Yardage Gap Advice.

I recently purchased new irons, 4-pw. My old clubs were a nice set of callaway x-14 pros, and I picked up some UFIs, which, needless to say, are completely different. on the x-14s my PW hit about 130, and i could get by with my SW at 100 in. My new PW hits about 150-145 (very strong loft, closer to a 8.5 iron really), and that leaves me in a bind. As I've started hitting more fairways off the tee, I'm left with alot of 120ish yd approach shots which I don't have a good club for (ironically my slice used to leave me far enough away from the green that I usually had a good club for whatever distance). Question is, what should I get? I've thought about a 48, 52 wedge combo, or a 46, 50 combo. PW is lofted at 43 I think and my SW is the standard 56. Thanks!

i'd stick with 43*, 50*, 56*

PW is 43'! WOW! I guess that I'd suggest a 48'/52' combo myself. This, of course, depends on how far you hit each of them. It's easy to tweak a wedge by a degree or two if you find that you want to change the gaps later though.

Yea 43* is ridiculous for a PW.

I should mention I usually carry 10 clubs now so I've got lots of space in my bag.

Try to find the original GW at 48.5* as full wedges are "best" with the set's irons, from there just add a few specilist wedges like a 52/56 or 54/60 whatever you like best.

As for topics on gaps or wedge choices, 3-5 threads any week, so just use the search option and you will find whatever you want to know.

43 is my 9 iron. I'd say then you'd do 48/54 with your remaining wedges. If your irons are that strong, how in the world are you hitting your 4 iron consistently (or maybe you aren't)? Sheesh!

I've never had to hit my 4 iron in a round yet, though on the range, it's not a problem; It's actually closer to a 3 iron which is fine. I used to hit a 2 iron blade in high school, that I had found in my garage, so long irons really aren't a problem for me.

I just picked up a 48 actually :)
