Hi all,

Just wanted some ideas for a wedge I want to get.

I hit my pitching wedge about 140yrds and my sand wedge about 90-100yrds.  I want to get a wedge that will give me a result somewhere in between the yardages above.  My sand wedge is a 56 degree wedge.  If I was to get a gap wedge, what sort of angle of degrees should I look into getting?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd say 52 or 53 degree Lee. It'd probably get more use than your PW too if you bought one.

Lee,

140yds from your PW! thats impresive distance. What Loft is your PW?  I asume that its going to be in the 46* to for 48* degree range. If so then as Johnathan said a 52* will suit you well. But as always trying them before you get your wallet out is always a good idea as diffrent club manufacturers have diffrent bounce from wedges which make a diffrence.

WOW 140 yards for a pitching wedge i agree with above 52* would be about right.

At the other end of the scale what do you use from 6o yards and in? ive heard that there are 72* wedges on the market but havnt needed one myself but this may be of a benefit to you.

Colin, The 73* is by Feel wedges, but the are designed to pop the ball straight up in the air for use around the fringes of the green, i think if you tried to full swing one of these you would end up knocking yourself out

I thought 52* would be about right.

Colin - 60 yards in I tend to use my sand wedge.

John - How much do you want for it??

Just been looking at the feel 73* wedge, its bloody ridiculous!!

How it can be used effectively I'll never know!! (Sorry Colin, I aint knocking your reply)

Just wanted to thank you all for your input on this thread.

I ended up purchasing a TaylorMade TP Satin 52* wedge to go with my 56* one!

Thanks again!
