Ben Hogan wedge advice

[darriusdax]

Lads and lasses... picking brains again... im tempted by the ben hogan online only equalizer wedges... they look great value for the quality and all the reviews are good... but you dont get to try them out or get fitted for them. Has anyone used them or are using them.. its not just value that tempts me, they look right up my street but im also not sure what degrees to go for... i have a 25yr old wilson sw and a goodwin lob wedge... will a 54 and 58 effectively replace them.... thanks

In old money a sw was 56 degrees and a lob wedge would be around 60

If you can't ry them I'd "gap" them all from the loft of the PW from your set.
It will also depends on how many wedges you have room for and whether you hit fullish shots with them or just use them for partials...
AP2 PW is probably 46/47°
You may get away with 52/58 or you may want 50/54/58 bearing in mind the set PW will likely go a bit further so a 50 may fit quite well.

I will probably be changing my irons soon... so maybe i should hold on and get all in one go.... bloody hell its a complex decision.... i think i enjoyed buying a hoover more...

I just did my own floor to wrist measurement... came out as 38 inches which on the ping chart puts me way off average... 4 degree upright... might expain why i have been struggling with my non fitted second hand AP2s

Did you get fitted for it and is it within the legal limits?

dando.... i see you are tall like me... did it make much difference when you got longer clubs with a more upright lie
