Which Golfshaker Carries the Most Wedges?

Posted by: user88724 | Sun 11th May 2014 13:18 | Last Reply

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

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.
