Do I need a 52, 56, and 60-degree wedge? Yes, you definitely need all of these wedges. The 52-degree, the 56-degree, and the 60-degree wedges are some of the most commonly used clubs in golfing. You'd significantly narrow your scope of play on the course if you didn't have any of these clubs ready to go in your bag.

If you're a beginner golfer, you can expect your 56° wedge to send the golf ball flying some 60 – 80 yards. Intermediate golfers can achieve a distance of 80 – 100/110 yards with their 56° wedge. Finally, professional golfers can cover the distance of 115 – 120 yards with their 56 wedge.

If you have issues in the sand and simply need a wedge to help get the ball out of the bunker, look to something like Cleveland's Smart Sole 4 wedge to get the job done. The Smart Sole 4 has an extra wide, three-tiered sole and added leading edge bounce for maximum forgiveness.

Know your pitching wedge loft. So generally think about putting in a gap wedge that's 48 or 50 degrees, a sand wedge that's between 54 and 56 degrees, and a lob wedge that's between 58 and 60 degrees. These are general guidelines, make sure you're working with your fitter to get the gapping that works best for you.
