okay I've got a fairly new set of clubs which include R11 graphite shaft in irons up to pitching wedge and a 50 degree and 56 degree TaylorMade ATV wedges. and I notice today I have at least a 25-yard gap between the pitching wedge and the 50 degree wedge. I am wondering if anyone thinks that switching to graphite shafts in my wedges would close that gap to match the graphite shafts in my irons. By the way I played pretty well today I shot a 94 which is the second time in a roll I've been under a 100 I had a goall beginning of this year to score under 100 and I did two times in a row already so I'm pretty happy

Make sure you aren't flipping with the shortest clubs before you go to the trouble of changing shafts.

Easy to let the club head catch up with (or God forbid, pass) the hands before impact with wedges. I had that problem when I first started playing and couldn't hit a sand wedge over 80 yards to save my life. I was almost to the point of thinking it was impossible to get more distance with it before I finally figured out what I was doing wrong.

Since I didn't have that problem (for some unknown reason) with a pitching wedge, and I didn't carry a gap wedge at that time, I had a HUGE gap.  Now I only run into a problem when the darn thing goes farther than it's supposed to go. Ha ha!

Had 100 yards on the number to the middle of an island green Saturday and I thought a smooth sand wedge would be perfect. Thought I hit the perfect shot right at the flag and it flew the entire green into the water.

All that said, I do have the same shafts in all of my irons, including the 52* and 56*. I don't in my 60* but I rarely carry that club anyway.

great suggestion thank you. I do have that problem from time to time in flipping my wrists. Are you using iron or graphite shafts.

I have steel shafts. Project X 6.0 rifle shafts.
