I really love my tour models from ping, give them some green side shots before you commit to something else. Whatever is comfortable and gives you confid

Get a job - even after a few hours of minimum wage work, you can probably afford almost any gap wedge.

The Cleveland CG16 is a great wedge. I too really like the Vokey wedges, and I have one in my bag, but after trying the Cleveland wedge, I loved it.

Assuming you want advise, not money.

Either match your irons or match your wedges. You MAY get a bit more length if you match your irons. You MAY get a bit more versatility if you match your wedges.

How the **** does this help? Price was never an issue

Take it easy. He was joking.

This is like the 3rd or 4th thread that you've posted about gap wedges, so you're obviously concerned about choosing the right wedge. If it hasn't been said before, go to a golf shop, take a look around, and try to hit as many as they will allow you to. Anything from the major OEM's, as long as you like it and feel comfortable with it, will be a good choice. Remember that you always have the option of bending the loft of a wedge if it's not just right.

Good luck.

Some irons sets do have an available GW that progressively follows the lofts. You can opt for that OR you can match the GW with whatever SW and/or LW you have in your bag.

For example, if you have a Titleist AP1 set, there is a matching GW that goes with that. The other option is if you SW or LW is a Vokey SM4, then get a Vokey SM4 GW.

      By Elmer ·

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
