I just have a 56 60 pw gap wedge and that's it for my wedges
I have a 52 degree gap, 56 degree sand and 60 degree lob. I never realized the 60 has such a small sweet spot. I use it mainly for very short shots over bunkers or mounds when I’m short sided. I’m talking ten yards or so. The 56 would probably work if I opened it and hit a flop shot. I’m comfortable doing that in fluffy lies. If I retired the 60 what club could I put in my bag? I have a 5 wood and 4 hybrid. Longest iron is a 5.
Hey Mike, love your videos, I’m gonna list all my wedges and tell me if I need all of them lol
44 pw, 49 gw 54,58, 62 vokey wedges
I think I have too many but can’t decide what I can do without, I’m pretty versatile with all depending on my shot, thanks
I've been noodling this issue for the last couple of months. I've found I can retire my 60 because I'm confident (and more consistent) opening my 56 a bit. I'm down to PW 46 Gap 50 SW 56 and it seems to work. If you start paying attention to how often you miss- hit a 60 (most average players) I think a lot of folks could use a hybrid or 5 wood in their bag than what I call the lob bogey maker! 🙂
Finally! Someone talks the truth about wedges.
I actually got rid of a lot of clubs in my bag. I was watching YouTube and one of the golfers said to figure out your game with the clubs you are confident in. Since I’ve done that I have gotten rid of my 3i, 4i, 3 wood, and hybrid. I only have a PW and SW. since I’ve reduced amount of clubs in my bag I went from 105 consistently to low nineties and even shorting below 90 for the first time. Having confidence in your clubs, knowing what they are going to do, and keeping the ball in play is the key to my progression.
My pitching wedge is a 45° and the A wedge is a 50. I love my 50. I don’t like the 56 that I have. Thoughts on getting my 56 bent to a 54?
Sorry Mike, but a pw was 52 against 56sw in the old days.
