Do you have a gap wedge in your bag?

I’ve been demoing irons and will buy a new set by the end of the year. I currently don’t have a gap wedge, I go from PW to 52. I’m not sure I have a need to get a set with the gap wedge. I hit my 52 90-100 yards and my PW 110-120. Just curious what you guys are using? Keep in mind, I suck at this game.

Yep. Probably the best club in my bag. Can hit it 100-110 with good control.

Well good news. You got one. Unless that PW loft is something retarded like 42 degrees of loft

I agree.

Most dependable club in the bag for me.

I play the X5 irons.

I have a 60 degree I hit 65 yards (full), or shorter if I want to fly the ball to the hole.

I hit some really good shots with it at times and some really shitty ones at other times.

Half of my irons are wedges

PW (44 deg)- 135
48 deg (set)-125
50 deg -115ish
54 deg - 100ish
58 deg - 90ish

I don't carry anything above a 5 in irons, so I have the room in the bag. And I don't like to swing the wedges too hard because I launch the ball higher more than further. Plus Im at a skill level too have a chance of skulling 60 yards past the green.

I need to get better feel and drop the 50 deg at some point. I could close that gap with practice and open room for a 4 iron.

I’ve gone back and forth over the year about getting the aw/GW as part of the set.

At current, I’m against it. I want a separate AW.

My AW is part of my iron set, but my gap is a callaway jaws raw 50°. Works well for me.

It just dawned on me that maybe AW and GW are supposed to be interchangeable. Mine are very different lofts though.

I have a 50. My favorite. I can use it for about every shot.

I have a 52, 54, and 58 i only use yo make my bag heavier.

Most newer clubs the lofts are all jacked. My PW is a 44 I believe. I just swapped out my 52 for a 50 and it fills that gap better

Depending on the set, this is the answer.

If you get a set with a 44 degree PW, then you'll want to snag a 48.

I have a 48, 54 (bent to 53), 58 in wedges and works really well for me.

My set includes an AW but I also have a 50 with some bounce. Prefer the AW I get about 125 out of it. Around 115 with the bounce one
