RoyN Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Anyone using this set up for their wedges? Haven't run into anyone using the same system. But definitely found it more versatile than i originally thought it would be. Decided to dump the set GW when I switched irons (Zx5 mkII) in spring. But with stronger lofts and set GW being 47-50* now and PW being sub 45*. My gaps were to big and I i wanted a lower lofted wedge to use around the green since I dont use my set PW for chip shots.

Nzubin Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I have this set up and it works just fine for me. My PW is 45* and the 48 fills the gap between that and the 54 just fine. RoyN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W. Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Mine wedge set up is Pw-45*, Gw-49*, Sw-54*, Lw-58*. But it's mainly cause when I got Arccos, the stats showed that I never used the 60* (2 shots in 20+ rounds). So I swithed LW to 58* which was too similar to SW 56*. That became SW 54*. The GW is always my 100 yard club, so after a couple simulator sessions, I had it bent to 49* to get a consistant 100 carry.

bellken Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 48, 54, 58 for me. The 48 is a 2021 T200 gap wedge, 54 is a Vokey SM8 54 S, and, the 58 is a SM5 K. I have a 52F SM6, but, it seemed a bit close to my 48, so, I went with a 54, which, I find to quite versatile around the green.

Slurv_85 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I have this exact set up. It fits all my needs. I only have a Driver and 5 wood so I actually have two 58s (1 low bounce, 1 high bounce) for versatility.

ParFore74x Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I’m currently sitting without a LW in my bag and not sure if I would put one back in. PW - 44°, GW - 49°, SW - 54°. I had a 60° in for quite a while but very rarely used it. Probably less than two swings in a ten round stint would be my guess. Maybe a 58° would be more useful to me.

GolfSpy_APH Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Was thinking about this thread earlier when I was doing some swings and getting some gapping data. I like where my irons are at (t100 PW and gw) at 46 and 50 both bend 1 strong to 45 and 49 for help with the t150 gapping. However it's left the 54 58 a little awkward. I have a set of 52,56,60 which in trying and so far really like. I think I may go to 53,57,61 for my 4 degree gaps and just a little extra bounce. It would be unconventional, but hey it could work brilliantly! bens197 and RoyN 2 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

bens197 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I’m closer to doing that than not while running with 46 - 50 - 54 - 60 I’d love to ditch the SW and just go gap / lob but it would look more like 46 - 53 - 59 I use the GW more than any other club during a round so as long as I can get that one right, anything is possible.

Michael.Sandoval33 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I am surprised so many people ditched their 60 but to be fair, I do not have a 58. I have a 47, 52 and 60. I like the setup personally. The 60 is such a spoon, it has launched over more bunkers than I'd like to admit. dbdors, RoyN and Kenny B 3 Quote WITB Driver: Qi10 Max Hybrid: FX Max 5h 5i-9i: FX Max 10 Wedges: 48°, 52°, 56° Putter: HB Soft 14 Ball: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never open up my 54º sand wedge with 14º of bounce, and my 60º is my favorite wedge in my bag... use it for most any shot around the green. Edit: my pitching wedge is 48º.

I just found that a 60 got me into more trouble than out of trouble, (carried a 60 for a long time). I was more likely to make chunks and duffs with the 60. And I really don't use the 58 all that much, but I feel more comfortable with it when I do.

At some point I may bend the 53 back to the original 52 and stick with 44, 48, 52 & 56 (4 degree gaps). But with my skill, 5 degree may be better. brogies and RoyN 2 Quote Woods: Rogue ST Max LS 9*, Ventus Blue 6S / Stealth Plus+, 15* (set to 17*), Stealth 2, 22*, both w/MCA Diamana Thump 75S Hybrid: 0317 X Proto 4H, Xcaliber RTI75 S Irons: IRON 101 5-PW, Accra T90i S Wedges: CBX ZipCore 48*, Accra T90i, 53* & 58*, Accra T100i S Putter: LAB Golf EF3, Accra graphite, 34", Press II 3* Ball: Maxfli Tour Bag/Cart: Fairway 14 Stand Bag / 4.0 / Alphard Club Booster V2, Swivel kit Accessories: 360 / Garmin G80 / Nikon Coolshot Pro Stabilized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refused to use a 60 but only had a56* in the bag. But inwould open it up more than half the time. So i just went to the 58* and play it square. Only needed to open it 2 or 3 times ever. But my GW was my most used club outside of the bunker so i just split the difference really between my 50 and 56, 53. And my 56 and a 60, 58. Or a Sap and Slob wedge as i jokingly call them. The 5 * gap works perfect since i play my wedges all the same length.

Butch Harmon said it, amateurs shouldnt use anything over 58. Since I opened my 56* to essentially 58* I decided to switch and now just play the 58* pretty square. But i could open it up if needed which is rare. brogies, dbdors and Michael.Sandoval33 3 Quote G430 Max 10k 9° 3+ Hy-wood 17° 4+ Hy-wood 20° 4 Hybrid 22° Zx5 mkII 5i-P CBX 48°, CBX FF 53° & 58° Frontline Elevado Z-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With stronger lofted irons and some sets having 2 gap wedges the need/space for a 60 is diminished. The versatility of wedges allow you to do so much more. I play full face wedges in my 53 and 58.
