Good Wedge below the pitching wedge?

Question

I need a club that will give me more loft than my pitching wedge I carry it too long usually...i have callaway x-tour irons any suggestions on the club?

Answer 1

Gap wedge or sand wedge....it all depends on the distance and green slopes etc.

Answer 2

The most common club carried bellow he pitching wedge is a sand wedge.  I own a CG12 Sandwedge which i use about 1o times a round.  This is the best investment i have made in a golf club as it has helped me lower my score.  I also own a Titleist Vokey Wedge and I prefer the Cleveland CG12.

Answer 3

i would say a 52 degree gap wedge. that can be used for shots that are too long for a sand wedge but too short for a pitching wedge. i would suggest a cleveland cg14 with zip grooves to get the ball to spin.

Answer 4

There is an article by Butch Harmon on the proper selection of wedges in the August issue of Golf Digest. He suggests that there should be a graduated loft difference in the set of no more than 5 to 6 degrees between  clubs. You will be hitting most wedge shots with less than a full swing so develop quarter, half, three-quarters and full swings with each wedge. .The logical clubs are the pitching wedge which you have most likely 48 degrees so add a 54 gap  and the sand wedge. The all purpose sand wedge is a great addition.

Answer 5

Pitching Wedge 45*-49*       about 140-120yrds

Gap Wedge 49*-54*                      135-115yrs

Sand Wedge 54*-57*                     120-100yrds

Lob Wedge 57*-64*                        100yds less
