balle1sa Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I play the Nike VR Forged black oxide wedges. Currently have a 52*, 56* and 60*. For some reason can't hit the 52* very well (think it's mental at this point). The 56 is my go to for anything within 100 yards. I keep the 60* in the bag because its great for nice little, easy shots around 30 yards. Gets me close every-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cksurfdude Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Another one here with 50/54/58; currently MD3 on older Callaway M75i graphite shafts. Prior to that was Cally Forged on those same shafts (just put the newer MD3 heads on), and prior to that was Cally X-Jaws on a mix of TT-DG steel shafts. That wedge gapping works well for me, and allows me to (attempt to ) play a variety of shots with each. Wouldn't consider dropping a wedge, even tho yeah I can hit any one of them .. or even the 45° PW .. short/long, hi/lo, etc. But the closer you get .. the harder the game gets .. and I prefer to have the "right tool" at hand. I was not as comfortable with the 58 as with the 54, so during a lesson I asked the instructor for help and now I spend a lot of practice time with that club so I can have more confidence in executing those close-in shots.

bens197 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I've been playing a 46 - 52 - 58 for the past ten years. I only carry 13 clubs and have found that these are very manageable. Right now it's 47 - 52 - 59 and can tweak that if it isn't working well. Sure I could add a 55 in there but I feel like I can do more with less. Besides, I'm not exclusively wedge when I'm around the greens.

I bought a Cobra hybrid direct from them once that had the worst grip job I have ever seen on a new club. Not real sure. It is waaaay to flat. I have to almost sit down to make it work. I've also decided that I prefer the feel of cavity back clubs. So, I'll be ordering the PING wedges instead. Probably the iBlade's to go with them. They feel “softer†to me. So there it is, I'm no longer a MB fanatic. Side note. I just hit some healthy 8 irons, can't wait for the snow to melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waazzupppp Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I am currently bagging a FG100 blade pitching wedge at 47° plus a 51°, 56° and 60° PMP wedge setup. I had a 50° wedge bent to 51° so I could get the proper gapping on them, but basically, the 60° goes about 80 yards on a normal shot, the 56° is my 100 yard club and the 51° is about 120. The PW hits pretty much 132 on the money every time, so my gapping is about 12-15 yards a club from there up. I used to carry a 54° and a 58° wedge back in the day, but neither one of those was that magic 100 yard club. I could easily drop the 60° now, but I actually only have about 8 clubs I use during standard rounds now, so I'll keep the 60 in the bag for softer pitches and full 75-80 yard shots. I did an experiment over the winter months and kept my two higher lofted wedges in the bag for a few rounds and only used the 51° for all my "inside 120 shots" and my scores went down quite a bit. For me, it all came down to gapping and getting that 100 yard club in my bag. That 56° was the one that controlled the gapping for the other two for me.
