Wedge Gapping

[slowhand]

I recently updated my irons, and my new set stopped at PW, which is 46°. I replaced my old 56° TP9 sand wedge with a TaylorMade 58°, as I had a 52° gap wedge, giving me 6° between each wedge. Should I consider replacing the 52° gap wedge with 50° and 54° wedges, to reduce the gaps between each wedge? What are people's thoughts on 3 wedges vs 4?

Ta,

Michael

been discussed many times on here, those who are decent with 3/4 shots see no need for smaller gaps, those of us who arent as good prefer more wedges and smaller gaps.

for me I cant see why you would ever want bigger gaps between your wedges than you have been between your irons so I have 4 degree gaps and carry 48(PW)/52/56/60 and they cover from 135 downwards for me

Similar to fundy for me, my PW is 45 then 3 more wedges of 48/52/58. This covers me for 130-80 yards.

I'm a fan of a full shot, although have learnt to hit an 80% to fill the distances.

Should I consider replacing the 52° gap wedge with 50° and 54° wedges,

The short answer is no
The long answer is noooooooooooooooooooooooo
In my opinion

Your PW is for lower shots, 52 for medium and 58 for high. Job done.
If you did change you would have
