Question 1

What is a 52 degree wedge good for?

Accepted Answer

- This will describe what a 52-degree wedge is good for. - A 52-degree wedge also called a gap wedge is perfect for hitting at yardages that fall between a pitching wedge and a sand wedge. For a lot of players, this distance could be anywhere from 100-130 yards. - A 52-degree wedge is perfect for that 100-130 yard shot that isn't ideal for a sand wedge or pitching wedge.

,

The 52 degree wedge is most commonly referred to as a Gap Wedge. The clubs primary function is to close the gap between the pitching wedge and the sand wedge, which may have as much as 10 degrees in loft separation, resulting in a large gap in distances covered. The Gap wedge can also be used for lower flighted chip shots around the greens adding an element of versatility to the golfer's greenside game.

,

When you need a bit more roll and less height, that is what a 52 degree wedge is good for on the course. A 56 degree gets a lot of height, which may not always be needed from around the greens. The 52 degree wedge is an option for a bump and run shot while keeping the trajectory low and let it roll to the flag.

Question 2

What club goes farther 56 or 60?

Accepted Answer

- This will answer what club will go farther - 56 degree or 60 degree wedge - A 56-degree wedge will consistently go farther than a 60-degree wedge. This is because it has less loft allowing more forward launch to carry it past that of a 60 degree which has more upward launch. - A 56-degree wedge will go farther than a 60-degree wedge.

,

Typically, the 56 degree wedge will travel further than a 60 degree wedge. This is simply due to the loft presented at impact and the design of the wedge. The 60 degree is designed to get the ball in the air in the fastest time while the 56 degree applies a bit more versatility where you can open it for more height or close the face for a lower shot.

,

In general, a 56 degree wedge will go farther than a 60 degree wedge. The average amateur hits a 56 degree wedge (also known as sand wedge) about 80 yards. The average tour player hits a 56 degree wedge about 110 yards. The average amateur hits a 60 degree wedge (also known as lob wedge) about 70 yards. The average tour player hits a 60 degree wedge about 90 yards

Question 3

Is a 52 or 56 degree wedge better?

Accepted Answer

All wedges are designed with a purpose. sand wedges (somewhere between 54 and 58 degrees) often have a lot of bounce on the sole of the club, so it can rebound off of sand and turf without digging in. Gap wedges (usually between 49 and 53 degrees) tend to have less bounce and are mainly used on approach or on chips off of a tight lie. Use the right club for the right shot.

,

Neither one is better. They are used for different situations and the results are different between a 56 degree wedge and a 52 degree wedge. The 56 degree will have a higher trajectory and the distance overall will be shorter. The 52 degree wedge will have a lower trajectory and have longer distance overall.

,

Highly dependent on the golf bag's gapping and the types of shots played by the golfer, the 52 degree and 56 degree have different functions in the golf bag. The 52 degree is better fit for full swings for shorter shots than a pitching wedge while a 56 degree is mostly used for abbreviated swings for more versatility. When deciding on the wedge make up, the golfer should examine current gapping and look for a loft gapping from Pitching Wedge to the highest lofted wedge in 4-6 degree increments.

Question 4

What 3 loft wedges should I carry?

Accepted Answer

Most golfers prefer to carry three different specialty wedges — a gap, sand and lob wedge. Each wedge is used for different playing conditions and situations close to the green, and are some of the most versatile clubs in the bag. Although there are several variations, a gap wedge usually comes [in about 52°, a sand wedge in 56°, and a lob wedge in 60°](https://www.curated.com/sellable/AgAAADAA16j33QhZTRCthEXRBKZ0NA) of loft.

,

The most common 3 wedge system, without the pitching wedge in consideration, is the 52, 56, and 60 degree. In recent times, specifically with pitching wedge lofts getting stronger, players are opting for the 50, 54, 58 combination. Ideally there should be about a 4-6 degrees difference in loft between the wedges, including the pitching wedge.

,

- This will answer what 3 loft wedges should someone carry in their bag. - The three most common wedges people carry in their bag are a 52, 56, and 60-degree wedge. It comes down to preference, but this gives golfers the biggest variety of shots to play with these three wedges in the bag. - 52, 56, and 60-degree wedges are the most common and recommended wedges to carry in the bag.
