I just went and replaced my Callaway X-20 cavity back approach and sand wedges with a 56* and a 60* Titleist Vokey Spin Milled wedges. I came back to the house and hit them for about an hour. WOW! What a difference. So now I want to replace my pitching wedge as well. What degree should I get? Thanks.

Well, with a 56˚ and a 60˚, you should probably have 48˚ and 52˚ wedges to fill the gap.

But 47-48˚ should be fine.

i agree, a 48 deg. should do the trick.

IMO I would stay with the x20 wedge... or get an x20 pro series wedge. The difference in your club vs those vokeys when you are making full swings from the fairway will be HUGE. In addition, because of the design of the wedge and shaft, you will (probably) lose distance with a different wedge. If you are still sold on "upgrading" make sure the clubs are the same length and check the loft of your current wedge and have the vokey bent to match. Or leave it as it is and adjust accordingly.

After sleeping on it I think your right, Ill keep my p wedge in the bag. I use it more as a regular club than anything eles. I think Ill get a 52* gap wedge insted.

good choice... gap wedge is very important IMO. I carry my PW, a gap wedge of 51* and a 56*

    • After thinking about it for a few years, I've finally joined a local golf club.  My goal is to par every hole this year; I'll be tracking it in the spreadsheet.  I think it's definitely more interesting as a single course rather than a composite, so this should be fun!
    • Nearly two years later...I haven't practiced once.  I've been playing a lot, and enjoying it, but just haven't really thought about working on my swing to actually get better until the past couple weeks.  Honestly, it's been inspired a little by "teaching" a couple brand-new golfers to play, and seeing (and helping) them try to get better. I've scheduled a lesson with @iacas in Erie...I'm planning on actually getting back in the habit of improvement.  We'll see how it goes.
    • Pretty solid play for Saso. I enjoyed it. Meechai took a beating. That’s a US OPEN right there!
    • I have played two. I believe Southern Pines #9 should be on the list. 
    • I know this thread isn’t based on statistics, but this kind of logic doesn’t work when applied to a single specific case. First of all, these aren’t independent events, like a coin flip. You can’t just multiply the odds.  Second, we are only discussing this case BECAUSE it’s unusual. If something (“Team X wins 21 times in a row”) has a one-in-a-million shot at happening, but there are many similar events, it’s much more likely to happen at any ONE of them. To be clear, I don’t have an opinion either way about this specific Club, but the statistical arguments based on random independent events don’t have any relevance.
