July 9 Grand Lake Golf Report
How Many Wedges Should I Carry? There are different wedge configurations to consider based on your game:
- Two Wedges
If you are good with manipulating yardages of your clubs, especially wedges, you can make all short game shots with just two wedges. This will allow you to carry a hybrid which can replace either a wood or an iron. You can spread out the lofts evenly by choosing a 48° Pitching Wedge and 56° sand wedge. Your 9-iron will be around 41°.
- Three Wedges
Three wedges are the most preferred configuration for most golfers. We would recommend uniform gaps between the wedges like a 46° Pitching Wedge, a 52° Gap Wedge, and a 58° Lob Wedge. Like we said, lob wedge can get you out of sand traps.
- Four Wedges
If you are a beginner or you have trouble controlling the yardage of your pitch shots or your pitches are far too short, you will benefit from the full set of wedges. Again, the aim is to spread the lofts uniformly. So we would suggest a 46° Pitching Wedge, a 50° Gap Wedge, a 54° Sand Wedge and a 58° Lob Wedge.
