AP2's...but with different PW?

[JYB]

Would you guys/gals recommend that if i got the AP2s, i keep the PW in the bag?

I'm thinking about going 3-9 with the AP2 but what about the PW? Should i go PW, 52º, 58º all outside wedge?

I tried out the AP2's today and i really liked the feel of them over the ZMs, ZB's, Cobra CB/MB's, etc.

The Mizuno MP-57's felt nice but i just don't want to get Mizuno irons for some reason...the only other clubs i liked were the Callaway X Forged but that was just because of their luck, not so much of how they played.

As for wedges, i'm not sure what to get. I like the idea of the Vokey 200 Series but i would have to get all the lofts switched to my preference. Oh well, the question at hand is about the PW in the AP2. What do you think?

I've kept the AP2 PW in the bag. I have a 54 and a 60 degree wedge.

I repaced the PW that came with my set with a 48/6 vokey and im happy that i did. The downside to it though is possibly having to get it bent a degree strong to get the same coverage. I think doing that takes away from some of the playibillty from the club, but i think you'll still get more versatillty out of a wedge style PW than the AP2 PW. I found the AP2 PW a little arkward to chip and pitch with.

What's wrong with the AP2 PW? lol.

Sometimes I feel like I'm reading a foreign language on here.

Most PW from a set are made like irons, where as "aftermarket" 47deg wedges are built like wedges.

If you have a set that is CB/MB and the PW is not a forged blade type like when you buy a 52/56/60 then you don't get quite as good "feel" and consitancy from a wedge with any sort of cavity in the club. Some also prefer a different bounce on the PW then what the stock PW comes with. Also depending on the set some PW are 47, some are 48 or even some other loft. If your next wedge after that is 52, 56, 60 and your PW is say 47, that leaves a weird gap in terms of loft and thus you may have to get that 47 bent to be 48 instead so you have 4 deg of loft difference between each wedge.

I am contemplating changing my PW for something with a greater loft as well. My PW has a loft of 45*, and my wedges are 52*/56*/60*. So that leaves a 7* gap. My 9i is a 40* loft, so if I swap my PW for a 47* I will leave a 7* gap to my 9i. So in the end, maybe I will just let things be.... unless I get 50*/54*/58* wedges... hmmm

haha, this just goes to show the combinations are endless!

[JYB]

the combos are really endless but what i think i'm going to do is stick with the AP2 PW at 47º and then go with a 52º and a 58º wedge which i'll bend to 57º perhaps...it all depends on how the fitting goes.

BTW, i'm marking my titleists in a new way that their website inspired me to do. it's pretty damn hip!

I ordered my AP2's with the PW (47*) and the additional (gap) wedge that's 51*. These are both pretty much full-swing clubs from around 125 and 110-115 yards, so I wanted to keep the same as the "regular" irons. I also have a 54* Vokey that I use for most/partial shots under a 100 yards, and my greenside work is done typically with a 58* wedge (and the 54* for when I don't use the 58* greenside).

I had the same problem and I solved it by buying a 48* wedge and putting it in the gap between the PW and the 52* wedge. It really filled this gap well, and I also use the 48* wedge for a lot of bump and runs, and long chips. It is a very versatile club.
