    As I changed my iron set (first time non-Titleist haha), the PW has 44 degrees. I'm about to update my wedges and wanted to go for the following set-up: 48, 52, 58. Because currently it is 48, 54, 58. But I do see the gap between 48 and 54!
    What do you guys think? I don't want to carry an additional one, but I'm trying to keep the gap as tidy as possible, and my short game is not the strongest, so I really need to trust the carry length of each wedge. For me, I thought it more important to keep the 4 degrees difference till 52. The 58 will be more of an all-rounder for the sand as well, etc. Or do you think the gap is too "heavy" after the 52?

    My basic GW-SW-LW is 52-58-64. 38.5-46 on the 9 & PW has been a good combo for some time.

    The 2nd image is my spares. T200PW, 46-10F set to 44*, 50-12F set to 48* vice 46* loft for "tightening things" up. Have a 58-06K that I throw in for unknown conditions. The "Scripps" 58/12 I've played with a 3 wedge setup.

    50, 54, and 60 works best for me. I use to use a 56 but switched to the 54 as it was more versatile for my game

    Bottom line, many golfers get too technical with basic equipment. Wedges are a feel club, and you have to be able to
    "take some off it" as they say amongst players. The most important factor is understanding your swing and the bounce that works best for you. If you have good technique, you can switch from the 52/56/60 mode to 50/54/58 in a matter of days. If you have a 6 degree gap in there between PW/Gap wedge, it's not a huge deal, you learn to make it work with feel. I see guys all the time that can't play a lick giving swing/club advice, do yourself a favor, find a teacher/fitter, and establish a relationship. It'll pay off! Good Luck!
