It does not necessarily have to do with your handicap. I has to do with what yardage you want out of your wedges and how many you want to carry. My 716 AP1 PW 43*, W 47*, SM6 51.9*, SM6 56.14*.

Before I went with the W wedge I had a 50.10, which game me the 7* and 6* gaps. With that addition, I now have the 4*, and 5*.

Go see a fitter, then go see a pro who can help you with your distances and practice. Go will be a lot more fun if you do and that handicap will come down.

Thanks for the info Chuck !!

Andy,

Four degree wedge gaping is very common among golfers of all handicaps.

Thanks for the info !

I game 52 56 60 SM6

With PW at 43-45 degrees, the old 52-56-60 leaves a gap to the gap wedge. Besides degree gaps, it is also how you use them - full shots or mostly for pitches/chips? Then getting into soil and bunker conditions for the grind. I got fit as well with AP1s, and have P-48F-54S (set to 53) and a 58-8. Graphite matching the AP1s, and NP-95 steel for the 53/58 since I use the last 2 for partial swings and like the feel. I never thought fitting of wedges mattered, but it does.

Just piggy backing the group , 4 degrees is about right no matter your hanicap..I'm a 45°pw AP2 ..SM5 49° SM4 53° SM5 56°. .Go get fit ,, can't go wrong TITLEIST THURSDAYS

There is some good information on this site especially in the SM6 section which give some good suggestions. 4 degrees should give you a gap of around 12 yards with 6 degrees being closer to 18. You need to find out what loft your wedge is, then you can select what is possible. if you struggle with distance control go 4 degrees, you may need 2 clubs to fill the gap to do this.
