Nick and I discussed it a bit, and it sounds to us like you may want to try two wedges with the same loft but different bounces and rotate them depending on the conditions. Try a <a href="http://www.titleist.com/golfclubs/wedges/vokey200series.asp" rel="nofollow">260.08</a> when it's gushy and <a href="http://www.titleist.com/golfclubs/wedges/vokey200series.asp" rel="nofollow">260.04</a> when it's firm. -- Voke (and Nick) Hi Eric-

Try a 260.08 when it’s gushy and 260.04 when it’s firm.

I recommend a 4°-6° gap between wedges, and your current gap between your pitching and sand wedges is 9°. I also recommend visiting an <a href="http://www.fittingworks.com/FindaFitter.aspx" rel="nofollow">Authorized Titleist FittingWorks Partner</a> for a complete wedge fitting to ensure that all of your wedge specs (loft, lie, length, etc.) are correct.

I have become used to them so I really don't want to weaken them or anything. I was wanting to know if you can give me any advice on what wedge lofts would be best to put in the bag to help cover the gaps. My PW loft is 45° and I currently play with 54° & 58° Spin Milled. Mr. Vokey, your input would be greatly appreciated since you are the wedge king.

Fitting is obviously helpful in getting the most out of one's swing. Thank you & congrats to Nick for his first Tour victory. The insight into the bags of the touring pro is especially helpful.

I think we just assumed it must have been bent open where the effective loft was much lower than 11.5°. Also, 44½" on the driver and -¼" on the irons seems a bit strange for a tall guy (isn't Nick 6'2"?). Guess it just goes to show that everyone's different and should be fitted accordingly!
