"Traditional" 48-52-56-60 with 58-12K for course conditions www.titleist.com/.../gzhgootgtlhevxqdmnye

I just acquired SM11 56-14F and 60-12K

My wedge gapping is 50-54-58-64 with SM10 52-12F, the two SM11s and 64T.

For Torrey Pines, would pull the 60-12K & 64T and replace with 58-12D (57*), 60-04T and PM Grind 64.

Update.

My gapping in the thumbnail is 42-50-57-61. The attachment is my lob wedges. 60-06K and 64T are a pair that would replace the 62-08M (61*).www.titleist.com/.../zaei0nknsnfhr07fgyap

Today is Dec 28. My Vokey setup in the thumbnail is 42-50-57-62. The "50" is 52-12F and "57" is 58-12D.

The image attached is what I play for courses like Torrey Pines. I replace the 58-12D and 62-08M with 56-14F-60-06K-64T. 56-14F is set to 55*.www.titleist.com/.../w6xywcnmw7tpyo6innz8

I returned the 58-12D and got a 62-08M. The attached image is with the wedge gapping 50-55-62 for my carry bag. The 46-10F is a replacement for the 9 iron (44* loft). The 56-14F (55*) is much better than D grind for hitting off the fairway and they are close to equal in soft sand. The Miramar Golf Course added sand to its practice bunker. My thumbnail has the 60-04K and 64T. www.titleist.com/.../hlw6rphbtthggf6hjo1l

[quote user="Lou G"]What one sees in my thumbnail is what we get. I'm using a 46-10F set to 44 in place of a 9 iron. My wedge gapping is 50-55-60-64. 3 wedge setup is 50-57-64. For a "Sunday bag" replace the 8 iron and 46-10F with Wedgeworks 44F (42*).

I reshafted the 46-10F to NSPro 940 S and set the loft to 44. I now use the Wedgeworks 44F for a Sunday bag. My basic short iron gaps are 38-44-50-57-64. I throw in 60-06K at certain courses.

Yeah I would agree with 4-6 degrees gapping. I’ve got the new T150’s 1 strong so I’m at 43-48-54-60. I had the 48 GW bent to 47 but I just bought a SM10 48 10F and I realllllly love it.

43 PW - 48 10F - 54 10S - 60 8M

60 is mostly greenside. I also have a 54 8M and 60 04T I’m tinkering with this offseason. I’m Midwest but it can get pretty hard pan in dry spells during summer.

[quote user="Lou G"]Since then, not counting the Wedgeworks 44F (which is set at 42* as a 9 iron replacement) my basic wedge lofts are 50-57-64. I have a 60-06K for course conditions. The 50 loft is 52-12F. 57 loft is a 58-12D.

I have the Wedgeworks 64T on order.

For places like Torrey Pines, I carry 56-14F (55*) and 60-06K. 58-12D set to 57* works in a wide variety of conditions.

Most players like a 4-5 degree gap in their wedges so you don't end up with a yardage you can't hit.
My PW is 46, then i play SM10 50, 54 and 58. It gives me good distance gapping and with the right grinds (54 08M and 58 04T) i can play a variety of shots around the green.
Do you find the distance between a full shot 50 and 56 is too big or does it work for you?

RE: Ideal gapping

Lou G — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 00:49:54 GMT

I tossed the 46-10 because it got 10 yards less vs the 44F Wedgeworks. Not counting the 44F (which I have set up at 9 iron loft of 42*), my lofts are 50-54-57-60-64. 57 is a 58-12D. The 50 loft is a 52-12F. The 54 loft is a 56-14F. 60 is a 60-06K. For a carry bag, I would simply pull the 56-14F and the low bounce K. I use the 50* loft quite a bit.

All of my wedges are SM p Vokeys. I went with 50,52,56 and 58. Use the 58 mostly around the green. Took me a little time to get used to the 50,but i really like it now.

RE: Ideal gapping

Lou G — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 04:14:16 GMT

Wedge gapping is pretty "traditional"

I'm using a Wedgeworks 44F (42*) in place of the 9 iron.

46-52-56-60-64 for PW-XW. I like 8* bounce on the 44F and 48-10F so those are 2* strong. The 58-14K works better with 12* bounce. 52-12F for gap, 60-06K for LW. www.titleist.com/.../m52cisgtz8naki7w3zfl

I’ve changed my gapping a lot but sat few years found that 48-54-60 works best for me

[quote user="Justin V"]How did you get a 44?

[/quote]

Take a 46-10F and bend it 2* strong.

RE: Ideal gapping

Lou G — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 12:23:03 GMT

[quote user="Lou G"]So I thought for 58-12D. I threw a couple balls in 8" of grass and the 56-14F cut through it like a sickle. The 58-12D did OK but not quite as consistent. I returned the D grind and got a 52-12D (that I set to 50) to tighten things up a little bit.. 46-50-54-60-64. I set the lie angle of the 52-12F to 65. Properly "gaped" (sic). On one course, 50* loft works well.

Very first shot with the 52-12F. I also found out I hit the 913F 19 fairway much better than the GT2 21 so I returned the latter and got a 58-14K (which I set to 57*). I played 58-14K for almost 4 years before dinkering with it, V and D grind at 56-58* loft. www.titleist.com/.../kodgzpedvh3jtx1llgml www.titleist.com/.../gamvkw5akqn0kjkvuogd www.titleist.com/.../zqnktsdenbhix2oovoyt

46-50-54-60-64. I have the PW, GW & SW 2* strong because of the bounce. My 8 iron is 40* (620CB). In reserve, I have a 58-14K. The 52-12F is pretty deadly. I carried 50* loft up until 2020 (50-08F). www.titleist.com/.../kodgzpedvh3jtx1llgml www.titleist.com/.../gamvkw5akqn0kjkvuogd

56 best option

RE: Ideal gapping

Chuck Zirkle — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:55:28 GMT

Partial wedge shots are difficult to control even for the best players in the world. Most players benefit from carrying four wedges, which leads to tighter distance gaps and more full swings. Vokey recommends 4° - 6° of loft separation between your wedges, resulting in 10-15 yards
