    Hi,

    Which is the correct Wedge degree to replace the default SW and LW with?

    56? 60? 64?

    thank you

    When replacing wedges the rule is start with your pitching wedge and then work backwards 15-20 yards in spacing . As you move up the tiers you will see that most of us get rid of our hybrid and go with 3 wedges . The usual 3 will be 60 80 100 yard wedges depending on the player .I use 3 wedges which are 54 60 64 degree wedges and they dont let me down . Hope this helps .

    The LW is 64 degrees, the SW is 60 degrees.

    I have a set of clevelands and the ATV's, but I prefer a 50,75,100, yd wedge, it helps out when in between shots you can punch with wedges , example when you have a 60 yd shot , I use the 75yd wedge, in punch mode and its 62yds . helps me out a lot with short game.
