I use 56* 58* and 60* wedges. I noticed I have a large gap in distances between my PW 135 yds and my 56* 90-100yds. Is this yardage gap necessary to fill? I rarely find myself at that distance, but I am <100yds a lot


PW* 120-135yds
56* 90-100 yds
58* 70-80 yds
60* 40-60 yds

Any thoughts

G10 (VS Proto 65 X) or 905S (speeder X) / X Tour 3W (VS Proto S) / Adams Idea Tour Proto 18* (VS Proto S) / S59 Tour, Z-Z65 Cushin (D2) / Mizuno MP-T 51-06 , 56-10, / Miz TP Mills #6 ~or~ Cleveland BRZ #5

Id suggest adding a 52* and removing the 60*. IMO, there is no reason to carry both a 58* and 60*.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Personally, I'd store the Eye2 56* and the 60* in the garage or basement for future pondering.

I'd keep the Cleveland classics 58* and add a similar style of gap/sand wedge (like a 52* Cleveland or vokey). The Ping sand wedge is one of the fugliest irons I've ever seen. But hey, maybe that's just me.

It does look like your lofts are compressed.


I like having them spaced out to allow more full or 3/4 shots that fill the yardage gaps nicely.

I have finally settled down with my current set and am very pleased with the results.

The only reason I carry the eye 2 SW is: I love this club, I only hit it out of the sand, and I am really good with it. I am not married to the 60*, but I did just buy the 58*. I like the 58, so Ill try to open it up a little and practice my 60yds in shots with it. Im thinking of a 52*, keeping my 56* and 58*. Any thoughts on this?

Should work just fine. I usually carry a 52* and a 58*, but sometimes I add a dedicated 56* SW. Even with only 2* difference the 56* and 58* are very different clubs with different uses.

I had a big gap between PW and SW as well, so since I had a 5 wood, I got a set of irons that was 4-AW (approach wedge, same as gap wedge) instead of 3-PW, and it's working out great. Did that to fill the gap and also leave a slot open for a LW, which I'm hopefully getting in a few days. I love the AW, it is my go-to club from 140 yards.

I prefer using 4 wedges. Currently using a 46* PW, 50* AW, 54* SW, and a 58* LW.

Gives me a lot of full swing yardages, and options around the greens. If I played a course where my strategy needed another wood or iron, I'd probably ditch the AW.

Sorry for switching gears a bit, but with wedges... I also like to keep consistency with the shafts, and grips. My wedges should be the same shaft as my iron set... Project X, KBS, DG, whatever. It's a good idea to have consistent grip type and size throughout the set and wedges. Lastly, the shaft lengths should be stepped down in length in equal increments from 3-LW.

Most people get wedges ala carte and don't put enough thought to fit and consistency.

My AP1 PW is 45* and my W is 50*. I'm thinking about buying a 52* Vokey and that will give me 45* 50* 52* and 56*.
I'll take out my 60*

Having a 54* and a 58-60* make the most sense. Wow, did not realize how strong the lofts are in the AP1's.

Be careful. When you alter loft, you're going to change the bounce.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
