I have 5 “wedges” now:

44° “PW”
48°
52°
56°
60°

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.

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.

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.
