SW 56° 65° 34.5 in 2.1 mm

After the gap wedge (GW, 50°): with a 56° sand wedge, the gap is 6°.

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.

Use the iron finder to compare sets for your usual miss, and check the set makeup and loft gaps before ordering. Between a game improvement and a super game improvement head, this is how to tell which one your strike needs.

How the 4.5 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 score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is.
