Specifically degrees of those wedges and distances/shots you use them for.

Recently picked up a new set of irons and the lofts are a little different than I had previously so I feel it's created a bigger gap. I've always only carried a 56* that was my "do it all" wedge from 105yds and in.

I have a 52, 56, and a 60. 52 goes about 105 and is very consistent to hit that number. 56 goes about 95-100 on full swings but I feel like the grooves are fading on it. 60 goes about 80 I bet but I rarely ever hit full shots with it.

My 56 has 10* bounce and 60 has 6*. I will use either one under 80 yards depending on lie or turf conditions. Same around greens, 56 or 60 depending on lie. Both have ability to open and close and a land still sit well at address. I can hit the 60 off of hard pan with confidence.

I don’t play the 52 around greens for anything. It’s either a PW for low runners or the 56 or 60.

I carry 3 Callaway Jaws. Yardages depend on time of year and the lie but right now these are my smooth swing distances.

50° - 135 yds
54° - 120 yds
60° - 105 yds

I hardly ever use my 60 and I use my 56 for everything 115 yds in. I'm heading to Golf Galaxy today to pickup a new Cleveland RTX Zipcore.

They can stamp whatever letter they please on this, but it is not a PW.

That is the weirdest gapping I’ve ever seen in my life. 20 yard difference between 58&54? 10 between 50/&54 amd 15 between 50/46?

What if I told you a 100% swing with a 54 is 125 and a 50% swing is 62.5 yds? Is that weird?

I wish I had more distance, but I use sort of a 3/4 swing for most wedge shots. I find if I swing full, the ball spins too much at times.

48, 52, 60
48-lost it somewhere, somebodies hitting it
52-100
60-80
So, I have to do a lot of 1/2 to 3/4 swings and such with what I got.

Also what I'm swinging. Little stronger than what I had previously I believe.

How do you like the Jaws? Looking at maybe a 52* and 60*. Prob between those or BV.
