Fitting Between the Pitching Wedge & Sand Wedge

Most golfers have heard about the "Gap" between the Pitching Wedge (PW) and Sand Wedge (SW). Ideally, you want about 4 degrees of loft difference between your Irons. Typically, the PW ia about 48 degrees and the SW about 56 degrees. That's an 8 degree gap!


The GAP Wedge has become the answer to this gap but requires some thought.


First, determine your "gap" in degrees between your PW & SW. Next determine the mid-point degee of Loft between them. Try to find or order a Gap wedge with the exact mid-point. Most Wedges can be bent +/- 2 degrees for loft so a custom golf shop can make any fine adjustments.


Also, to stay within the 14 Club limit you will have to give up a club (probably that hard to hit long iron).
