Product Information

I used to play a 60 degree wedge and I then changed my gapping and got a 58°. I genuinely cannot tell the difference in loft looking down at the club and I find that it gives me more consistent distance control on full shots. Partial pitch shots inside 60 yards work well with it, but it is especially good out of green side bunkers which is my main use for it.

So I would say that you should use a 58 degree if you want more forgiveness than a 60 degree wedge. It's very small difference of 2 degrees and is more mental than anything else. But the big decider will be which gapping you use in your wedges. Hey everyone! I am new to this forum and I have done some digging around for similar topics but I wanted to ask the club techs what their opinion is towards the above loft sets. Soft or soggy turf golf course with fluffy bunkers: Higher bounce will prevent your club digging into the ground. It will skim off the ground instead of digging. If your bounce is too low, you'll experience a lot of digging and big beaver pelt divots. In the soft bunkers, with high bounce, you will notice a very easy sliding of the club under the ball. If your bounce is too low, you need to really shallow out your swing to skim the club just right making the margin for error very small.

As a rule of thumb, the less loft there is on a wedge, the easier an average golfer will find it to hit. If you want to play a lob wedge, a 58 degree will suit you better. Wedges with 60 degrees of loft or greater are usually reserved for scratch golfers and professionals. We believe the most important things are correct gapping, ensuring you are fitted for wedges and having the right type in your hands that suit your swing + deciding on lofts depending on your capabilities to hit half and 3/4 shots. If you have that ability and are confident, trying going down to 2 wedges outside your iron set. What Howard said is correct (of course, it's Howard), plus the gapping question is mostly prominent in gap wedge; most pros will opt for a 60 degree lob wedge rather than 58 if using 4 wedges so a 55 or 56 slots in there nicely. If they have 3 wedges in the bag they will have 6 degree gaps which will result in a 58 or 59. But otherwise, 4 degree gaps with 4 wedges I feel is way too limited in shotmaking ability around the greens - I myself opt for 5 degree gaps (46, 51, 56, 60 (because I don't want a 61 due to bounces and it being unecessary)).

Not so. Despite having the same length shaft, the 52° came up 16 yards short of the PW. With the 50°, the difference was still 12. The PW just had a hotter face, and the CGs carried the ball a little shorter than expected.

Most golfers have a pitching wedge as part of their set of irons. If you wanted to build a 3 wedge setup from there, this is what it could look like: Yes you can use a 58 degree wedge as a sand wedge. It's a good option for golfers who struggle with their sand shots and often leave the golf ball in the bunker. Choosing a high bounce club will also help with playing bunker shots out of softer, fluffier bunkers as mentioned above. My ability to hit shots from 50 yards up to 110 with my 52 makes me better. I generally only use my 58 from around the green or in bunkers. In their infancy, the Vokey mission was a simple one. Listen to players describe their wedge shots, and craft a wedge grind that performed exactly how the player wanted. Grind in wedges is all to do with the sole and how it sits on the ground. Grind is a highly complicated area, and if you want to know more, then you can read and watch our 'Weducation' video here. We look specifically at the Vokey SM7 wedge and go through each grind.

Next is actual gaps, loft itself is the most important, but if you play a different shaft for wedge, the same 4* of gaps might not be right into wedges.I carry 52 and 58 now, I am generally regarded as the best wedge player in our club - not big headed but I would generally get up and down around 8 or 9 items out of ten from within 60 yards of the green. Some iron sets will have a more traditionally lofted pitching wedge at 46 degrees. If you have one of these you could go for three wedges set up like this: Dont take what im writing to be "correct or the facts", ive been wrong more that once......this time i forgot to mention that Wedges often has a higher center of gravity than irons = lower launch and longer distance if loft was the same, (so its more than the shaft i mentioned), and thats also a reason for why we often see a larger LOFT GAP from the PW to the GW, and then they fall into a more even pattern again.... Its many reasons, first of all that many play a PW with higher loft than 46* (47* and 48 is common on the tour)
