In our forums, our members have been discussing wedge setup strategy. WRXer ‘Thrummyfox’ is wondering whether he should game both a 54 and 56-degree wedge, and kicks off the thread saying:
“My favourite club for 75-90 yards is my Glide 4 54-degree wedge. But I’m not keen from green side bunkers. I usually carry a 59-degree Ping Glide Pro Eye2 but have been struggling a bit of late with it from bunkers and around the green. My initial plan is to 52, 56 and 59 but seriously contemplating 54,56 and maybe nothing higher lofted.
My set PW is an S56 at 47-degrees. Thoughts WRXers?”
And our memebrs have been sharing their thoughts on the matter in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- rsballer10: “I would do whatever works for you, but if you can’t hit a lob wedge I would just not use one. Play with 13 clubs, or maybe add another club to the top of the bag perhaps? Lob wedges are tricky, because for some people they are very difficult to hit. I’ve learned to use LW more around the greens over the years, and have gotten used to the ball coming out high and soft. It’s easier to accelerate through the ball, knowing the ball isn’t going to jump on me.”

- Bye: “If you are clear what their jobs are, then it really doesn’t matter what the lofts are. Having a club for bunker shots and another for very short approaches, pitching and chipping is quite sensible IMO.”
