For many years, I played a 52, 56, 60 combo where the 56 had much bounce and was generally only used in sand (rightfully or wrongly).
I'm now thinking 52 and a 58 so I can bag both a 5w and 3w. Does it bother anyone that neither of these wedges would have big bounce numbers? The 58 I'm looking at has 10 degrees of bounce.
On the range today, I hit the 52 on a full shot about 95 yards, the 58 about 65 yards. I also hit a 54 which I own and it was maybe 85 to 90. I bought a 52 to replace the 54 so I could have a bit less bounce as I like to run the ball up to the hole vs. fly it high on many shots. Sand play is the key concern I have in playing a 52, 58.
