Re: what wedge

50. It'll help keep the yardage gap consitent.

Re: what wedge

my first answer is the 50*. Then I started thinking - test them out and check the distances with each club. Then when you are buying a GW, buy one that fills the distance the best between your PW and SW. Typically, that will be the 50*, but not every time.

Re: what wedge

True Gord - I forgot about the length caveat (amongst other things).

Grab both a 50 and a 52, and see which sandwiches nicely between PW and SW.

Re: what wedge

Man those Macgregors are strong lofted! My Pro II's are the spot version (stronger pro style lofts) and the wedge is still 47°.

Cleveland do a 51° wedge just for reference.

I would suggest you maybe even try a 51° wedge and a 57° sand wedge if you dont carry a lobber.

Re: what wedge

i have actualy got a 55 deg 5040 wedge from snake-eyes i think i might keep that,i get about 70 mtrs with it,can you tell me should i play all my pitches/chips from 70mtrs in with it cos i tend to use my pw unless im behind a bunker or the likes.is it for the fairway, rough, sand im just not sure when to use it thanks for any help.

Re: what wedge

I think you need to learn to hit half swing shots inside 70m - and learn to do it with all your wedges. Then you'll have 4 more repeatable shots inside 70m.

Re: what wedge

In every wedges you use you must have Loft differential minimum 4 degree,

if your PW : 45, Gap Wedge : 49/50, SW : 54/55, Lob Wedge : 59/60

good luck
