Hi All –
I am currently in the market for new irons and have landed on the T150s (5 iron – 48 degree gap wedge). Based on the T150 lofts, I plan on continuing the 4 degree loft increments with a 52-56-60 degree wedge set up.
As an 11 handicap, I am a decent ball striker however I lose a lot of confidence when I move from my current set gap wedge (PXG 0311T) to my first Vokey wedge for full shots. In my new set, I am considering subbing out the 52 degree Vokey wedge with the T100 gap wedge (50 degrees) weakened to 52 degrees. This would give me T150 (5 iron – 48 degree gap), T100 52 degree gap, 56 & 60 degree Vokey. I currently have a pretty basic short game arsenal and almost always either chip with my 56 degree or play a toe up bump and run with my 9 iron. As such, my 52 degree wedge is currently only a full shot club, and the versatility that comes with a Vokey is not as important to me in this loft.
Are there any unintended consequences of this plan? Would weakening the T100 by 2 degrees cause any significant issues for full shots? Kind of strange to carry two “gap” wedges, but the way these irons are lofted these days creates some strange gaps.
FYI I plan to get fit in the coming weeks. Just wanted to make sure this wasn’t a crazy plan before mentioning it to the fitter.
Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks!
