Does anyone use a different PW than the one that came with your set?  Like I have a Vokey 50, 54 & 58 and I'm contemplating replacing my Razr-X PW with a 46 degree Vokey.  Not sure if this is wedge overkill or if I should simply keep my set PW and make the jump to the Vokeys with my 50 GW...

I personally use my Nike VR PW that came with the set, I don't see any reason in replacing it.  However, if playing a Vokey wedge is an upgarde over what you currently have then it may be beneficial.  I don't see enough benefits in replacing my PW though, but as I said, that's just me.

My irons have lofts way stronger than clubs used to have, so my 5-GW includes a 42.5 degree PW, 46 degree AW (my prior PW was 47 degrees), and a 49.5 degree GW.  I hit them all fairly consistently.  I also have 52 and 56 degree wedges from another vendor but I prefer taking a little off of the 49.5 to a full 52, which is out of my bag at this time.

Holy Crow that is a strong PW. That may even be stronger than my 8 iron!

Sweet mother Mary!

So basically a 2 - SW set but we added 1 to each # on the sole and then, when we got to the wedges, just said **** it and went to the bar.

I have my set (mizuno mx25) PW, yet have the same thought of trying a vocker 46 or 47° wedge.

I find that the PW is a club I use a lot on partial shots or punched short game pitches. The loft is really easy to hit with different intersities, I enven wonder why I keep my gap wedge.

yet my set PW doesnt have that great vockey touch, grooves nor stiff shaft and since it's a set wedge easy to hit it has a gap with my 52°.

I replaced my iron set PW with a 48* Vokey long ago. I hit it about 8 yards shorter (1* more loft on the Vokey but that doesnt account for 8 yards) but add in much more versatility on less than full shots.

Use my mp-32 PW, and have x-forged 52, 56, 60. Wish I could get a mp-32 gap wedge since i only ever use it for full swings, but love the x-forged sand and lob.

I use my set PW which is 47*, but it's function is that of another iron. Mostly use it for full swings and my 52* is used how some people use a PW. I deloft a lot of my clubs so when it comes to wedges they effectively play less loft than what the # on the sole states.

Now I'm confused, I thought an Approch and Gap wedge were one and the same? Your set has both.

Agreed.  I always thought they were the same and they should be!  The 42.5 degree PW is very strong lofted in this set.  I think we are at the point where these iron sets should just be listed by loft versus number...  People are running around saying they hit their 7 iron a country mile, but in actuality it is simply a 6 iron in disguise.  The lofts are getting stronger and the shafts longer.

Let's see...3.5 degrees will let you still fit all those clubs in there so that your 2-S, now comes as a 3-S with 2 more clubs. I realize they don't sell the 3 and 4s that much, but still this is amazing. I wonder why they go 3.5 and then have that giant 5.5 gap from the G to S? Can most ams that these are marketed for generate enough club head speed to warrant 3.5 gaps?

Anyway, back to the topic. I weakened my pw from 47* to 48* and since it was a blade I didn't see the need for a Vokey. But now that I am thinking about it...hmmm.

It's not my set, just put the data up to clarify some of the conversation. My PW is 10 years old and has 48* of loft. After that I have a TNT 52-08, a Nike SV Tour 56-14 and a Mizuno MP-T11 60-08.
