zap311 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Check out this thread for several responses on this. My setup is T150 PW 44*, T150 GW 49* (1 weak), SW 54*, LW 58* and I've had no issues with gapping.

KevCannon Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 A lot of us have tried a bunch of combinations with all generations of t100-s, and now the t150’s. I still game the t100-s irons, and after some trial and error, I ended up bending the pitching wedge 1 degree weak (so 45*), a 50 degree gap wedge (vokey), 54* sand wedge bent to 55 degrees. Gapping issue solved, and have developed a good comfort level with the 5* gaps. Note - I did try the t100-s 48* gap wedge and it was just too hot even bent 1-2* weak. Didn’t have the amount of control i was used to with gw. 1 Quote Callaway Rogue ST MaxLS 9* /Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6x Callaway Epic Flash sz 15* /Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7s Titleist Tsi2 hybrid 18* /GD Tour AD IZ 85x Titleist T-100-s 4-PW /PX Lz 6.0 Titleist SM10 50f, 54s, 60s /PX Lz 6.0 Bettinardi BBzero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llortamaisey Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 30 years ago the typical eight iron set had the longest iron around 21° and the shortest iron was 48°. Guys that wanted to play a 5 wood or hybrid would use two wedges and the guys who didn’t would use three wedges. The lofts haven’t changed, just the number on the bottom of the club. Just gotta figure out which end of the bag needs more help for your game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARSM1932 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 1 hour ago, RCGA said: Vokey 48 is the answer for the better player I would say that a 46 degree Vokey would be much better than a 48 for even distance gapping, a friend of mine plays the T150 in 4-GW and when I hit them even the PW and GW go too far as they are much hotter than bladed wedges so this created too big a distance gap to a 48 degree Vokey, therefore a PW (44) then 46, 52 & 58 Vokeys would be the optimum solution in my opinion to integrate with a set PW at 44 degrees.

kevster1 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 T150 player and after trying different combos settled on Vokey 50* as gap (shafted exact same as iron set), 56* and then 60* in the SM10 standard wedge flex. T150 set gap wedge was just too hot for me. For me, the SM10 changes over SM9 moved me from 54* 58* to 56* 60* in order to hit my numbers due to lower trajectory and more spin so try not to get too hung up on the number on the bottom, play what gap outs correctly for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wedge setup works great for me. Gapping goes from 150 to 70. I carry them because I don't like half swings. 5-9 iron cover 210-160. Ping iCrossover 2 iron goes 235. I play 6000-6500 yard tees for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that went the T150 route, how did you space out your set? My recommendation is to always hit the club first and see how far it flys compared to how far your next club is. We are talking at 2-4 yards of carry per degree of loft for most players. Getting wrapped around the axel on on 4-5 degrees of gapping between pw and your next wedge is silly till you hit both clubs, on the same day, under the same conditions and see what the real gap is…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnus7319 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I have other clubs I can sub into the set depending on the course. Typically I carry the t150 48 because it launches much higher than a like lofted Vokey. Once again, depending on course, I might sub in a 46, 48, 50, 52, etc... if it's windy, firm, soft, etc... As mentioned above, you might want to try the t150 48 and then a 46 or 48 or 50 specialty wedge to see how they gap for you. Sometimes just going by the loft doesn't automatically mean it will/won't work for you. Quote Some flavor of the month driver. Some driving iron for Links courses. A hybrid to save my bad shots. Titleist blades when I feel lucky otherwise something more forgiving. A Vokey wedge or 2. I hate every one of my 17 putters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also what i did ----I might recommend going 48-52-60 depending on preference also. The 48 degree set wedge will be a lot hotter than a blade wedge , so you can also go 52 for a smaller gap Quote Cobra DS-Adapt Max K / UST Linq Blue Cobra DS-Adapt X / UST Linq Blue TM DHY 18 / Riptide 80 TM 770/CB combo set 4-PW w/ DG Mid 115 TM Raw Hi-Toe4 52/56/60 DG Mid 115 Deschamps Scalpel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnes44 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 T150 gap at 48⁰. Bend T100 gap two weak to 52⁰ as a gap, gap wedge. Keeps iron aesthetics, adds a little bounce and offers a little more help than a vokey for a full swing club. Then 56 and 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelergj2003 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 4 T200/5-PW T150. Wedge complicated things for me also. Decided to go 48-52-56 to keep 4 degrees of gapping and dropped the 60. I never used it much anyway but there are times I miss having a 60. Thought about dropping the 4 but I love my 4 iron for longer iron shots and laying up on par 5's. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POKeefe Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 PW (43*) - 131 48* - 118 53* - 104 58* - 90 It gaps well for me, personally. I'd bet this would work well: T150 (44*), Vokey (48*, 52 or 54*, 58 or 60*). Realistically, most shots with less than a 48 should be feel shots anyway.

knock it close Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I've played off a 48* pw for a decade prior to getting the t150's so it was easy for me. I play 48, 53, 59. The biggest issue is the 125-130 yardage for me, mainly just would like a little more spin, might switch to a vokey 48* but I like the set 48 on full shots.

GeauxGolfLSU Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I've got the T150 5 iron through 48° wedge. From there, I go 52° and 58°, although depending on the course, I may take a club out of the top of the bag and go 56° and 60° in place of the 58°. I'm very comfortable hitting my 52° anywhere from 115 to 90 yards, so it is very versatile, which means I don't have much of a gap between that and a sand/lob wedge. The T150 48° is basically an 11 iron for me. 2 Quote Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke ♦♦♦ Max 10.5° Ventus Velocore Black 6X Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Mini Driver 13.5° Ventus Velocore Blue 6X Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke ♦♦♦ 20° Ventus Velocore TR Red 7X Callaway Elyte 5-AW True Temper Vector 90 S Callaway Opus 50-10S (@ 51), 56-14W, 60-08C DG Wedge Flex Scotty Cameron California Del Mar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgyman Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 With my T150s I did 50, 55 (56 bent weak 1 deg) 60. I thought I'd have more gapping issues, but TBH I started hitting a 3/4 PW for gapping, and then found I could hit any shot I really wanted. Or at least within my level.

I guess my point was that setup will likely still work, but you won’t know for sure until you hit the new 44 degree club. you could bend the 44 one degree weak to 45 and and have 5, 6, 4 degree gapping which makes sense.

If you bend them weak, you lose that ballspeed advantage they have, so end up with a higher launching t100, but not really more forgiving unless you are super low launch player.

Dan Drake Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I play off a 44 degree 9i. The numbers on the club don’t mean as much as the job(s) you are asking them to do. I go 44, 49, 54, 59, 64. Works for how I play my partial wedges as well as pitch shots (59) and bunker shots (64). So, I have a true Sand wedge and Pitching wedge, just like the old names were.
