grid", essentially about four tempo-driven swing lengths, and 4 wedge options, you get a consistent distance grid of 16 yardages, and 11-13 won't overlap. This gives you a pretty good set of choices from 125 and in.I'm painting with a wide brush here, but these are the most consistent two stories I hear. I've been down both roads. I've found for me that I'm a tempo kind of guy, probably because I was a drummer as a kid. "Feel" isn't mentally as flexible. Sure, I have feel, but not to the extent that I like. So normally, I have my numbers, I shoot my laser, I know about where I'm going to land it. It helps me to have a more narrow starting range, and the price was only a 3-wood I didn't hit well anyhow. I now have a good fairway option, and more yardage options from within 150 yards. I even went so far as to narrow my gaps to about 11 yards from my 6 iron down because statistically, most golf is three shots - driver, 150m or less approach, and putting. I am a decent driver, an ok putter, and my improving handicap is directly attributable to getting better options inside 165 yards. When mixing wedge models, be aware that some wedge models have hotter faces than others. In my case, I was getting wedges to go with my X20 Tours, which stopped at PW. Cleveland CG14s were in the mix for specialty.

I like this simple set up for recreational golfers as it has an even gapping to give you consistency with your short game. You actually do not need a 58 or 60 degree wedge if you're not practicing that club intensely. It will cost you more shots than help you if you do not really work at it. I have a Mizuno JPX919 Tour PW, which has a 46* loft. I plan on adding 3 more wedges to complete my set. My handicap is 8. I understand that the ideal gapping in my scenario would be 50;54;58 but I know many pros out there gap it 52;56;60 with a similar PW loft. We believe the most important things are correct gapping, ensuring you are fitted for wedges and having the right type in your hands that suit your swing + deciding on lofts depending on your capabilities to hit half and 3/4 shots. If you have that ability and are confident, trying going down to 2 wedges outside your iron set.My ability to hit shots from 50 yards up to 110 with my 52 makes me better. I generally only use my 58 from around the green or in bunkers. In golf, having the right set of wedges can greatly improve your short game. The wedges are clubs with a high loft angle designed for short distances, typically under 120 yards. Among the different types of wedges, the 50-54-58 wedge set is a popular choice for many golfers, especially those who play competitively or frequently. In this article, we will discuss the 50-54-58 wedge set in detail, including what it is, how to use it, and its benefits. What is a 50-54-58 Wedge Set? For me you should have less wedges, it makes you a better player as you will learn to hit "part" shots with them. Having a 50 and 54 in my eyes will make you always look for the perfect yardage, then you will struggle when you have something in the middle as you will always be looking to hit a full shot. That was my experience anyway when i used to play that setup.
Great Deal
