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.

How many clubs do you keep in your bag

I use a 48PW, 52, 56, and 60 but I keep the standard max of 14 clubs. No way would I sacrifice my 3 hybrid for a 44, which is only 2-3 off from a standard 9 iron.

He's only been playing a year, he doesn't need to base his wedges on the correct bounce for multiple types of sand. He uses a 54, he needs to stick with that since that's what he's used to and add a 58.
