Wedge set up with no lob wedge

[Sats]

I have always gone 50/56 and found it perfectly adequate. On the occasion I've stuck a lob wedge in as an experiment I've never really found the need to use it.

Thats the problem I have at the moment, I tend to use the 52º a lot and use the 58º for flops and green side bunkers.

You could compromise....
Get another 52 and 58 in a similar style and looks to what you have now and get them bent to 51 and 57.
Win win

Does that not have detrimental affect on the bounce?

It will reduce the bounce by a fraction but I would challenge anyone to tell the difference.

Im currently playing 45 PW, 52, 56 and the gap between my PW and 52 is too much, I would change to a 50 but then it'll throw my 56 out. I'm tempted to get an older PW with about 48 loft to bridge the gap until i replace my wedges.

50 sounds perfect

Or get a 50° wedge bent to 51°. 5° between each then. Mizuno or Ping can be bent easily, I understand.

I use 45, 50, 56. Id never even consider hitting the 56 with a full swing so the full shot yardage is meaningless. Similarly Its pretty rare I'd use a full shot with the 50, but it does happen

Basically 115 plus is iron set
110 - 75 is some kind of 50 degree pitch.
75 in is, unless exceptional circumstances, some kind of 56.

Im not even sure how far I could hit the 56? Maybe 90 at a push? No reason to find out...

Why not? (Just out of interest.)

Accuracy, I can control strike a lot better with a 3/4 50 than I can with a full 56.

That's quite interesting as I'm the opposite, a find a full shot the easiest to hit and use my 58 for full shots all the time, esp if I need it to stop quickly

I think it's a shot that everyone should have in their locker..you may not use it very often but there may come a time that you need to.
And you've not practiced it you've got little chance of pulling it off.

I tend to not hit full shots with my 58.
Find that the distance is less consistent that with my 54 that I hit about 90 yards.

Prob play it at least 2 or 3 times a round, esp if I've hit it too well off the tee and got closer than expected?

A full 58 goes about 30 yards for me ?

Your divot goes further..

At the moment the grounds so hard, you can't take a divot?
