Any need for a Gap Wedge?

[Fourputt]

Just a few weeks ago I switched out my 52° Vokey for the 51° AP-2 that goes with my set. It gave me more consistency from the PW (110-120) to the GW (100-110) than the Vokey did. I could only hit the Vokey about 90 yards max, and the feel was just a lot different. Now the only mismatched iron in my bag is my 56° Vokey SW.

I just started using a gap wedge last summer when my buddy gave me a 53 degree cleveland and have since switched to a vokey 52 degree. I love this club it is definitely my money club for my 115-125 yard shots and I think it is much easier to just take my gap wedge instead of trying to hit a knock down with my PW, but really with this sport I would have to say to each his own. So as far as I am concerned a gap wedge could be a valuable asset to any golfers bag.

I agree with the majority of posters on here, I'd be lost without my 52* wedge.

Being from central Scotland the wind is nearly always a factor apart from the mid summer months so hitting a full shot with a lob wedge is a no no unless you want to watch it float backwards over your head or into the car park!!

The 52* lets me hit more shots and gives me the options I need when the 58* wont get there or the 47* is too much club. I can't imagine having a yardage gap anywhere in my bag but the last place I would chose to have it would be in the wedge department (that sounds slightly "wrong", there is nothing wrong with my gentlemans tackle I can assure you!!) I'd sooner have a gap from my driver to my next club.

And this is the crux of the matter. I can get by with a small gap at the higher end of my bag.... Above 190 yards out is never going to be my scoring shot anyway. But I do expect to get close from 120 in (doesn't actually happen as often as I'd like, but I still expect it

), so I want consistency throughout the iron set from 7I on down. That is why I went to the gap wedge which matches my irons.... just made things a bit more predictable. I also love it for chipping.

Just got a 52 the other day. Gotta admit its been pretty good, Just need to learn the distances with it.

My 52* gap wedge has become one of my favorite clubs. I use it for the 100-30 yard range. It is solid, consistent club for me. Sure, sometimes I scatch my head at the 100 yards range, trying to decide between my GW and PW. But again...if it is in the 100-30 yard range, the 52* is a confident "go to" club for me.

I also carry a 56* SW, but I have a high bounce on it, so only use if from sand and thick rough. I use my 60* for 30 yards and in. So...my wedges are very situational. The 52 and 60 are probably the two most commonly used clubs in the bag.

I think I use my Gap Wedge on every hole. Not sure what I woulddo without one.
