Well, now that I've replaced my old irons and putter, I'm now looking to replace my wedges and find a complement that works with the new irons.
The lofts on my irons (TaylorMade RAC LT) are as follows:
3-21*
4-24*
5-27*
6-31*
7-35*
8-39*
9-43*
PW-47*
Granted this is a pretty subjective topic, but I'd appreciate some feedback nevertheless. The wedges I'm looking at are the match to my set - TaylorMade RAC wedges - click here to see a list of available lofts. I'd prefer the black wedges so I'm considering going with the 52.08, 56.12, and 60.07. But here are my questions: 12* of bounce on my sand wedge is worrisome because the courses around here tend to get quite hard in the summer; is 2* of bounce (I could get 10* in chrome or FE2O3 finish) really going to be that significant for a mid handicapper in these conditions? And how important is the gap wedge? I've never played with one in my bag, and while I certainly find myself between clubs on occassion, I've either just hit a finesse PW or nuked a SW when the situation called for it.
Let me know what you think.
