Wedge Fitting, Part 1: Distance Gapping — Set Wedge or Vokey at 48°?

Every wedge fitting has to start somewhere, and for us it starts with the gap wedge. It's the club that bridges the irons to the scoring clubs, and it raises a question plenty of golfers never think to ask: should it take on the look of the set (in my case, Titleist T150 irons), or is the same loft in a Vokey wedge more effective? There are real advantages to going the Vokey route, from turf interaction to a CG that can be moved higher in the head to produce the more penetrating ball flight that low handicaps and professional golfers like in their wedges.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part wedge fitting series. We'll work through the whole bottom of the bag one decision at a time, and that begins with distance gapping.
