  • only one wedge - your choice ?

    Hi ALL
    There was an interesting (offtopic) discussion about a Sand Wedge, vs Lob Wedge recently, so I thought to expand this out for discussion (if anyone cares, of course): If you had to carry only one wedge (like for Sunday bag/minimalist golf bag), what would your choice be - IN ADDITION to your PW. IOW, it should cover Pich/Chip/Sand/Lob usage ?
    Thanks and cheers !

    P.S. For me, it would be a High Loft, High bounce wedge, something like 60*/12*.

    Tough choice.. I assume you mean in addition to your PW?
    If you mean 1 wedge including PW - it would be my 52*
    If in addition to my PW - then my 58*

      LW for me, anything around 30-40 yards and around the green that's the club I'll grab right away from my bag.

        PW (10 iron for most anyway?) and then a wide sole high bounce 54 or 56* that's all i want or need at my skill level.

                I only have a 56*/10*. Don't know much about wedges beyond 56/10. How would a higher or lower bounce help or hurt the various usages you envision?

                        I'm going the other way and bending a 54 to a 55. Mine's a Cleveland.

                          I am not sure I can play without my 64.

                          I would work on a 100 yard shot in with my PW (which likely would take lots of work to go from 56 to 46 for that...)

                          And still opt to carry my lob 64 for anything inside 80.
