Personally, my setup is

P/52/58/64

Leaves a decent gap between 3 wood/3 Hybrid but make due there for the gap wedge.

If you want to stick to 2 wedges, P/52/60 makes the most sense to me.

Not when his PW is 43 degrees. 43 to 52 is a huge gap in scoring clubs.

I'm pretty comfortable taking some off my P, if that's too big of a gap. Bend the P stronger.

Having a 60+ around the greens is too beneficial to pass up. Make the other gaps work for you. Someone earlier posted you don't need a 60 because you can open up a 56, well what if I want to open my 64 to a 68...

If it were me and I needed 2 wedges to add to a 43 I'd probably add a 48 and a 54

I ordered a new 2021 T200 48…SM9 56 added today. Could have gotten an SM7 48 much cheaper, but I think the T200 will be easier to hit. Matched shaft to that set as well…instead of to the Wedge Flex wedges. Will go well in the set.

It absolutely will be easier to hit. I think you made a good decision

I play 4 wedges not counting the PW. If scoring happens from 150 in, then your bag should adequately support every shot 150 and in, IMO.



I still suck tho, so there’s that

PW/48/52/56

I carried a 60 but ditched it for a longer club at the other end of the bag.

Your PW is too strong.
Bend PW to 45
50 stays at 50 degrees
Bend either 54 or 56 to 55 degrees
That should give you a 12 yd gap in your three wedges.
Preferably same lie around 64 degrees. 1/2 inch variance in length.
If you really want your set to be set properly, the following will give you the best length disparity based on 45 degree PW.
9 41*
8 37*
7 33*
6 28*
5 24*
4 21*
5 Wood or rescue at 17.5*
3 Wood 14.5*
Driver 10*

i had a P, 52 and 56, and a 130 distance was just a struggle for me. and, i thought my P was 47/48 degree, but was told thats old school. its closer to 45'ish now. so, for christmas i got myself a 50 and 56. haven't played them yet, but i'm thinking/hoping that carries my 130/135 area i was struggling with.
