52 degree wedge
Posted on 9/12/22 at 10:48 am
Posted on 9/12/22 at 10:48 am
I love my 60 degree cleveland. I love it around the greens and I like it from about 59 yards or so.
I also use it out of the sand.
My irons come with an “approach” wedge which I think is 50 degree? Seems like I’m always hitting over greens. It can easily go 115.
I feel like a 52 would give me a great 80-100 yard full swing.
Thoughts?

You should be able to confirm the degree of your approach wedge on the manufacturer's website.

I carry a 52 - it's a 90ish yard club for me. Lots of people tinker with their wedge game. I bet you could find what you're looking for on eBay (at a discounted price).
Would you sub the 50 degree out of your bag for the 52?

Yea I think so. I feel like ever time I use the 50 I’m trying to back off of it.
Which, granted, I need that shot also.

I don't know about you but I get in trouble when I start trying to hit partial shots with my wedges.... more than likely it's a lack of skill on my part. The rule of thumb is 3-4 degrees gapping between your wedges but you know your game better than anyone - and the shot distances you are consistently presented with.

You currently have nothing between 50 and 60 degrees?

Nope. I got the approach and the 60.
I have a sand wedge but I’m not crazy about it.
I use the 60 for sand, and anything 60 yards in or so. For like an 80 yard shot I either try a partial approach or just hit the bejeezus out of the 60, which does sometimes work.
Actually following a 56,52 Cleveland set on eBay at this moment.

I bought a 52° and it gives me real security blanket from about 100 to 105. I like my chances of making birdie a lot from that range now

This is why I want one! That distance exactly
Posted on 9/12/22 at 12:35 pm to BRsundog
My Callaway Apex irons have a PW & A(ss) wedge, I also have Vokey 52° & 56° wedges, all gapped 10yds, +/-…

I'd think a 54 or 56, a SW, to fill that gap between your Gap/Approach wedge and your.60* lob wedge.

You need more options.
I have a PW, 50, 54, and 58.
My 54 gets more work than any other club.

My Titleist set has a PW (43 degrees), GW1 (48 degrees), GW2 (53 degrees) and I carry a Ping 58 degree for sand/lob. I like the 53 around the greens since most places I play the greens are somewhat elevated.

I play 45PW, 50GW, and 56SW that is a 56D12. I honestly can't imagine going higher than 56 but I am considering going 54/58 with the 54 being the work horse around the green. Reason being I use the 50 a lot but need a little more bounce than what my stock GW gives which I think is 6-7*. Could use a 54 with 10* bounce, S grind or something like that. Looking at switching from Vokey to Mizuno T22 or Cleveland RTX wedges.

Really? Interesting. I might make the switch too. Just never fell in love with the Vokey this year.
I like the look of the Cleveland. The Mizunos are forged, like my irons, so interested in that feel.

I like partial shots.
If I’m around the green I putt if I can, chip if I can’t putt and pitch if there is a hazard in the line.
60 is just for flops and compact sand.
If I’m inside 80, I typically use the 55.
If pin is back I’ll use either 50 or even 45 depending on how much rollout I want.
I carry 45,50,55,60 wedges.
I never swing a wedge hard.
I just grab the next one.
I go to the pitching area and practice about once every 6 weeks just to try different shots.
Knee high, waist high, chest high, shoulder high.
Move hands down the grip to subtract a few yards.
All in all, I can probably only gauge the difference of about 10-15 yards. So my results are best at 50 yards. I cannot deliver a different swing on 45 yards or 55 yards.

I use my 52* wedge a ton. It's my 100 yd club on my standard swing. I carry a 56* also, don't carry a 60* at all. My 56* is right about 80yds for me. My PW is 46* and it's usually my 120yd club.
Posted on 9/13/22 at 8:58 am to BRsundog
You’re still going to be about 110 with the 52. If you’re trying to hit it 100-105, I’d go with a 54 or 56 degree.

I love my 52. I used to carry a 50 but my wedges were wearing out and I bought a set of 52, 56, 60 Vokeys. I was worried the 52 was going to be too short but it is fine. Any thing around 100 yards it is the club of choice. I also can use the 56 for that as well but if I have to step on it, it tends to balloon. I use the 56 100 in and in the sand. 3/4 swings mostly. The 60 is reserved for short sided shots out of sand or buried lies with a short porch.
