Gap Wedge
Hi Guys and Gals, I am thinking of buying a gap wedge, I play with Ping G10 Irons, and was wondering whether I shoud stick with a Ping wedge or maybe try the Nike BV wedge.
I would appreciate any comments or advice.
Regards
Graham

Graham, do you mean SV? I have a 56* and 60* and can't say enough about them. However you've got to keep on top of them because if you skull one it'll go 100yds +.
In terms of feel, how they sit on the turf, how you can open the clubface and get a fullish swing... inspires confidence.

I've got CG14's. Great clubs and I nearly went for the Ping's as it was close between the two. Don't wory about what you've got in your bag as the moment, just try as many as you can until you decide on which ones you like best.

I Believe the G10's are a great set of clubs , but as for wedges , go try some out , if you can everyone has own personal preference , i myself carry 4 wedges , 47 pitch , 51 gap , 56 sand and 60 lob , gives me varying distnces from 135 yards and in , hope this helps

Greg, yes I use it from the green side bunkers (tho' not exclusively...if the lip on the bunker has not been maintained I've used a putter out of a bunker) and I got it for the same reason you mention.

There's no doubt there's a downside to them however I can't play Moor Allerton without them.
