Does anyone use a different PW than the one that came with your set?  Like I have a Vokey 50, 54 & 58 and I'm contemplating replacing my Razr-X PW with a 46 degree Vokey.  Not sure if this is wedge overkill or if I should simply keep my set PW and make the jump to the Vokeys with my 50 GW...

I personally use my Nike VR PW that came with the set, I don't see any reason in replacing it.  However, if playing a Vokey wedge is an upgarde over what you currently have then it may be beneficial.  I don't see enough benefits in replacing my PW though, but as I said, that's just me.

My irons have lofts way stronger than clubs used to have, so my 5-GW includes a 42.5 degree PW, 46 degree AW (my prior PW was 47 degrees), and a 49.5 degree GW.  I hit them all fairly consistently.  I also have 52 and 56 degree wedges from another vendor but I prefer taking a little off of the 49.5 to a full 52, which is out of my bag at this time.

Holy Crow that is a strong PW. That may even be stronger than my 8 iron!

Sweet mother Mary!

So basically a 2 - SW set but we added 1 to each # on the sole and then, when we got to the wedges, just said **** it and went to the bar.

I have my set (mizuno mx25) PW, yet have the same thought of trying a vocker 46 or 47° wedge.

I find that the PW is a club I use a lot on partial shots or punched short game pitches. The loft is really easy to hit with different intersities, I enven wonder why I keep my gap wedge.

yet my set PW doesnt have that great vockey touch, grooves nor stiff shaft and since it's a set wedge easy to hit it has a gap with my 52°.

I replaced my iron set PW with a 48* Vokey long ago. I hit it about 8 yards shorter (1* more loft on the Vokey but that doesnt account for 8 yards) but add in much more versatility on less than full shots.

Use my mp-32 PW, and have x-forged 52, 56, 60. Wish I could get a mp-32 gap wedge since i only ever use it for full swings, but love the x-forged sand and lob.

I use my set PW which is 47*, but it's function is that of another iron. Mostly use it for full swings and my 52* is used how some people use a PW. I deloft a lot of my clubs so when it comes to wedges they effectively play less loft than what the # on the sole states.

Now I'm confused, I thought an Approch and Gap wedge were one and the same? Your set has both.

Agreed.  I always thought they were the same and they should be!  The 42.5 degree PW is very strong lofted in this set.  I think we are at the point where these iron sets should just be listed by loft versus number...  People are running around saying they hit their 7 iron a country mile, but in actuality it is simply a 6 iron in disguise.  The lofts are getting stronger and the shafts longer.

Let's see...3.5 degrees will let you still fit all those clubs in there so that your 2-S, now comes as a 3-S with 2 more clubs. I realize they don't sell the 3 and 4s that much, but still this is amazing. I wonder why they go 3.5 and then have that giant 5.5 gap from the G to S? Can most ams that these are marketed for generate enough club head speed to warrant 3.5 gaps?

Anyway, back to the topic. I weakened my pw from 47* to 48* and since it was a blade I didn't see the need for a Vokey. But now that I am thinking about it...hmmm.

It's not my set, just put the data up to clarify some of the conversation. My PW is 10 years old and has 48* of loft. After that I have a TNT 52-08, a Nike SV Tour 56-14 and a Mizuno MP-T11 60-08.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
