I have 3-PW Talyormade r7 XD irons and fairly old vokey wedges and there is a 30 yard difference between my PW and my 52 degree vokey. I have tried to choke up on a PW or hit a 52 as hard as I can, but those approaches either are miss-hit or still don't go the correct distance. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, and if it would be a good idea to get a r7 XD 49 degree AW to go between my 52 degree vokey, and my 44 degree PW, or if I should just keep trying to fix the swing. If I did get this new club I would remove my 3 iron that I never use, and it would not be a big loss. Thanks for the input.

WOW 44 degree pitching wedge? that is a strong loft! Game imrovment clubs have gotten streonger over the years so we can all say I hit the same iron into that green as a pro!!!! when in actuality there is a club if not more diffrence between Game improvment Irons and Muscle backs or blades. I just started using a set of Muscle backs and the PW is 47 9 iron is 44 I cant say I hit my 9 iron 150 anymore but I also dont need a gap wedge anymore. Why not go to a 50 and a 58 wedge to help close the gaps?

I still think that if I did that I would still have the distance gap since the new wedges would not have the extra distance technology like the XDs.

Hey guys, best i can figure all the new club makers are going stronger, even the blades out there are being delofted, i think they are going for the mental side(i can hit this new PW 135, my old PW was 115 or 120)

Exactly! My brother-in-law settled on TaylorMade irons because he hit the 5 iron farther than the other brands he tried. If you're worried about the extra distance technology why not just buy the matching wedges for your set. I think you need to fill the gaps rather than change your swing. You might be able to find them cheap on ebay too. Proshopwarehouse.com is also a good place to look for these.

i have the same problem with the XD burners i bought. I ended up picking up a 48 volkey and switched to a 54 sand instead of the 56. Just a idea. 3 and 4iron out of the bag. get a hybrid and extra wedge.

how about picking up a 48 and a 56?
4 degree gaps between your wedges.

    • 12 July 25 - Got invited to a Sat morning round with some friends.  Was a decent round - sort of a pre-tournament round for the 1st of Aug.  Best play of the day - lost ball off the tee on 7.  Took the drop, hit 3rd onto the green, missed the par putt by 3 inches short - middle of cup.  Was a good bogie recovery.  Learned a valuable lesson - the wedge is your friend, the collars on the greens are just long enough that they kill the putter (unless you hammer it).  Back to more of those nice chip and roll drills. &nbsp
    • Day 357: played 27 holes. +6 total - pretty pleased. Only negative was missing the hole 3 times from within 4 feet…
    • Day 1: 7/12/25 exactly 60 minutes of chipping practice. Unlikely to be able to practice very much but sure had a blast today!
    • Didn't score better, but made better swings on the course today. I found a bit of success on range pre-round, just hitting like what felt like 60-70% shots. It was more right elbow and right wrist angles in the downswing. Driver took a bit to work out the giant toe push draws I was hitting.
