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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
