No fringe I would go 60º and if there is some room to pitch and run it a bit I would go with a 54º just to limit the chance of it not coming out of a fluffy lie.

revkev Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Intriguing question and interesting array of answers - mine will come in the form of my stock from this distances, changes in lie, turf conditions, etc might change the choices - here goes: 1. 9 iron 2. Putter 3. 54 4. 59 5. 59 6. 59 7. 54 (if it were a low lip I could go 8 iron) 8. 59 8. GW bump and run - I’m very good at these with anything from 8 iron to GW 9. 59 I think a lot of our answers speak to where we play as much as what we are best at. I see wedges on 15 yard shots in the fairway and think, “chunk.” You even see your players shy away from that shot on the Florida swing.

Kenny B Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 9 hours ago, RPJR said: The OP's questions are really good questions. It would be great if people would include what kind of bounce and grind they have on their wedges to play particular shots. Wedge bounce angle and grind, and how you match wedges with your technique and angle of attack are helpful information...(particularly for those of us in the market for new wedges!) Example: A. Short sided, bunker to carry, tight or hardpan lie B. Same shot as A, rough. Anyone able to use a high bounce wedge to pull off shot A? For example, I know I can execute shot A with a Vokey M grind, but am wondering if I could pull it off with the D grind. Anyone? I practice these shots because I get them a lot. A. Most all my shots are with my 60/12º Callaway PM Grind; B. 60/12º but I might use my 54/14º Callaway PM Grind depending on what the rough looks like.

Shapotomous Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 4,5,6,7,8 are all 57* (SW) shots for me unless the "long" bunker shot is more than 40 yards, then I'll use the 53*. 1 is an 8 or 9 bump & run 2 is a putter or 57* depending on how much fringe, grain direction, etc makes the putt roll too chancy. 3, 9, 10 will most likely be a 53* GolfSpy_SHARK 1 Quote Modern Bag: G410 LST 10.5*, Hzrdus Smoke RDX 6.5 Flex; 915F 3w, Diamana S+ 70 S flex; Snake Eyes 18* 2h, 23* 4h & 27* 5h; JPX 900 Forged 6 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Edison 2.0 49*, 53*, 57* KBS Tour 120 S; Heppler Fetch; Ball - MTB-X; Bag - Jones MyGolfSpy Edition!

For example, I know I can execute shot A with a Vokey M grind, but am wondering if I could pull it off with the D grind. Anyone? There are so many things to consider. I personally believe you can pull off most shots with any bounce and grind and that technique trumps all. Bounce and grind may make specific shots easier based on the technique we use. We would also have to consider ball position (how shot sided) and what results you expect from the shot. In your example A, is 20 feet past the hole a good shot? Depending on all the factors getting the ball inside 6’ may be a 1 in 1000 type shot and not something I am expecting even if I have the “perfect” club and “perfect” technique. In A and B I am probably playing my 58/12 (highest loft bounce in my bag); for A it will be stock pitch maybe a ball back and for B it will depend on how much club I can get on the ball so it could be back 2 balls to 2 balls up.

Middler Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 From a higher HI player (13+) who seems to do better practicing fewer wedges/clubs vs many (depends on slope, traps/hazards and consequences of miss): 1 - Just off the green, lots of green to work with, fairway lie putter, GW downhill or 9i uphill or slow greens 2 - Just off the green, shortsided, fairway lie putter or GW 3-4 GW 5-6-7-8 56, high bounce inside 70 yards 9-10 GW or 9i I only use my 60, low bounce when shortsided with a hazard between me and the pin, so I don't practice with my 60 as much.

Different grasses require different techniques and angle of attack. Someone who is used to lots of shaft lean and hitting down on the ball with bent grass is going to struggle on Bermuda. Thick rough vs not so thick rough is going to change it but also what works for one in that situation may not work for another. Some like to cut their wedges and others draw them. I can use the same wedge and hit 3 different shots with them altering the height of each and where they land simply by changing swing tempo. Low shot that lands quickly and runs out just use a shorter and faster stroke. Want to do a medium height with landing the ball further then use a medium speed swing and for a higher longer carry use a slower speed swing. If anyone wants some easy to use steps for playing wedges get Monte scheinblums use the bounce (this one is free) and/or use the bounce 2.0 series (best $24 you will spend) on his website.

JohnSmalls Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 48 minutes ago, jlukes said: Simple is good. I hear what you are saying about your D7s and a hot face. I even struggle with my 9i/PW of my JPX Tours because the ball seemingly comes off a bit quicker (obviously some of that due to the lower loft). Tiger Woods, for as good as he is, uses his SW for most of his short game shots because he manipulates the face as needed. Based on what I see with the random people I get paired with, I think amateur golfers rely far too much on their highest lofted wedge around the greens. I can't remember where I read it, either here or elsewhere online, but my short game improved dramatically when I simplified club selection. Even though I use my highest lofted wedge often, I agree with you 100%. One of the primary reasons that I don't carry a 60* any longer is because I realized that I was losing too many strokes around the green and that my 56* was a much better club for me. Simplify and take the temptation away. I rarely find a time that I wish I had a 60* back in the bag because I know my 56* can handle the job. Putter from off the green is highly underutilized and underrated by many amateurs IMO.

When I see a short side or sand shot the 57* is used; lots of green with a good lie its bump & run time, if its in the rough and not short sided then its the 53*.

ckeller52 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I only have one wedge. A 54° Vokey SM9. So everything around the green that's fairly level I use that. Also all bunker shots. The Approach wedge that came with ZX5 set is a 50° so if I'm further out than 60 yards or so I use that. This makes me get used to distances and keeps me comfortable with contact. I use these and I know what they will do, or won't do. Shapotomous 1 Quote -ckeller52 What's in the bag? This is....

RDel90 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 My bag is setup with Mizuno T22s. I try to keep it as simple as possible. Everything 60 yds in is my 58-12 deg bounce. When chipping bump and run (within 3-5 yds from green) I'll go as low as 8i depending on how much green to work with. Pitching outside the 5 yd from greenside range, I just go with the 58. Depending on lie I'll work the face, open it up in the rough. Full swing 58 from the fairway for me is about 77 yds. Bunker side sand is exclusively my 54-10 deg bounce. Again working the face depending on distance. Everything 60-115 yds is my 50-07 deg bounce. Just clock the swing for distance. Since it's pretty much full sole, I don't really work the face much. I selected the Mizuno D grind for my 54 and 58 which has good toe/heel relief allowing to face manipulation. S Grind on my 50 is full sole/minimal relief as I usually take more full swings with this.
