Using a 46, 52, 58, 64 wedge setup – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

In our forums, our members have been discussing wedge setup strategy. WRXer ‘HyperGolf’ has been experimenting with a 46, 52, 58, 64 degree wedge setup that has been working very well recently, and kicks off the thread, saying:

“I started experimenting with this wedge setup and found that it is working quite well for me. I only use 58 and 64 for partial swing or out of the bunker.

I initially thought 6 degrees would be too much gapping in the wedges but found they covered a wider range of distance, both long and short, compared to my older setup of 46, 50, 54, 58.

Just curious if anyone else is using the 46, 52, 58, 64 or similar wider gapping in wedges and having good performance around the green.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the strategy in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • JMB3: “I have in the past and liked it a lot. I tend to prefer 6* gaps because they generally provide a 15-yard gap for me, and I can manipulate ball position or backswing to hit the in-between numbers.”
  • rkillian: “I’ve thought about looking for a 64 to add to the bag for fun (and probably to my detriment) since I have room. I thought it might be at least interesting to practice with even if it doesn’t get much use.”
  • benclab: “I’ve tried it before. Worthless for me. I can do everything with a 58 that I can with a 64.”
  • llewol007: “I do. Biggest reason for me falls on the courses that I play often having really small greens. I need more options wedges rather than opening up wedges which for me doesn’t work with the high bounces.”

    Wedge manufacturers need to make wedges with odd number degrees, 49, 51, 53, 55, etc. This will allow players to gap with 5 degree differences.
