Wedge Gapping

Wedge gapping is the loft, bounce and grind arrangement covering the shortest full swings and the scoring range.

01 / Why it matters

Most approach shots inside full-swing distance are decided here, so spacing and versatility matter.

02 / Performance impact

Wedge lofts must connect cleanly to the pitching wedge of the iron set, which varies widely between models.

03 / Common misconception

Four-degree gaps are a convention, not a rule.

04 / How TruePath considers it

Wedge lofts are chosen from the actual set pitching wedge and the golfer's carry distances and conditions.
