How many wedges do you carry?

[CrazyGolfNut]

I have a PW and GW from my iron set with are basicly 10 & 11 irons.  My true wedges are 52 & 56.

Have carried four wedges for a number of years. PW-46*, AW-50*, SW-54* & LW 58*. I prefer having more options nearer the hole and have found overall that carrying more wedges has helped my overall score.

[King Cobra]

I used to carry 5 wedges

PW -45* , AW -49* , 52* , 56* 60*

When I got my new Irons I now only carry 4 as it allows me to carry a 5 wood, 

PW - 46* , AW -50* , 54* mid bounce and 58* low bounce

PW & AW used pretty much for full shots the other 2 for everything else .

Historically carried the PW from the stock set, along with 52/56/60 - in high school, that's what our local pro recommended, and I had that setup for almost 20 years. Started tweaking lofts a bit (like 50/54/60), and also long clubs, and just this year changed it up - now that I have both a 3w and driving iron in the bag, the new wedge setup is:

46 (replaces the PW from my irons), 54, 58. Haven't found myself in any positions where I miss the extra wedge, and my handicap is now the lowest it's ever been. Only issue is the bigger gap between 9i and PW, but that's manageable.

I have a pitching wedge from my iron set which is a 46 degree, and then I have a 52 and 58 degree wedge separately from that.

For me the critical question is how strong your iron lofts are and what the loft of your pitching wedge or 9 iron is. On a T300 set with a 43 degree pitching, I would add three wedges on top of that to give me a 4-6 degree gap depending on preference.

I used to have a 52, 56 and 60 degree wedge set before that and I found that I never used the 56, other than for bunker shots, which I can play well enough with the 58 if it's a short bunker shot. It seemed a waste carrying an additional club for that and I saw more benefit in being able to add an extra hybrid at the top end of my bag.

I have been playing the same basic wedges for 20 years, 60, 54, gap and pitching. I will buy new clubs but I use the same mizuno wedges.

I may be a bit of an anomaly when it comes to wedges as I have PW, GW, 52/56/60.  However, the loft on my Aerojet set PW is 41.5° and GW is 47.5°, so without the GW or 52°, I’d have a huge gap in the bottom end of my bag. I also really like wedge play, so having multiple is quite fun for me.

I carry 4. 
a 48, 52, 56 and 60 degree lob wedge. Sometimes I find myself between the 52 and 56 and find that chocking down on the 52 isn’t consistently effective.

Stick with the wedges that you have the most confidence in....I'm a firm believer that I can do just about anything with my Vokey M Grind 60 from 85 yards in and around the green - Versatile grind that allows me to open, close, skip, lob and I have confidence in it....Playing the same course conditions in central TX pretty much everywhere allows same wedges...Don't over-complicate it :-).

Because of wet conditions and heavy bermuda rough this time of year in coastal South Carolina, will sometimes have to add a low bounce 60 for wet sand or deep rough to more bounce 57. As i age, sometimes choose between old school lofted 47 degree PW and 52 Gap W.

[Hix31]

I actually have 5. The set PW(46), the set AW (50), then a 50, 54, and 58.  The 2 50’s are for gapping issues.  I hit the set AW 12 yards further.  

[c265]

PW, 45 gap, 50, 54, 58…

[Woody83]

I carry 3 wedges, pithcing wedge, gap wedge and sand wedge.

[agesicki34]

I carry 3 - PW, GW, SW. I find that in many cases I can get away with hitting my PW in a variety of situations just based on ball position and swing speed. 

[Coco]

I have 48,50f,50mid,54,56,60

but I’m only carrying 48,56 in my bag 

48 is my weapon !!!

[PapaRolex]

In my bag, I carry my PW (48 degree) along with a 52/56/60 set of wedges. 

[Therealmattymoore]

1. pw 46
2. 50(bent to 51)
3. 56
4. 64(only for bunker shots or if I have to get it up fast, never a full one)

[CSRose1792]

Might just be the distance I hit the ball but I carry 5 wedges. 
 

PW (44deg), 48, 52, 56, 60. 
 

Definitely feel that it gaps my bag appropriately. 

[Ecfthegolfguy]

I carry at least four sometimes five

[Rygolf32]

I carry a PW/52/56/60. PW is the one from my i525 set and the 52/56/60 are Vokeys.
