    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!

    Consider using the same shaft in the gap wedge as your T150 irons. Changing the loft on the T100 by 2 degrees also changes the bounce by 2 degrees and the resulting turf interaction may not work out the same way

    Vokey gap wedges are more forgiving than T100. Larger head, easier to hit IMO. I'd stick with Vokey 52/56/60, but make sure you get fit correctly for shaft, length, like and most importantly, bounce / grind.

    I play the T150 irons and have them all bent 1 degree weak. My Vokey wedges are 50/54/58. Last year I swapped my Vokey 50 for a T100 gap wedge. Pretty sure I didn't adjust the loft of it. I've actually found it to be more forgiving and confidence-inspiring than the Vokey. It also depends how you use your gap wedge. I really only use mine for full shots.

    Like someone else said, the vokeys are more forgiving and will feel a little hotter than the t100, at least that’s how my set plays. You’ll just need to get fit and bend the lofts to tweak the gaps. For full swing clubs, i prefer to bend down when possible so not increase bounce too much.

    In my experience, no way the Vokey's are MORE forgiving than the T100. T100 is a cavity back blade - definitely larger sweet spot than the Vokey. I play the T100 Gap - really only hit for full shots, then go to 54 and 60 Vokey for the finesse stuff. All things being equal between a Set Gap and a Vokey - besides the Set being more forgiving, it should be longer (due to bit of extra tech) and fly a bit higher. They Vokey will fly lower.
