I am trying to determine the wedge required to fill the gap between my PW and my SW. I have decided on the Nike SV Tour, so I dont need to get into a brand debate, but rather the gap in loft between the clubs.

I currently have my Hogan Apex Edge PW that is 46* loft and a Nike 56* and 60*. I like the way the Nike's feel and want to get the matching gap wedge but am having a hard time deciing on 50* or 52*. Either way I end up a little off on equalling the caps.

Suggestions?

Split the difference and get the 52 and have it bent to make a 51.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Eh, having the same degrees of loft separation doesn't necessarily equal an exact yardage gap. What are the current full swing yardages you hit those 3 clubs? Find the middle of the gap between the PW and SW, and match that yardage to a wedge. I'd guess you'd be best off with a 51 or 52* gap wedge. I'd buy the 52 and try it, and if you feel like you need to strengthen it, you can bend it by a degree or maybe 2. If you buy a 50* and end up needing to weaken it, you'll be creating too much bounce for your gap wedge, and although you can have it ground down to reduce the bounce, you don't wanna do that to your pretty new wedge do you?

Thanks. Ended up getting the 52* and having it bent to 51*. Took it out to the range and it should work out fine.

hit a 3/4 pw,my gap is same 48 pw 56,60 its never hindered me to much enough to justify 100+ dollars for a club really dont need

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
