For players thinking about adding a wedge, the same route could be the way to go, but they should talk to a custom-fitter about the smartest options based on the courses they play and the clubs they hit most often.
What a story it would be if Vegas was hoisting the trophy on Sunday, 20 years after he left Venezuela. How many wedges should you carry? More Golfweek. From The Web. I have no desire for a 60, nor another gap wedge to make my set look perfect on paper. I have 80, 60, 40 and 20 yard pitches with that club and Im damn good with it. Adding more wedges may seem like a clever idea on paper especially if you sell wedges , but ask yourself if you really want to be dinking around with that many tools while enjoying yourself on a sunny day at the course.
How bout instead, you have a little fun and learn to play well with one or two wedges. Imo, it will make the game more fun and will make you a better wedge player, ultimately lowering your score. Pretty much agree with Tim. I mean why let a player get away with using only 1 or 2 wedges when you can brain-wash them into thinking that are better?
I use an older lofted set of irons, 3-PW just hit a 6 instead of an 8 — the ball does not know the difference ending with a 52PW. I carry only a Sand Wedge 56 in addition to those. Better golf is achieved through more practice with less forgiving clubs. Most amateurs need 2 wedges…their P and their SW. Outside of that, you are just wasting money…. I can hit my PW anywhere from yards…. So I generally agree with this, and went from a 46 stock PW , 52, 58 setup to a 46, 50, 54, So there are so many times I get back from a round and I realize I never touched that Any suggestions?
YMMV as I play in the northeast on pretty classic courses where you short-side yourself very easily. I love it from y from high grass over trouble. I also love it for impossible chips. Doug McManus. I have recently worn out the faces of the Scor wedges, and would like to purchase a replacment set, any thoughts as close to Scor as possible?

Over the course of my golf life — for whatever reason — that strange affliction seems to crop up now and again. Same for the traditional putting yips. Those are nasty problems to deal with, but I have figured out a sound and effective way to beat them back into remission.
It is my belief that this inability to execute the simplest of strokes — whether it is with the putter or the wedge — comes from prior bad experiences. One chunk or skulled shot or badly missed footer sticks in your mind and makes you more uncomfortable and nervous when you face the next one.
You hit that next one just as bad and the nasty affliction has taken hold of your mind in such a way that your body cannot perform the simple action it knows how to do. Review your fundamentals. If one or more of those gets out of whack, then your body is not in sync with the shot your eyes see.
That causes unnoticed tension, and your hands try to take over to make the clubhead go where the eyes are looking, instead of where the body is pointing. Double down on your fundamentals! Check your grip pressure…again! Tension causes us to tighten up all over, but particularly in our grip, and even more specifically, to your master-hand pressure your right for right-handed players, of course. When results go a bit south on you, your tendency is to get more master-handed in an attempt to guide the clubhead to the ball.
Check your tempo. Anxiety begets tension which begets increased speed and wrecks your tempo and timing. The great thing about practicing your short game technique is that you do not need to go to the range.
You can do it in your basement, garage or back yard. Without any balls at all to get in the way, visit these first three points and re-learn or re-confirm your skill set.

We've got you covered with this piece. The US Open featured two of the most harrowing final-hole meltdowns in Major history, with Australian Geoff Ogilvy ultimately reigning supreme.
We also reviewed the best 60 degree wedges for which you can read as well. Many find the gap wedge controversial as it has been designed to fill the gap between the pitching wedge and the sand wedge. It is used for covering about yard distance for flop shots as its loft ranges from 50 to 55 degrees. Many golf experts and craftsman claim that gaping in wedges plays a very important role.
Even if you decide to include all four wedges in your golf bag, the recommendation is to have about four-degree gapping between the wedges. Of course, a tour pro who is used to practicing all sorts of short game shots like pitching, chipping, or out of the sand are aware of the importance of lowering the approach shots from three to two.
This allows them to assess their game in a way that they never regret not taking that one significant wedge. Club players might not be as skilled as pros, but they will equally need a good gapping between one wedge to another to shave off a few approach shots. So, finding a fitting pro that is able to make a good assessment of your swing speed, spin control, and accuracy to customize the loft of your wedges.
When preparing the golf bag, many golfers face the dilemma of what wedges to include. Among the golf clubs subject to trade-off, wedges, woods, and long irons play the main role. When professional golfers make room for their wedges, they leave out the longest irons and include a higher-lofted wedge. They usually take a lower-lofted hybrid to complement the bag and strengthen the loft of the longest iron they decide to take. Average and recreational golfers, though, need more than one hybrid, in addition to a 3-wood and a 5-wood.
This lowers their chances to include all the wedges in the range, so they might end up selecting just two wedges. In such a case, the highest wedge loft is not recommended to go over 56 degrees.
