Although I have a rather unusual setup, my wedge gaps are 44-50-56-60-64. I'm playing a 46-10 at 44* so I use it in place of a 9 iron. It wouldn't be insane to follow the 4* rule with 44-48-52-56-60-64. If you want to be "traditional", with 52-56-and 60, then probably 52-08F, 56-08M and 60-10S. Best idea is to have a fitting on the wedges. I have 56-08M for the SW, 60-14K for the LW and a PM grind 64/10 for the XW. The 60-14K is surprising; I can hit it off firm sand or tight lies with the ball back. The other possibility is 52-08F, 56-14F, 60-08M. Have you ever thought about 62-08M? If you want a simpler wedge setup, 50-56-62. I've played 48-54-10S and 60L before.

I've also been playing AP3 with the 48* since the beginning of 2019. I look at the 48* as a pitching wedge as it was close to the CB I had prior.

At first, I thought I would have to change all wedges, but the stock full shot distance gap between the 48* and my SM6 50.08F is just fine for now at 8 yards, and I'm okay with that.

The AP3 has N.S. Pro MODUS3 Tour105 (fitted)
The SM6 has TrueTemper XP95 R300 (fitted)

In addition, with the upcoming SM8 in just a few months, I may be changing to N.S. Pro MODUS3 Wedge shaft that can pair up beautifully at same 105 weight for the SM8. I have hit this shaft only a few times but it was something much closer to what I was looking for, although my lofts may be changing with the new shaft... I'll see a fitter when it gets closer.

Hiya!!

Thanks for the replies!!

After finishing the fitting process on the irons (over 2 days after work...and that was amazingly fun and educational) my fitter suggested I go with the 5 wedge set-up as my 4 and 5 irons got a little erratic due to the shaft not being heavy enough in those two clubs. The 5 will stay in the bag, but an AMT White is going in rather than the black, allowing for the 5 wedge set.

In the fitting, my 5, 6 and 7 were adjusted to be 2* weak, and the 8 - PW to 1* weak. This set up the 8 on down as a 4* increment, and said take that through to the lob wedge. So...it will be a 52, 56 and 60. He also suggested keeping the same bounce I had with my old wedges (50.08, 54.10 bent 1* weak, and 60.08), as the courses here in Minnesota I am primarily on are not very soft. I picked up the SM7 56.10 which has the S-grind, so I will be curious how that will be as my old wedges (no grinds on them at all, so all basically F-grind). The 52.08 if I can find a gently used one will be F-grind by design only.

I do have thoughts of adding higher bounce to the sand and lob for softer sand/courses, so with that in mind, what have you found with the 56.14 (F-grind) and a 60.12 (D-grind). Any real noticable differences when you adjust your club usage by bounce based on grind?

Thanks

Playing the 718 AP1's and have 5 "wedges" as well. The stock PW plays at 43* then the stock GW at 48*. Purchased a SM7 52*, 56*, 60*. I believe that have more options in the scoring club range is a better option than many other bags that I see that have several long clubs that most hit almost the same distance.
