I have the Callaway X20s and it came with a SW (55 degree) that I don't use (I have a Vokey 56 SW and 60 LW). My question is has anyone had any luck, or is it even possible, bending the SW to say 50-52 to be more of a Gap Wedge? I would just buy a X20 GW/AW but the only ones I see online are graphite and I have steel. Anyone have any advice?

I know the bounce and such would be affected, but being a stock X20 SW I can't imagine it'd be the end of the world...

If you already have two Vokeys, get a Vokey GW.

Warning... Warning... I bought an X20 AW last season, and it was a pain. It had 50* loft and 11* bounce, and I had a terrible time getting consistent distance on it. I ranged anywhere from 70 to 100 yds. on full shots.

I switched over to the CG14 at Christmas, and it have been really pleased with it. Used it to set up my scramble team with three short birdie putts a couple of weeks ago. The lower bounce and smaller head makes all the difference.

If you get a Vokey, you'll probably be looking at a 50* or a 52*. Your X20 PW is 45.07, so you need to decide if you want a 5- or 7* gap between your PW and GW. Of course, best thing to do is check the distance difference between a Vokey GW and both your 56* and the X20 PW.

If you go 52-56-60 and settle for the 7* PW-GW gap, you might be able to shave a few yards off the PW by choking down on it for "in between" shots.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Callaways are stainless steel, and bending 3 degrees is a chancy........ your getting close to were stainless likes to break. ( depending on the grade of stainless)

What is the stock loft now?

If you already have two Vokeys,

I hit my PW 120 and SW 100 so I just need to fill that gap. Maybe I'll see what's around for a vokey.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
