2 seasons ago I felt like all my wedges were flying to high and not spinning . I dropped all my lofts down 2 degrees (50,54,58) and have seen a big improvement in launch and spin.
I've just changed a 60 for a 56 and I'm chipping so much better, mainly because I'm not blading as many chips through the green
Love my 60. Would never take it out of my bag!
i have a 50 and a 56 and i find the 56 covers pretty much all the short game i need. its great for chipping and bunkers. the 50 is the perfect gap wedge for me
The first wedge I bought was a 52 gap , then got a 56 SW then a 60 lob. When I bought my new irons the pitching wedge is 44 so have a 8 deg gap, would it be worth getting a 48 or a 50
🎉..love the wedge game Matt…
Great video Matt, always helpfully
Very educational. Thanks.
I hit my pitching wedge about 100 yards…..so don’t really need a gap wedge….
Great vid Matt, very informative and turns out I'm using my wedges correctly completely by chance 😂
I'm currently gaming a PW [44deg], GW [50deg] and SW [56deg]. The latter is rarely used outside of a bunker and my GW is kept for close in work only. Pretty happy with my set up.
I have been waiting for this one, I have a 54 and a 58. Have been curious what else I might need, the 54 was Sandwedge that came with the set and the 58 was one I already had. I believe the PW I have with the set is 44 so I feel there is a large gap to make up.
I took my 60 out of my bag since I really didn't feel comfortable with it and I can do pretty much everything I need with my 56. there aren't a whole lot of places I can think that I would rather the 60 outside of maybe short sided and having to cover a trap, so it needs to get up and down and stop.
In my bag, I have a pitching wedge, a sand wedge and sandwich.
Ping G430 PW is 41° ☠️
it was suggested that since I was fitted for cavity backed irons, I should use the same in my wedges instead of forged. I have the Cleveland CBX2 54* and 58* in graphite.
My set came with a 50 degree gw, and I have the jaws raw in 54 & 58 degrees. I swap my 56 degree vokey in place of the 54/58 in the summer because it’s low bounce and the fairways are hard pan where I play.
48, 54, 60
The average pitching wedge carry is 134yds?
love love love this content…. thanks so much Matt….. seems i'm always looking at wedges… specs… comparisons…. you are awesome…
what about shafts…flex, length??
I don't fully understand the concept of low and high bounce. How do you know if the wedge is high or low bounce?
My iron set came with a 44° pitching wedge, from there I went 49° to 54° then a 60° wedge. I have a 56° wedge that I swap in place of the 54° and 60° wedges on occasion, but I always miss having the 60° for bunker and flop shots.
Not all high handicappers are the same now Matt 😉 I'm solid within 120, and even moreso within 60 where I'll generally have my 60° in hand. I got fitted for 60/10, 55(bent from 56)/08, & 50/08.
Lots of evenings after work during summer around the practice green, and time at the range dialling in distances at the short targets. It really pays off on the course 👍🏼
Hopefully the work I've done on the long game over winter pays off too…
What bounce would you recommend on wedges i know you seid higher but what exactly
Great video. Thanks Mat. 👍😎🇦🇺
Am I weird in that I hit full 58 and 54 shots a lot? They're actually the most accurate shots I hit. I'm 100 yards out, 58 comes out most of the time.
Matt, stage 1 – know your clubs. The example Ping G430 PW isn't 45 and doesn't even fall within the typical limits that were quoted of 46 – 42. Since it is 41 degrees, there is an extra club that is 45.5. Does this mean that you still use the "W" as the PW, or accept "club inflation" and adopt the "45" as the PW in your game and play the "W" as a 9 club?
Matt I have stock Jpx 923 pro irons 5-sw. As you well know they’re strong lofted. The PW is 42.5 GW is 48 and SW is 54. Should I be concerned about the huge difference between these wedges or did Mizuno take that into account when they made them. Or maybe just be concerned about the yardage difference between them. I’ve never used a wedge any higher than the 54. Thanks
Good info Matt. Thanks
Great video as always Matt! After a long time away from the game, I'm looking at building a set (probably custom fit). The three lofts I had noted are 46/52/58. Do you think this would be OK for a beginner, or something slightly different?
@matt fryer golf
I have a PW (45), AW (49) (PW and AW came in a set), added GW (51), SW (54) and LW (58). which would you suggest i get rid of?
