iron degrees

[cantputt]

just awhile ago i bought two wedges: spin milled 56 and 60 degree. i use the 56 but decided to not use the 60 degree because i had no room.. i needed a gap wedge cuz my distance gaps are wierd.. cuz i hit my p wedge about 135 and gap around 120 and sand wedge about 110. my current pithcing wedge is a mx-23 and it is 45 degrees. i ordered the 695mb's a few days ago and was wondering if the since the pithcing wedge is 48 degrees will i be hitting it shorter? will i hit all my irons shorter? the mx-23's are like 3 degrees less than the 695's on every iron.... i think.... i would like to decrease the huge gaps between all my irons and take out the gap wedge hopefully and use the lob.

You'll have to wait to find out. It's more about the launch angle - Titleist's 695.CB irons have 2 degrees less loft than their .MB counterparts, but launch at about the same angle (so people can mix sets).

More weight low (like the MX-23s) = higher launch. So you may lose distance (three degrees is a lot, after all), or you may not.

Wow, 45 degree PW is pretty strong. Usually a 9-iron is about that loft. You'll more than likely lose a little distance with the 48 degree PW, but the shaft length will be the same, so it shouldn't be too drastic.
