Cleveland Wedges

  I just recently purchased the 52° and 64° Cleveland wedges. Love them by the way!

  When I was reading a few reviews, a couple of players mentioned that they own all 4 Cleveland wedges. (Very envious)

  If I purchased that standing golf bag that is visible when you're at the Tee.

  Will I be able to carry more clubs?

  I would love to purchase the other two, because… I'm starting to find myself more often than not it distances that are right in between 105-60 yards.

  The two wedges I recently purchased cover these distances nicely, but… Having the ability to be a sniper for the distances in between would be icing on the cake.

  If I bought those two other wedges, will I be able to load all 4 wedges into the standard default golf bag WGT provides?

  I carry three wedges (without the recovery wood), I suppose if you took out your three wood and just carried a Driver wih four wedges I think that would work?

  Yes, you can, but you'll have to give up your wood table level (37), you can not have everything in the same bag, the choice is yours luck!

  The rules (1) limit the number of clubs to 14.

  The WGT bag does not widen this limitation. It's functions are perfectly and exhaustively described in the Pro Shop appearance :)

  (1) official golf rules by R&A and USGA

  No. The bag is just fluff. However, I would highly recommend getting the other 2 wedges and carrying all 4! Ya, you heard me right. LOL. I never even owned a 3W or HB until I made Legend. 4 Satins and a driver was my ticket. The length of the holes isn't a big factor with a decent driver and good fwy% until you make Legend.

  Seriously, there's 2 ways you can look at this game-traditionally where you have the driver, 3w, hb, irons, wedges and putter in your bag- or realistically- what it takes to score here. Until you're backed up to the longer tees your 3w and HB are pretty much not needed. Think about how many times you actually use them in an 18 hole round and compare that to the number of times you use your wedges. 

  4 wedges gives you 20 different shots to use and there's virtually no situation you can't extract yourself from and save the up and down. Your 3 iron punch will get you back in play from places you might have used the HB or 3W. You might also sacrifice an occasional eagle opportunity but what you learn hitting those wedges will stay with you for as long as you play and really pay off when you make Legend.  :-)

  Dont forget PUNCH shot will get you different distances for same club that will equal 4 clubs if you carry 2 wedges for sniper shot as you say.

  Jim is right on the money.

  Many of the lower level players don't properly use the punch shot that helps to close the distance between all clubs and is especially useful with your wedges.  Once you hit the legend tiers the shots to the greens become longer and you will find that having the variety of wedges is much more useful than the hybrid, especially since a punched 3 iron out of bad rough still goes a good ways.

  I have the pitching wedge with my set which goes 120, punch to 103, take the spin off it and it goes 108.  The 3 Cleveland wedges go 100, 84 punch, 80, 68 punch 60, 50 punch so you can see from 120 down to 50 my yardage gaps are pretty narrow and using spin can help to fill those in as well.

  Thanks guys,

  I never really thought about using the Punch, like that. I'll have to remember that and give it a try.
  Somebody mentioned something about, "Teeing Off From Legend Tier".
  I have no idea what that means. LOL
  I speak baseball, basketball and a little bit of football and barely enough of NASCAR to get by.
  I really don't know too much about golf.
  I'm one of those people that just likes to get out there and hit the ball.

  If your gonna play CTTH you can drop the driver which is useless in that type of game, and add an extra wedge

  When you reach legend tier you suddenly find yourself teeing off from further back, up to 100 yards further back in some cases.

  The legend tees are sometimes referred to as the car park tees.  It takes a few rounds to get used to them, instead of a wedge or short iron for your second shot you find yourself having to hit a 4 or 5 iron.  Once you get the hang of them though your scores return to being good, as long as you have decent clubs in your bag.
