What is the angle of a King Cobra II Oversize PW?

[frogger]

I'm trying to find the angle of my pitching wedge so I can determine if there is a need for a gap wedge in my set. Does anyone know what the loft angle is for a King Cobra II Oversize PW?

Here's a good site for club specifications but I don't see the King Cobra II listed. If it's the SS Oversize made in 2002 then it's 45º. I do know that the Gap Wedge for the KC II set is 50º which matches the one for the 2002 set, so more than likely it's 45º.

It doesn't matter if there is an loft gap, it matters if there is a yardage gap.
If there is a huge difference between your wedge yardage and your sand wedge yardage?
If not, then there is no need for a gap wedge.

I was looking for the same info awhile back and found this post:

Since then, it seems like I've seen other references that confirm 46*.

My 2 cents worth is that the loft of the pitching wedge is irrelevant. What's more important is the distance you hit it.

For example, if you had a 46* PW which you hit 110yds and a 56* SW which you hit 100yds, then despite there being a 10* gap, you don't need a gap wedge. Conversely, you could have a 46* PW and a 52* wedge with a 20yd gap, in which case loft says you don't have a gap, but distance does. I whether you need a GW depends on the performance of the individual clubs - remember most of us are carrying a SW that is not the same as out iron set, so of course, it would not be reasonable to expect the yardage gap to be consistent as compared to the rest of the irons.
