Gap Wedge

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.

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

What you need is my 8 Iron, Lee, mine goes 120 yds.

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!
