Wedges and distance problems...what should I get?
Here are my clubs, their lofts, and distances.
Pitching Wedge - 46 deg i think - 110-130 is my comfortable swing
sand wedge - 56 deg - 85 and lower - but I HATE using it for 60-90yds ABSOLUTELY HATE IT! might as well call it the skull masher for those shots...
Escape wedge - 64 deg - 35yds and under getting over trees, flop shots, over bunkers, trying to stick it to the green
I am a short game oriented golfer and I would almost say that I wouldn't mind at all to carry 4 wedges in my bag(is that crazy?).
This is what I'm thinking....
I want some sort of gap wedge 50 deg that I can be go to club for 100 yard shots, I'll use my pitching wegde and choke up or take off some on my swing but I usually mishit or hit it too far and my sand wedge, if I hit it perfectly, will go 100 maybe 3 out of 10 times. So gap wedge definitely.
Should I keep my other 3 wedges as they are? I was possibly switching to a 58 deg sand wedge too
Dear Travis,
Knowing you rely on your short game there are several options for you to consider to configure your playing set. You must have all your wedges measured by a qualified club maker to determine the exact lofts and BOUNCE angles. Wedges being used from tough lies take a beating. A forged carbon steel wedge can bend at the hosel causing a lowering in the loft. You can "eye ball" the club by looking along the shaft length from the butt end. You also want to know the offset amount on your wedges. You did not mention whether the wedges were from one manufacturer but most top brands publish the loft, lie, offset and bounce angle as a matter of course.
The P/W is usually part of the iron set you have so I assume the other three wedges are different in brand, head composition and manufacturing process.
The reason you are "skull mashing" your S/W is the bounce angle is too high for fairway play especially the tighter the lie of the ball the more difficult to make crisp contact. A test is that when you hit your S/W from hard pan you play the ball much further back in your stance and are forced to hit down more just to keep from striking the ball in the belly or worse.
I gap wedge at 52 degrees is a good idea to try but please allow me to suggest the following as you are a serious player evidenced by your determined focus on the most important aspect of good golf, the short game. The most important wedge is your sand wedge so let's concentrate on this club. Try a forged carbon steel S/W without any plating. 56 degrees of loft, 8 degrees or less of bounce angle with a design which has material ground from the heel so you can open the face without increasing the bounce angle. For an at home test put a ball on a hardwood or linoleum surface and take your normal stance. If you can fit two or more quarters under the leading edge the bounce angle it too high. Now, open the face as if hitting a flop shot and test the quarter measurement again. If three quarters fit under the leading edge the design is not for you. Next, put a straight edge on the leading edge. The curvature from heel to the toe is called the camber of the sole. Pros have very straight leading edges because they are so proficient at striking the ball. The bad news is that if you hit a "fat" shot you are going to lay the turf over the ball! Minimal offset is also a specification the best players seek.
The third wedge to consider is a lob wedge of 60 degrees with 6 degrees of bounce or less with consideration for the other specs to reflect the specs on your S/W.
Forget the 64 degree wedge. Its use is limited to get out of jail shots and if you spec out your L/W correctly you can open the face and hit the same shot with the 60 degree. Be sure to install wedge flex or stiff shafts in your wedges and try to practice the distance of your back swing instead of choking up. You still must accelerate through the ball but I assume you know this. I also suggest all three wedges are the same length.
Distance control and confidence are the focus when choosing a wedge. I hope you have a shag bag and a place where you can hit shots less than 100 yards with a variety of lofts. Don't practice off artificial mats to get real feel results. Good luck and keep up the challenge of putting together a set perfect for your game.
