T200 P wedge is 43 degrees.

52 and 56?

52 and 60?

48 and 56?

Those are some big gaps.

Would dump one of your hybrids/metals and carry 3 wedges with a P lofted like that.

48, 54 and 58/60 if you like a lob wedge.

If you’re insisting on the metals, I’d go 48/50/52 and a 56/58/60 depending how much distance you can cover but seems like 120-80 will be problematic with just 2 wedges.

Lofts are stronger so you might need an additional gap wedge.

I’d guess 48 or 50 would be a good initial gap wedge for that setup.

Then it’s a decision.
Some would say 54 or 56.

Looking to develop the long clubs…was hoping to leave some room up there.

Guess I could get a 48, 52, 56.

You need a gap wedge. Probably 48, which is what a normal pitching wedge used to be.

There is a t200 gap wedge. Thats what I would get first.

50 and 60

Seems like a big gap, but playing the ball in the front or back of your stance can close the gap in these two wedges.

For example, I play as follows:

50 back 90 -100yds
50 front 80 - 90 yds
60 back 70 - 80 yds
60 front 60 -70 yds

Great idea. Mine are the 2021 set with the cap back…I saw they have one when I looked up the loft of the P. It will be an unmarked loft W?

I’d be a chili dipping, blading SOB if I tried to pull that off. My brain totally sabotages me.

I go set PW of 47, 54, 60 with no issues.

54 has 10 bounce and 60 has 8. The 60 is a do it all club for me. And I occasionally use the 54 for long bunker shots and long, simple bump and runs.

If you don’t have 3-4 different games intensity/legth swings with each of your wedges to cover yardage gaps, then you should probably go 52, 56, 60 or 50, 54, 58.

I currently have 44/47/50/55/60. Will dump one soon, but trying to see real life gapping for a few rounds.

Should be. Ask them what the loft is. But if your 43 is stamped as PW then W should be the gap wedge.

You’ll use the shite out of it.

I honestly think that your best solution might be either simply getting a 45 degree that you like and dumping both the 44 and 47

Or turning down the 47, 1-2 degrees to 45, or turning up the 44, 1 degree to 45.

Usually going up is better because it increases the bounce instead of decreasing it.

The 50/55/60 setup sounds nice.

Weight forward and let the club do the work… let it just fall and swing through, brushing the ground. Head down through the shot.

52 and 56. 60 has its uses, but an opened 56 can mimic it

I settled on a 50/54/58 and it works well. Huge variety of shots with those three clubs.

I'll get down voted but the vast majority of golfers are better off without a lob wedge....myself included

I play a 46 pw, 50 bent to 51 and a 56

I have a 48, 52, and 56. Pulled my 60 out of the bag due to not enough talent to be consistent with it.
