gap wedge, end of an era ??

Does it's job the same as any other club for me. This is like saying it's the end for an 8 iron because you can grip down on a 7.

way, way too sensible a response to a thread on wedges that's also got loads of reference to bounce! :cheers:

I have PW (46 degree) 52 and 58 degree wedges. Nothing changing in that set up anytime soon. Enough options and versatility for me regardless of the lie

Pitching wedge, A wedge, gap wedge (54*) and lob wedge (58*) in my bag

Interestingly at DG today I was suggested to buy a lobber, saying that most tour pros use one.

My gap is my main chipping club, my 56 used when there is grass under the ball. I use my 8 a lot when chipping too, third after the highest loft wedges.


TBH i am confident enough in my putting to deal with a few extra feet a couple of times a round when I have to use a 56 or a 52 (lie dependant) so I can carry a gap wedge or a 3 iron/hybrid or 3 wood.

I really have nothing I feel I could drop to take me to 4 wedges.

I only purchased a gap wedge 3/4 months ago and is the most consistent club i have in that anything from 50 yards to 90 yards i nearly always hit the green with it where my SW (upto 50 yards) and PW (100-110 yards) a bit inconsistent.I believe everyman for himself, it does not matter how old the club,what brand or what state the club is in , the whole point is to get that little white thing into a hole in the ground with whatever is legal.

Never had a gap wedge and never missed one - might be different if I played a course with soft greens
