Just purchased a combo set (150’s & 200’s) 200’s PW is 44°. Which is a bit of a gap between my 50° gap wedge. Wondered what set-up others have gone for?

Without going to a wedge fitting, I would wait a few rounds and see how it all fits together. It depends a lot on what you are looking for, your abilities, and what irons your playing. Latest technology has game improvement irons hitting the ball higher and longer, so they lowered the loft. Pitching wedges used to be 48 degree, but now they are running 43 or 44 degree, so the 4 degree rule isn't a sure thing. I still play the 718 AP1 pitching wedge and have Vokey 48, 52, & 56 degree wedges. In hindsight I think it would better fit my game with the 50, 54, & 58 wedges. But then again, my golf buddies tell me there is no way in heck any of them would want my game.

Why not go 48,52,56,60… depending on your set make up you may be able to get rid of a club at the other end of the bag

Pros carry 2-5 wedges, based on their experience. The 4 degree rule is only a starting point. Besides getting out of bunkers, they need to fill distance gaps and allow enough creativity around greens. If you have distances you can’t easily cover by choking down on the P and can’t cover with the 50 degree wedge, then you may need a 48 wedge or the set gap iron. That depends on how you use a gap club. No one right solution. I would suggest not adjusting the loft on a wedge by more than 1 degree. That changes the bounce that may effect what you expert from that wedge.

For those that diligently work on the wedges, a 6-degree gap isn't a major problem, if you can properly hit 1/2 and 3/4 spacing shots with your wedges, you'll be fine. Takes a little effort, but you don't have to re-equip your whole setup to close a small gap.

Update is 60-04T stock and 58-12D bent to 56. Reserves are 58-14K and 58-08M bent to 56 for unknown courses
