Found this channel looking for what were considered to be the best wedges this season and clicked on your video and did not disappoint. Awesome video well informative no matter ones handicap there is something for every level in this video. Definitely sub and a like!

Lovely clear explanation there. Thanks Mr F

Excellent , intelligent explanations of usage of clubs, degrees, bounces, situations for us ( the talking majority 😂 ). And subtile marketing by Mizuno. Great job.

@iiredeyeiiredeye1569 10 месяцев назад

I've done something similar. After getting rid of my 3 iron because I play a 5 wood. I had a space in my bag. After working out my average distance with my PW I then decided which loft I am most comfortable with as a lob wedge...which was 56. I then found out my average distance with the 56. Then I spaced my next two wedges up from the 56 to the PW. I've ended up with 56,52,48, and PW. My average yardages are something like 95,105,120,and 135. Which I'm happy with, and my short game around the greens is actually really good for my level and I'm regularly complimented on it. Feeling really happy with this side of my game recently since the changes.

That’s the best way to go. Nobody really needs a 58-60 wedge..I gave mine away as I hardly used it and use my 54 to get over bunkers and short game

@JessieGeorge-jz1zy Год назад

I have a 64 deg.wedge in my bag for those deep bunkers at the edge of the green. Rarely used, I had a 20 yd. shot from a deep bunker to a close pin on a negative slope. The 64 deg. wedge hit full lofted the ball high into the air and spun back to within a club length of the pin. I adjust the club set for the different courses I play from hilly and short to flat and long. I'm 83 yrs. and not very strong, so technique is most important. I can't wait for golf season.

@mikeanderson3735 6 месяцев назад

This is the one thing I've learned. I was bad player who became a really good player. The difference was just getting better at golf. What degree wedge you use isn't going to make a damn difference. Play what's comfortable to you and this will be your best option. I play a 58, 54, 50. I did play a 60,56,52 and there isn't a damn difference. If you are good, you are going to make it work. If you struggle playing, you are going to struggle with any wedge in your game. Work on your game and screw the equipment. Now if you are a pro, these small changes can make a difference because the top players in the world are all so good and every little does help. For the average guy, just play what you have an work on your game. The better your game gets, then make a club/iron change. I watch these videos and they make it seem like clubs make the difference and they really don't. They did mention something very important. The strength of clubs is getting stronger and stronger. If you play a PW that's 41 degrees then get another PW that's 45. Carry two PW. I would also carry an extra wedge in your bag and not worry about what the rules say. I see to many guys worry about the rules on how many clubs they have but then use a foot wedge every time they get a chance. LMAO. I wish I was making this up.

@robertrenekerjr6819 Год назад

For years only had a PW and a SW and did well with that for the most part. Recently did put a GW and a LW in my bag. Still trying to figure out the yardage on the GW but getting closer. And yes, with a LW you have to be committed. Learning just how hard and fast I need to swing with it to get it to do what I want. Takes some practice and that is something a lot of golfers don't do enough.

@lifesaver3499 Год назад

just use your pw and sw..choke down and open up the face of your sw and you have an easier to use LW.

@Raj-zc5hh Год назад

That LW can be a pain friend, all the best. I’m planning to give it up.

@edwarddelavilla3475 8 месяцев назад

All you need to be the best 130yards and in is a sandwedge pitching wedge and gap… 54-55/50-51/44-45 DO NOT get a 60 wedge. And sandwedge can do what it can and a lot more.

My iron set came with a 44° pitching wedge, from there I went 49° to 54° then a 60° wedge. I have a 56° wedge that I swap in place of the 54° and 60° wedges on occasion, but I always miss having the 60° for bunker and flop shots.

Very good video again. I've ditched my 60 for an xtra GW. I've got a PW @43, GW @48, GW2 @ 52 and SW @56. Found I only used the 69 cause it was there. I wasn't confident, and preferred my SW for high shots, so the xtra GW helps me with the pitching distances.

@sq8279 Год назад

Extra gap wedge? Looking at those lofts you’re carrying a 9 iron and calling to a pitching wedge. What’s the loft of your 9 iron? Your “first” gap wedge is a pitching wedge.

43 pw...lol..taylormade should sell you a 21* pw so you can really outhit your buddies, but this way they made you buy two extra wedges..young guy on the range brags he can hit his 5i as far as my 3i but they are the same loft and length..i say let me know when you can outdrive me.

@mrpriceisright Год назад

I do use the lob wedge (mine is 58) for full shots of about 70-80 yds. I feel more comfortable with that full shot (making a smooth comfortable full swing) than trying to hit a 3/4 SW. I use the SW (54) for most shots from green side to 60 yds. Also tend to open up the SW around the green rather than use the LW mostly. GW for the up hill or longer running chips.

@robertcoleman6153 Год назад

Agree, dropped my 60 & 58 for a 56. They were costing me more shots than they gained me. I'm quite capable of cutting up the 56, so this is as much loft as I require in my bag. Also allows me to carry a 25 hybrid, which I use to give me a higher flighted shot than a 6 iron and same distance. Also use it for chip & run shots.

@m.taylor7025 Год назад

Isn't a 60 and 58 a really tight gap? Most folks do 50, 54, 58 or 52, 56, and 60...but not two lob wedges...

@lifesaver3499 Год назад

smart guy..i will let you know when i see more than 5-7% of golfers who can use a LW!...ps...i learned that i was more accurate hitting a 5i off the tee (2 holes in one) than hitting a hybrid off the tee so I use the hybrid from the fairway only unless the flag is right at the front of the green with water or a bunker right in front...having no LW in the bag allows me to carry both the 5i and the hybrid!

@bsmith4u2 10 месяцев назад

The new PW in my bag is only 42.5°. GW is 48°. I play a 54°/58° and am happy with the gapping. 58° LW for me is not hard to commit. Can hit 1/2, 3/4, full or open. I use the 58° mostly to fly green side bunkers and tight flags. I do practice these shots quite often, that's the key.

@roberthallisy5183 9 месяцев назад

I have the exact same in my bag. I like it.

@mikewohala6035 9 месяцев назад

I use the same, I play 14 bounce on the 54. My sand game is on point…. I rarely use the 14 bounce from the fairway though, it’s exclusively for sand

@GlasVelo Год назад

Great video as always Matt! After a long time away from the game, I'm looking at building a set (probably custom fit). The three lofts I had noted are 46/52/58. Do you think this would be OK for a beginner, or something slightly different?

@bagstv2755 Год назад

find out your PW loft and work from there. 4-6 degrees of seperation usually

@bencole9565 Год назад

6 degrees is a big gap. Maybe bend 58 to 57. What's your lowest iron set wedge degree? I do 4...rarely 5 degree to next wedge

@danielcohen3159 Год назад

I have 6 degree gaps and it's always worked well for me. I think for full shots that swing speed and delivery will dictate some of it. I don't have a ton of speed, so 6-degree gaps work out perfect for me, with the recommended 12-15 yard gap. But someone with more speed would likely have too big of a distance gap at 6 degrees, particularly between PW and the next wedge, and would need closer to a 4-degree gap. But a good fitting will quickly show you what you need and what the gapping is.

@gr4303 Год назад

Never ever thought about wedge gapping to be honest. Got fitted for the first time last year. Started playing late as always played football. Stopped that early 30s took up golf through work colleagues and loved it. Took 13 years to have a fitting and I used to change everything often. Now I'm settled with my Driver Ping G410, irons Ping G425. 5 wood is Cobra Speedzone not happy with and M4 hybrid which I hit very well. Putter is Cleveland Huntington which I bought for price really and my wife bought me Hi Toe wedges which still getting used to. I have gap Wedge, 54 and 58 but honestly not sure if that gapping is right. Now I have saw this it will be what I work on, on the trackman in coming days to see if it's right. This video is massively helpful to me as a mid handicap who is desperate to be better. Might have some relatively new Hi Toe wedges for sale, anyone 😊

@sakanatsuri Год назад

I think that the Bounce is a friend. What kind of bounce would you recommnend for 10 handicapper? 12 or 14 or else? Thanks.

@fraserthomson349 Год назад

I'm a very average golfer - (15 handicap) but chipping/pitching is my strongest part of my game by far and saves me lots of shots and minimises putts. I can't recommend enough dropping from 60 to 58 as the difference in accuracy is off the charts and once you get confident with it you can open it so it plays as a 60 when required. As you said practice is key for wedges, if everyone spent as much time on practicing wedges as they did bombing drives at the range I guarantee they would drop their handicap by 3-4.

@paulh7589 Год назад

If you and I were somehow made into one person, we would be on tour. My long game and putting are quite good, but my short irons are awful. I would much rather be 150 out than 30 out. I've adjusted my game accordingly. That's why I hate playing scrambles. I hope your next round is a good one, friend.

@rdj3video Год назад

And would realize they could get along with 2 maybe 3 wedges instead of 4. I don’t even bother with the 50 anymore. 46-54-60…46 with 9 bounce is like a Q-tip. Variety of uses. The 60 is reserved for the bunker and the one time I need to pop that ball up and back down from short range. Very rare to take a full swing 60 unless I’m on a range mat. 54 with a 12 bounce does everything else. Keep in mind I’m into minimalism which means a 10 club bag. Less bad decisions can be made.

@TMar1961 Год назад

I'm a 13.4 index SR golfer and I'm very much a full swing guy. The 46, 50, 54, and 58 wedges are all in the bag and have about a 10yd difference with full swings. The 58 goes 70-75yds and is easily the yardage I shoot for the most when laying up, it's the most accurate and consistent for me.

Of the four, I use the 50 the most for 80-90 yard full shots and around the green when I want to run the ball up to the hole. I'd rather change the club than my swing.

Granted it’s just for maybe 40 yards in I use it, 60 on rare occasions but for the delicate 10-20-30 yard drop and stop it breeds confidence for me, I been using more of the upright and toe down method with It and it’s simplified a lot of work around the greens, horses for courses I guess, ( or just hit more greens in reg 🤔 ) but I love the club. I think any club works if it makes you feel confident over it. How long it lasts who knows, it’s golf after all 😂 13 handicap

I have a yardage gap but I have learned to deal with it without buying any equipment. My full sand wedge is 105, my full pitching wedge is 135. That's a big gap, but it's really not a problem. I don't play like a machine, I play by intuition. Maybe that's why I'm very streaky. I could go out tomorrow and shoot 2-under or shoot 12-over. When I really want to play my best I drink 6 beers before I even tee-off, then maintain it with a beer every couple holes. If you don't drink, you don't drink- but you should try it!

@pbode1 3 месяца назад

Nice. I think I am developing a bit of wedge fetish. Started when I got fitted into graphite i525 irons, not testing the PW. When the clubs came in, I had an instant gap +12 yards to my 52 gap wedge, because these hollow heads fire the ball very hot off the face, and I do strike my PW relatively pure as well. I'm now in a Mizuno S23 range of 47 degrees (Gap, almost a second PW, after a 50 degree didn't close the gap properly) and jack-of-all-trades 54 with high-ish bounce and D grind, and a 58 X grind which is my go to club for greenside bunker and occasional lob/buried lie shot. My swing is very shallow by nature so I dared to take a gamble with that aggressive grind without getting fitted, and it works very well for me. My old Callaway MD3 had a bounce of 12 degrees, practically no sole relief, and made my bunker shots highly unpredictable. For chip and run I am using a Cleveland Smart Sole Chipper highly effectively, especially from muddy lies. It's partly a compromise because I only 'discovered' the use of that shot recently after 25 years (...), so when I started practicing I only had my new irons to and if I use my new hollow irons for it, I risk running it over the green. Short game is an addictive puzzle.

@melabshier5812 Год назад

Matt, you and the Mizuno lad talked a lot about bounce. yet, when you tested the wedges, what bounce you used wasn't mentioned. Can you let us know. Also, should one use a difference bounce if you play wet courses. Or very soft/soggy around the greens courses?

@@sandersson2813 but I use it for going over stuff, or when I’m about 60 meters out. Works perfect. Don’t use it super tight around the green, will usually just bump and run an 8 iron or something in that circumstance. I’ve found though, as I’m not a massive hitter, I often find myself about 60 meters out from the green, and the 60 is perfect for that. It’s easily one of my most consistent clubs. One of the clubs I practice with the most too. Bad back and never going to drive far, so really working on short game, and it’s definitely lowered my score over the last month or two, from 120’s to low 100’s / high 90’s.

@@JohnUssher-jk2qo Still think it's too much loft for just 60 metres. You are adding extra distance and introducing error by using so much loft because it has to go higher and come down. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line you are increasing that massively by using so much loft. You'd probably get better results playing the same shit with a 50 or 52. Not trying to tell you what to do, just making a suggestion as a + handicap golfer

What bounce would you recommend on wedges i know you seid higher but what exactly

@JR-hy2mq 9 месяцев назад

I have a 43 degree PW, 48 AW, 52 GW, 56 SW, 60 LW. I use my 52 around the green and for full shots, 56 and 60 full shots according to the needed distance. I 95% of the time with the 52, 56, or 60 full shot sailor high lands and sticks on the green. I feel confident giving a strong swing from close with my wedges. Most people think I am going to over hit the green when I swing that hard that close but I can drop my ball on the green 9/10 times.

@bluetoughguy Год назад

I took my 60 out of my bag since I really didn't feel comfortable with it and I can do pretty much everything I need with my 56. there aren't a whole lot of places I can think that I would rather the 60 outside of maybe short sided and having to cover a trap, so it needs to get up and down and stop.

@SteelTiiTan Год назад

Bought irons last summer and was the first time I've had stronger lofts with a PW at 44 degrees, so I tried to go 48, 52, 56 above that; but as a serial shortside approach misser and someone who plays tons of open face shots around the greens I was finding it tough to have a 56 as my highest loft. Ended up keeping the 48, getting a 54, and then will be picking up a 58 or 60 to be more comfortable around the greens

@bagstv2755 Год назад

My sand wedge is old school, so not made for bounce. It will more likely dig in to the ground, just like it was made to dig into the sand. Might buy a more current 56 for normal grass shots....with a wider bounce area.

I've had a 60 for years and I've yet to figure out how to use it around the green. Matt is right, you really have to put some umpf behind it and commit to your shots in order for it to work properly even if it's just a short little chip or pitch. Just got a Ping 3.0 glide 56, I can't wait to try out on the course.

Hey Matt, You're suggesting that hitting a 3/4 SW into a green from 80 yds out is better than a full LW. Why? Wouldn't the LW hit and stick better than the SW?

@sandersson2813 Год назад

I definitely agree. Full shots with more lofted clubs have far less control and are notoriously inaccurate. I'd never use my most lofted club at full swing. Purely for bunkers and flop shots or if I need to get over a high tree. Think about the additional up and down distance you have playing a more lofted shot. A lower loft at 3/4 swing has less ground to cover so you're going to knock it closer.

So you need more wedges than a tour professional? I'm sorry but this sounds utterly ridiculous. I'm not sure if there is a single person on the PGA tour who carries four wedges and a pitching wedge. I just don't understand why we believe that we are so precise that we need more specialty than professionals.

@zazhou Год назад

This set of wedges is spot on and ideal for golfers who are not able to reach most par 4 holes with their second shot. They generally are left a third shot into the green of less than eighty yards and their yardages are for full wedge shots, except for forty yards and less. As this is for the majority of par 4's and also for their fourth shots on par fives, it makes complete sense to have 44, 48, 52, 56 and 60 degree wedges. Also full shots are more consistent for distance control than three quarter and half shots.

@kdub3288 Год назад

Just got a 54 and 58 but also already had a 52. Hear me out. 60 is a bit too much loft for me for greenside bunkers. But I can now use my 58 for short bunkers or high lobs and at same time I can even use the 54 as a sand wedge if I don’t want as high of an out. Then my 52 covers the gap from my P wedge to short shots. I prefer using a 52 from 110 all the way down to 50 yards cause I have great distance control with it. Then I’ll use my 54 for anything 70 and shorter unless I need a higher shot then 58 it is.
