I just purchased a set of irons (5-pw), Titleist ap2, the were fitted for me, 1/2 inch short and 2 degrees upright.  Last year I purchased 52, 56 and 60 degree wedges (Titleist Vokey) that were "off the rack".  Should I modify the wedges to match the new irons?

Thanks

I have always wondered about this as well. My irons are +3/4" and my wedges are stock length. Sometimes I hit it pretty thin if I am not careful.

I just have an interesting distance gap between my PW ( -1/2", KBS Tour Stiff shaft, soft stepped) at 105-110 and my 52 degree (standard length, S400 shaft) at 90.   Incidentally, there isn't the same gap to the 56 (standard length, S400 shaft, same set as 52) at 80.  Maybe I should re-shaft, as I like the club-heads in these.

I've been matching my wedges in length and lie to my irons for awhile now. I am considerably more consistent and can control my wedges better than when i used to just get them off the rack.

So to answer your ? yes i would suggest that you match your wedges to your irons. I think you'll be surprised how much of a difference it really makes

You seem to have a pretty good handle on the yardage diffferences. On the PW, could you choke down a quarter-inch to shave off a little distance?

Focus, connect and follow through!

It's certainly what I do when I need to take a little off the PW.  Makes me feel like AK too.  I'm just not sure I like the yardage gaps in the middle of the set, but new shafts for the wedges aren't a high priority.

You should definitely get your wedges fitted for you. You can buy them off the rack and then have them fitted or get your stats and order them in. IMO they are your scoring clubs and 70% of the game is from 100 yards and in.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
