Ping Wedges

[bbedell]

Hey guys. I'm looking for a 47 or 48 degree wedge to fit between my 43 and 53 degrees. Does anyone have any experience with/opinions on the new Ping Tour-W wedges? thanks in advance

Do you honestly find that much of a gap between the two clubs?

My PW is 45 and my SW is 54 and I only notice a 10 yard distance gap.

Ping Tour W is 47* and up, So you'll have to bend it one degree weak to make it a 48* , Best wedges ever IMO

Do you honestly find that much of a gap between the two clubs?

I do, 9 degrees is a huge gap to me because I like to swing smooth and easy with wedges, 45* 50* 54* 60* my best friends from 115 and in

Yes I do, hence why I am looking for a gap wedge. At this point my next wedge after my 43 degree pitching wedge is my 53 degree sand wedge. I constantly find myself on holes where I have to half swing with my pitching wedge (43 degree) because I can not get enough out of my 53 degree to get it to the green. I would love to have a nice gap wedge in between where I can just step up and make a nice smooth swing and hit these tweener greens consistently.

Some juniors here play the Tour W wedges without a particular reason. I tried them but they felt very harsh and I struggled to get any spin with them. The club also felt weird in my hands and I hated the grip so I have no reason to buy a club that I have to regrip right away. I play Vokeys because they feel very soft to me and the spin is incredible.
Just to prove my point, I had a chance to hit my friend's Vokey CC Spin Milled (tour 2010 grooves) and found that the ball would spin more with those than with the Tour W wedges.

Now I'm not encouraging you to buy Vokeys instead but I need to try them to see if you like them.
