How many wedges are in your bag?

[Chitown44]

Four

48

52

56

60

[Badgermc76]

I carry the 3 edel wedges. Very good, 50, 54, 58. Weight on Toe end. Based on my Arcoss stats, this is only second behind my putting.  

[FallenSaber]

I have 3, not including the pitching wedge. I don't feel like I've truly used them properly but lately I've made a concerted effort to use all my wedges the way they are intended. I use to use my PW as my go to for almost any situation.

[GolfSpy_APH]

Always a hot topic and difficult decision for many. I'm at 4 and seems standard, but I could even add a 5th because the top end of my bag seems fine.

[Franc38]

I have two past my PW (47°) two SM7 a 52° and a 58°. The PW is wedge only in name, I use it as a 10 iron, mostly full shots (about 145 yards) and the odd chip-and-roll. The 52° is the Swiss knife of "shortish game" and gets used for everything between a full 130-ish yard shot to pitches as short as 20 yards, and chipped quite often as well. The 58° is the titular for bunkers and flops and chips out of the rough when I try to get stopping power. In rare occasions where the greens are ULTRA-hard, the 58 gets used for pitching from 100 yards in, but I don't like that as I tends to overspin it and it flies too high (and I play on a very windy course most of the time).

I agree with you 100 percent! I now have the Callaway PW, AW and PXG 0311 3X 54 and 58. I could go to 51, 55, 59 to complement the Callaway irons. 

[MHock]

4 - 47 PW, 52 AW, 56 SW, 60 LW. 
All Callaway Jaws except for the 56, which is a Vokey SM9

[B_R_A_D_Y]

One length Cobra set with PW, GW, & SW … there is a massive distance gap between my GW & SW that causes me to have to finesse a GW instead of hitting a full SW that won’t get there.  Some days it seems I hit in the middle of that gap several times a round. Then I have my favorite … 56* Callaway Apex PM grind and a matching 60* I flop over crap or on short side shots. We have several elevations next to greens that can create situation of chipping down to a green slopping away. 

[jkfults69]

Ping PW, Ping UW, Titliest Vokey 56°, Titliest Vokey 60°

[ScramblinMan]

Recently purchased the Paridym irons and included the P and A wedge so needed something with higher lofts so decided to go with the Jaws 54 and 58 degree. Love the Paradyms but not a big fan of the Jaws wedges. May go back to the Vokey wedges that I had with my Mizuno irons.

[BobBC78]

Four: W, UW and SW G710 set wedges and an Eye-2 Gorge SW on which Ping ground off the back of the bounce and set up like an "Eye-2+" LW.  

[davewr58]

I carry 5. PW, GW, SW 60*/4* bounce, 64*/8* bounce.

[MacTourney]

Two in service.

Whatever wedge is with the set I'm using, number #10 on some, or they could be swapped out with a Hogan-wedge or other sand iron.     Then my baby, Cleveland-Rossignol 588, who never met a situation that made it shiver, never met a shot it didn't embrace, and never met a wager it didn't like.  That 588 has paid for itself enough times I could buy 3 sets of PXGs. 

[Shinnman]

With loft jacking, I’m now carrying 4 wedges.  46, 50, 54, 58

 

PW is 41*

[Swood1994]

I feel like all the wedge threads are coming across my feed lately and I’m here for it.

My irons are still fairly standard lofts. I currently carry 4 wedges all SM8 Vokey’s 46.10, 50.12, 54.14, 58.12.

The 58 may be swapped out for a 60 with lower bounce at some courses and the 50 is usually for full shots at 120-125 but might be replaced by a utility iron and I’ll learn to flight the 46 into that yardage as it currently goes 135

[Mark DeProspero]

Sub70 699Pro pitching wedge at 45 and Gap at 50 degrees.  Sub70 JB raw wedges at 54 and 58 degrees.  Can lay the 58 open and hit pretty solid flop shots and happy with all wedges at this point.

I’m curious to hear thoughts on gapping between wedges. What do people find gives them the best options on the course? 
 

Currently have PW (41*), 52*, 56*, 60* but thinking of bending my 52* and my 56* down 2* to give me some better gapping.

 

Difference between my PW and my 52 is about 20 yds and I tend to find myself with a fair number of shots in between that I have to land short with the 52* most of the time. 
 

I could hit a soft PW but find that I don’t have as much control as I’d like. I tend to do ½ and ¾ swings with my 56 and 60 when needed but for some reason don’t have the same confidence with my PW (perhaps the bounce and grind have something to do with it). 
 

Anyway, curious to hear what others have to done to address their gapping. 

I used to have the same problem with about 20 yds between my 47 deg PW from the iron set and the 52 deg specialty wedge. Since I now have a 45 deg PW and a 50 deg AW that are part of my iron set and 54 deg and 58 deg specialty wedges, gapping is a lot tighter. My stock gapping is below:

PW -> AW 12 yds

AW -> 54 15 yds

54 -> 58 15 yds

I use the Sub 70 659 CB PW and AW and the 286 54 and 58. Also very happy with their performance! The only thing I’m a little bummed about is I saw that the 659’s didn’t test well in the 2023 mygolfspy iron test! 

[GilB]

Aside from the PW, I game the Cleveland ZipCore 50*, 56*, and the 58*. I never liked the look of a 60* and lacked the confidence to hit it.

[DRLEONARD58]

I am currently sitting at 3 -- the PW and SW that came with the set and a 60* CBX. I am deep into the "replace my irons and wedges" bag overhaul which (as of right now) would move me to 4 wedges.

[OdinSnipes414]

Mine is a little different!

 

I play two 60s the Mack daddy has I midsize grip on it I like that around the greens! And I like the MG3 at a distance around 100 yards to 60 yards!

I play 3. 50, 54, 58 but am thinking of adding a 48. I have no use for a 3 wood and am thinking of taking it out of the bag.

I think it would be tough to gap a 48 to a 50? Let us know how it goes if you end up going for it

[Golf2Much]

For me the answer is four, but it depends! 

Until recently, my irons were G30's and I carried pitching wedge (45 degrees) with my three Edison wedges (50, 55 and 60 degrees). 

As a recent MGS Callaway Paradym X reviewer, I had to change my wedges to accommodate the inherent stronger lofts.  With the Paradym X pitching wedge at 41 degrees, I added their "A" approach wedge at 46 degrees.  That meant one club had to go out of my bag.  After some trial and error, I choose pulling the 60 degree wedge out and putting the 3 wood back in the bag.  So now, I still have four wedges (Paradym X PW and AW and Edison 50 and 56 degree wedges), just a different mix.

[Donn lost in San Diego]

3 normally at my main course.

 

1.  PW from the Ping I 500 set.

2.  Mizuno S5, about 7 yrs old now, 52 x 09 GFF.  I have a new one waiting for its turn.

3.  An ancient but trusty sand wedge, an original Hogan Sure Out, with a flange bigger than a small flounder.

I own 3 other Mizunos for use in other club lineups.  I use a chipper instead of a higher loft wedge for shots near the green.  I have practiced with Vokey and Cleveland, they can't push Mizuno out of first place.

[Greg birt]

my current set up is PW = 46, then i have wedges @ 50, 54 bent to 55 and 60.

[Mick Odubhlain]

PW 43* Titliest T200

GW 50*; SW 54*; LW 58* all Cleveland RTX Zipcore ( best wedges out there imho). 
Depending on the course I’m playing, will add in Vokey 60* 
 

[fozcycle]

My Titleist T300 irons come with a 43* PW and a 48* GW.  I followed this up with Edison 53* and 57*.

Yardages:

PW 104 - 110

GW 90 - 98

53* 75 - 80

57* 60-67

[smjPenn91]

My setup is pretty simple: 50 deg Cleveland CBX Zipcore bent to 49, 54.08 Vokey SM4, Cleveland RTX Zipcore 58 all with Project X shafts.  Everything with DG shafts including the wedge shafts from Vokey feel heavy and dead to me so I immediately swap the shaft on any purchase.
