What is the best wedge set up?
When it comes to common wedge setups on the PGA Tour, there are far more golfers playing with four wedges than three. Looking strictly at the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking, 80 percent are using a pitching wedge, 50/52-, 56-, 60-degree loft combination.
What kind of golf wedges do I need?
To make it easy, a good rule of thumb is to have about four-degrees of loft between your wedges. So, if your 48-degree pitching wedge flies on average 110 yards, and your 56-degree sand wedge goes about 80 yards, you probably need a 52-degree wedge that carries around 95 yards to fill an important hole in your setup.

- Sand Wedge (SW)
- Lob Wedge (LW)
Should I carry a 60 degree wedge?
Absolutely! In fact, I would recommend utilizing your 60 degree in the sand even over your 54 or 56 degree sand wedge. If you have a longer bunker or sand shot, then utilizing a 50, 52, 54, or 56 is perfectly fine, but on those short, difficult sand shots, get your 60 degree wedge out and splash it out of the sand.
What wedges does Rory McIlroy use?
Wedges. McIlroy used a 52-degree TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 (MG2) gap wedge, 56-degree sand wedge and 60-degree lob wedge throughout 2020.

What does S grind mean on a wedge?

Perfect for pretty much all turf conditions. The S Grind is available in 54, 56, 58, and 60 degree options – all with 10 degrees of bounce.
Do you need a 56 and 60 wedge?
For the average golfer, having both a 56-degree sand wedge and a 60-degree lob wedge is completely unnecessary. A 56 or 58-degree wedge should be a lot more versatile for most and is the highest wedge loft that should be in most bags.
