Wedge Lofts
Posted on 8/31/23 at 12:44 pm
Posted on 8/31/23 at 12:44 pm
Been playing for about a year now, have only had a 54 degree wedge. Have used it for out of the sand, around the green, and about 90 yards and in.
Looking at getting a set of wedges and not sure about going to 52,56,60 vs sticking with the 54 and getting a 58.
Any advice?

What is your PW loft?
Posted on 8/31/23 at 12:47 pm to Yellajersey
I have a 56* mid bounce and 60* low bounce. My gap wedge is 50*.

What's your handicap? I think a PW, SW, and LW is more than sufficient for most golfers.

My wedges go 46, 50, 54 & 58. I barely use the 58 and would be just fine taking it out of the bag.

58 sounds good, but you likely need a 48 or a 50 as well.
Many set wedges have drifted down to 43 or 44.
Cobra set wedge recently was 41.5.
Find a way to check your lofts.

Go to a simulator or a demo day with a trackman outside. This question is impossible to answer without knowing the distances on your PW, but you are just trying to bridge the gap between your wedges.
3 vs. 2 wedges just comes down to where you feel more comfortable working with larger gaps in yardage, either your short game or your woods.

My PW is 45° so I went 50,55(54 bent weaker) and 60..
But, of you're comfortable with hit the 54 on a lot of shots I would just add a 58 or 60 to the bag and see if that works out.. as opposed to buying 3 wedges.

PW, 50, 54, 58

I have 5 “wedges” now:
44° “PW”
48°
52°
56°
60°
I use the last 3 around the green depending on the shot required and lie/turf conditions. I highly suggest having one wedge with higher bounce and one with lower bounce to use from different sand and turf conditions. A low bounce lob wedge does you no good in fluffy sand. But a high bounce sand wedge is useless in wet compacted bunkers. Wedge bounce and grinds are more important than what loft you use, IMO.

My 56 degree loft wedge is very ambedextrous.
It can be a 52, a 58, a 60, and a 64.

A lot of it is distance based. Know your gaps in distance and find a degree that gives you that gap. Mine are about 15 yards between my PW, 52, 56, and 60 so it works for me. But I used to have a big gap between my PW and 54 so needed something to fill that.

I carry 50, 54 and 58 wedges. PW is 46.

54 & 58 vokeys

I’m going to against the grain some and say if you’re not a great golfer, you should get a gap wedge and a 56 degree and that’s it.

50,55,60 here
The 50 gets out to 130ish
Pw can be dialed in to 135 from there if needed
