Wedge advice

[Neilds]

Post no. 2 seems pretty clear to me.
Sell the 56 and 60 and get a 50 and 58 and practice
44 for low shots, 50 for medium and 58 for high.

Agree with that, but the rest of the posts are probably just going to add confusion with loads of contradictions

In that case maybe he shouldn't have asked "How many wedges do you all carry?" But he did.

I swear you must have taken this picture about 6 years ago because I think I've seen it at least 5 times. ?

My 4 handicap mate joined us yesterday

His wedge system was similar

Never played the course .. hit 2 over for front and 3 over for the back 9

His short game was impeccable

Turns out 6 years ago was a good estimate.

Here's them all.
I know there's 15 but I swap the 18 deg hybrid with the 2 iron, depending on where I'm playing.

All this ‘advice’ must have made it crystal clear for the OP ????

There is a lot to take in but I’m very grateful

But I am edging towards this. Makes sense to me and takes out the confusion of having too many options. Will be able to give the 44, 50/52 and 58 a full swing from their distances and inside that, as they say, use the lofts for low, med and high shots

Don't you know a new driver would add 30 yards to your drives?

What's that thing with a '1' written on it?

I could post my bag but can't find an up to date pic

Contrasting ages with things

But 100% even with handicap for me you would wipe the floor with me lol

Wish I could chip

Then he would need a 3rd wedge and where would he be then?!?!?!

 

[bobmac]

It's easy.
Weight forward
Narrow stance
Down the grip
High take away, low follow through.
Hit the ball under the shaft with a wee divot

I think it depends where you play.
Flat course prob 2.
Very hilly slopes the more the better.
The op needs to do a list and priorities will be the type of shots required.
Most PW now are just 9 irons so three is enough.

 

[slowhand]

What do you hit from the rough or first cut to hit 180 or above a 5 iron?

I can see a big gap.

7W

7W

Pat Perez was talking about his 7W on YouTube he reckons it’s the best club in his bag.
Was thinking of getting one as I don’t like hybrids.

Not sure i'd be happy hitting something with such a flat AOA and small face in a bad lie. But each to there own.

I really like mine, you can get plenty of height on it, and a little bit more forgiving than a hybrid if you fat it I think.
