Which Golfshaker Carries the Most Wedges?
As a firm believer in the principle that a good player will play as well with 6 clubs as 14 I confess my ineptitude by now carrying 4 wedges - 48d, 50d, 54d, and 64d. (12 club bag). I can only partly justify this by my laziness in not trying to make a 50d wedge do the 1,001 shot variations which it is easily capable of doing for a more skilled player. And by declaring that I play on a short course with no par 5s. Having said that, a full 10 yards distance divides my 48d and 50d implements and it is hard not to be seduced by Cleveland who offer 46 -64d's. (with 2d increments) and the choice of three bounces for each (588RTX). Can you imagine having 30 different same model wedges at home and tailoring your choice to the course / ground conditions where you were playing? I can think of one very low handicap Golfshaker who might be able to afford such. But me - well I feel extremely guilty in buying four and living on bread / jam. And, before anyone asks - I have nothing to do with Cleveland and paid full dollar for my wedges. Come on....I'm confident that someone out there regularly carries 5, 6 or even seven wedges. Confess.

I carry 4 wedges also, sacrificing a 4i as I have 18d and 21d hybrids then 5i. I much prefer this with greater versatility with my short game. Standard 47d i25 PW, 52d, 56d and 60d ping gorge wedges

PW, 50, 56 & 60 I20 PW, and the rest Cleveland 588's

g15 pw, gap wedge (think its 52) and SW and a 60d LW.
Question: why do ping use the letter U on the gap wedge?

4 wedges, 48pw,52gw,58sw,60lw
The "U" on a Ping wedge stands for Utility usually only found when sold in a set of irons, apparently

I'm 4 too most of the time with TaylorMade Burner 2.0 PW at 45, then TaylorMade ATV wedges at 50 and 60 and the Burner SW at 55. I think 5 degree gaping is fairly unusual, the line up may change if I change irons. I have however carried 5 wedges when playing a short-ish course. The 5th wedge? A left handed pitching wedge!

Four for me too. 45º, 50º and 55º TM R11 and a 60º Vokey SM Lob Wedge.

I carry 4. 60, sand, 52 and pitch. The 60 takes a bit of getting used to but the rewards are great on fast greens.
