After the gap wedge (GW, 49°): with a 56° sand wedge, the gap is 7°, just over the 4° to 6° step; a wedge in between would leave two steps under 4°.

Callaway's iron fitting guide puts your first wedge 4° to 6° above the highest-lofted wedge in your iron set. A gap in degrees is not a gap in yards. To choose that wedge, see the forgiving wedges by loft and bounce.

Build a whole bag around it, or check the lofts in the bag you carry.

Use the iron finder to compare sets for your usual miss, and check the set makeup and loft gaps before ordering.

How the 2.0 adds up

The forgiveness score is our reading of what Cobra publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.

The parts of the forgiveness score
PartPointsWhy
Head class 2 Players distance: a compact head that forgives a little.
Offset +0 2.7 mm at the 7-iron, below our 4.5 mm mark.
Sole +0 Cobra doesn't publish a sole width, so the sole earns no point.
Forgiveness score2.0of 5

The score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is. Cobra does not publish a sole width or its shaft names.
