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

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
