In our forums, our members have been discussing the merit of carrying two wedges of the same loft. WRXer ‘The Full Monte’ is considering the strategy to account for a variety of turf conditions and kicks off the thread saying
“So I’ve played a higher variety of courses this year and noticed a new trend. My current setup is a 48, 54 and 60. I’ve noticed that my typical 60 degree flop shot on courses where there’s a significant increase in long rough….has a tendency to be really bad.
From short rough to fairway…it’s pretty money….but when it gets long….I’ve had way too many just awful shots. So I’m toying with the idea of carrying (2) 60 degree wedges with different soles to account for the variety of grass lengths and what I play easily out of each.”

- Mudguard: “Probably a waste of a club. Better having a 56* with more or less bounce than your 60*.”
- DeCuchi: “If you have room for 2 60’s, why not go 48/52/56/60? Vary the soles of the 56 and 60 to your liking. For me, I’d just find the sole that works in both situations or work on my technique.”
- Twinsgroupie: “Personally I would focus on hitting different types of shots with the wedges you have. Get your wedge game on point, and lots of problems will be solved.”
- mootrail: “Another wedge may be the right answer but in replacement of your old 60°. High toe wedges are flop machines from the rough. You’ll be amazed how often that extra toe real estate can save you from the deep stuff.”
