    I am surprised so many people ditched their 60 but to be fair, I do not have a 58. I have a 47, 52 and 60. I like the setup personally. The 60 is such a spoon, it has launched over more bunkers than I'd like to admit.

    Yes, agreed, that is my experience.  At some point I may bend the 53 back to the original 52 and stick with 44, 48, 52 & 56 (4 degree gaps).  But with my skill, 5 degree may be better.

    Everyone's different.  I would never open up my 54º sand wedge with 14º of bounce, and my 60º is my favorite wedge in my bag... use it for most any shot around the green.
    Edit:  my pitching wedge is 48º.

    I just found that a 60 got me into more trouble than out of trouble, (carried a 60 for a long time).  I was more likely to make chunks and duffs with the 60.  And I really don't use the 58 all that much, but I feel more comfortable with it when I do.

    I refuse to play anything higher than 56º. I personally would rather open up my 56º to flop if I need height vs. trying to hit a 60º. IMO, a lot of amateurs make the mistake of thinking they need a 58º or 60º. And then are super uncomfortable actually hitting it because of the amount of loft.

    I’m closer to doing that than not while running with 46 - 50 - 54 - 60
    I’d love to ditch the SW and just go gap / lob but it would look more like 46 - 53 - 59
    I use the GW more than any other club during a round so as long as I can get that one right, anything is possible.

    Was thinking about this thread earlier when I was doing some swings and getting some gapping data.
    I like where my irons are at (t100 PW and gw) at 46 and 50 both bend 1 strong to 45 and 49 for help with the t150 gapping. 
    However it's left the 54 58 a little awkward.
    I have a set of 52,56,60 which in trying and so far really like. I think I may go to 53,57,61 for my 4 degree gaps and just a little extra bounce.
    It would be unconventional, but hey it could work brilliantly!

    I’m currently sitting without a LW in my bag and not sure if I would put one back in. PW - 44°, GW - 49°, SW - 54°. I had a 60° in for quite a while but very rarely used it. Probably less than two swings in a ten round stint would be my guess. Maybe a 58° would be more useful to me.

    I’m actually testing out new wedges right now I have mizuno jpx923 hot metal my Gap wedge is a 48 the logic would be 52-56-60 but I feel like that’s to many wedges 😅 gonna have to try a 53/58 combo

    I have that exact setup.  PW 44, GW 48, 53 SW and 58 LW.  My 53 is a 52 bent 1 degree.

    Anyone using this set up for their wedges? Haven't run into anyone using the same system. But definitely found it more versatile than i originally thought it would be.
    Decided to dump the set GW when I switched irons (Zx5 mkII) in spring. But with stronger lofts and set GW being 47-50* now and PW being sub 45*. My gaps were to big and I i wanted a lower lofted wedge to use around the green since I dont use my set PW for chip shots.

    Met a guy who only carried 1 FW and 2 lob wedges as well for the same reason. One low bounce the other high bounce.

    48, 54, 58 for me. The 48 is a 2021 T200 gap wedge, 54 is a Vokey SM8 54 S, and, the 58 is a SM5 K.
    I have a 52F SM6, but, it seemed a bit close to my 48, so, I went with a 54, which, I find to quite versatile around the green.

    I have this exact set up. It fits all my needs. I only have a Driver and 5 wood so I actually have two 58s (1 low bounce, 1 high bounce) for versatility.

    Mine wedge set up is Pw-45*, Gw-49*, Sw-54*, Lw-58*.
    But it's mainly cause when I got Arccos, the stats showed that I never used the 60* (2 shots in 20+ rounds).  So I swithed LW to 58* which was too similar to SW 56*.  That became SW 54*. The GW is always my 100 yard club, so after a couple simulator sessions, I had it bent to 49* to get a consistant 100 carry.

    I have this set up and it works just fine for me. My PW is 45* and the 48 fills the gap between that and the 54 just fine.

    Callaway came out with a super hybrid several years ago. Was suited for higher ball speed players but had driver technology in an oversized hybrid. They released an epic super hybrid that was more forgiving and brought out the UW or Utility Wood for better players (phil and xander played it). Now they have the Paradym super hybrid which is an absolute rocket launcher for distance as a hybrid.
    Also Cleveland came out with the Hy-wood, their version of an over sized hybrid to replace FW. Theirs is much more game improvement biased but still a great option for those who struggle with FW.

    Did it about a year ago and pulled my 5w and 7w out of the bag. Added a 3hy back into it along with a 2 super hybrid. Already have a 4hy so the transition was easy. Best choice. Lost minimal distance but added consistency and more utility with the hybrids over fairway woods.

    Just added mine to the bag replacing the g425 max. Seeing about 6-8 yards more carry but due to the reduced spin, about 18-20 total yards more.

    Garmin Approach S62. I love it. Tracks every shot, provides real life distance for all clubs, tons of data syncs with the app, still learning all the applications. Best purchase in a while.

    Do the same thing... 1 ft then back a foot after each make. Always try and sink three straight  6 ft on the small cup to finish my session.
