Help with wedge gapping? WIMB

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I am trying to figure out how to gap my wedges, I have a set of p790's 5-AW. The AW is 50* and will have faster ball speeds then my incoming vokeys. I am ready to order sm9's but trying to figure out gapping. I was planning on going 54* and 58*, but playing some more recently has lead me to remember how much I love my 60*. What do you think about doing a 56* bent to 55* and a 60*? Is 5* too much and will the AW be too long? Thanks!

It really depends who you ask, but I'd ask you a question back.  How comfortable are you with 3/4 and 1/2 swings?  If you really want to do it right then I'd get a monitor and figure out how far you hit your AW.  Then think of the types of shots you want to hit with wedges and what distance you want those to go.  Try out 54, 56, 58, & 60 and see what those differences are.  in reality 1 degree probably isn't going to make that big of a difference, especially if you are comfortable taking some off the 50 to hit a distance you might not be able to reach with a 55.  

4 degree gaps in the wedges is more traditional, but nothing says you can't have 5 degrees.  

I'd also ask what shot do you want to hit with a 60 that you think you couldn't hit with a 58?
