What wedge lofts do you play?

[Mike79]

Currently got Vokey SM wedges - 52/56/60 from back in 2006… looking at replacing with some fresh ones

My T200 irons are 43 PW and 48 GW

Thinking of dropping down to 2 Vokey rather than the 3 but trying to work out how best to do it…

52/58

54/58

54/60

2006 wedges, wow!

I have my PW, 50, 54, 58.

If dropping one, I would probably go for 52 and 58.

 

[SammmeBee]

Thinking the same but still keeping 3….

Currently….48/52/56 but thinking going

50
54
58

No idea with PW loft is!

Depends on how you play your bunker shots?

All those pairings wouldn’t traditionally have a lot of bounce, that’s not an issue though, dependent on how you execute a bunker shot.

PW - usually somewhere between 50 and 52 degrees.
SW - usually 56 degrees.

The 58 comes with either D (12deg bounce) or K (14deg) grinds

That’s where I’m thinking - 52/58

I know re 2006… still in decent shape but I’m sure the grooves are a bit worn

2008 Pings 46 and 52 with a 1990s Ram 64.

From my vintage sets, I really like the 8,9,10 irons from a 1961 Forgan set 2-10. These are 44, 49, 54.
I have an Edinburgh Golf sand iron that I add to these. So, that makes me very similar to @JamesR. Fifty years of progress?

If I had a 43 and 48, then I might add a 56 and 64.
That 64 might blow your mind, so I suggest 54 and 60 for you.

It’s difficult to advise when not knowing how you prefer to play your wedges and on what courses.

If you chose either of those for your preferred bunker shots, which are both ideal due to a strong bounce, then you leave yourself without a wedge for a flop shot off a bare lie!

If the stronger wedge has less bounce, then some will mistakenly say to ‘open the face’, but that will inadvertently increase the bounce and a knife shot could be the result!!

As I said earlier, it’s very difficult to advise on wedge selection as everyone plays their wedges differently, and many never take into consideration the bounce of each one in their selection.

It’s very much a personal relationship based on confidence.

PW, U, 54, 58 (of the 54 and 58, the 54 has the higher bounce for most bunker shots).

58 less bounce I use when I short side myself typically needing to clear a bunker and lie is tight often to to heavy foot and trolley traffic or if playing to an elevated green with not much green to play with, when a lower loft tends to land too shallow and run too much. It worked magic yesterday.

56 and 58 come with S and M grinds too….

 

[PJ87]

I moved to a 3 wedge set up a year ago and much prefer it ATM

I used to play pitch at 43. 50 gap. 54 sand 58 lob

I replaced the 50 54 and 58 with a new 50 and a 56

I find it works better for me

 

[Boomy]

PW TM P790 45*
Gap TM MG2 50*
Gap TM MG2 54*
Sand TM MG2 58*

PW 45
GW 54
SW 58

Have thought about a 50 but i'll have to drop either my hybrid or my 2i

Just checked my current wedges… 52.08, 56.10, 60.08

At a Titleist fitting in a couple of weeks so will have a play and see what advice give

Standard loft on a Nike Pro Combo PW is 47.

 

[Oddsocks]

Stock PW is 46 with then 52/58 combo in wedges, I’ve played these lofts since 2010. I’ve noticed my current track has quite compact sand in the winter and my consistency with the 58* has dropped so I’ve plopped a 56* in just for bunkers but that will come out.

 

[Tashyboy]

Pw, 48,52,56.

Had that since I set up years ago and happy with that.

 

[Voyager EMH]

PW - usually somewhere between 50 and 52 degrees.
SW - usually 56 degrees.

Last time I played with my Forgan set, I got to see these in action. This IS a photo of the actual ones used.
