Pulled the trigger and ordered Ping G15 irons.  I am second guessing my decision to go with the 4 iron through gap wedge (Ping labels as UW).  Anyone think I would be better off dropping the UW and getting a Ping Tour Wedge or perhaps Vokey or Cleveland for my 50 degree.

It really depends on how you use your gap wedge. I only use my G15 "U" for normal/full shots, no chipping/pitching. Of course it came with the set since I bought off the rack. I have a Callaway 54/15 that I use for sand and a Vokey 60/04 for chipping.  In my G10 set I really don't like the set SW and substitute a Ping Tour wedge.

What I would second guess is the 4 iron. I stop at a 5, of course my 5 irons are about the same loft as my Eye2 4 iron.

If you are going to carry four wedges, possibly you should do a gap analysis to see how well the wedges work together. Do you have any yardage gaps?

With Ping, Cleveland and Vokey wedges in play, shaft lengths might not match up for the wedges to work as a set . Could take some shaft trimming by clubsmith.

If you opt for CG14 GW, it may be difficult to find a 50.08 wedge in that model. Also, note that some CG14 wedges Tour groove (CC conforming) have been issued, and may not spin the same as original Zip Groove; CC versions have black rather than gold gel inserts on back of clubhead.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
