RapidEntry2012: can you guys advise as to when I would use a 52 or 54 or 56 wedge in what circumstances, this is a response that will help me too.
You don't have all three in your bag have you? 60° and 64° belong in this section, too.
Their usage is uniform, depending on the shot length you require, short approaches, green bunkers, pitches, flops & chips.
They are characterised by two numbers, shot lengths for full & punch shots. It's advisable to have nicely stepped clubs in the bag, also in regard of the PW in the iron set.
Many better players suggest three wedges instead of the original two, dropping the hybrid for this purpose.
60 - 80 - 100 yds are for the big boys with high-level irons,
50 - 77 - 93/98 is another sequence.
