That said, it would seem you're trying to "match" your set. You'd be limiting yourself that way. Adams may make great hybrids, but I wouldn't give them that credit on wedges. You can easily get yourself a nice Cleveland, Vokey, or any number of other wedges on sale.

Given your wedges, 60 degree for sure. I don't think there's much point on a gap wedge at 52 for you - you're already at 54. Personally I like my wedges at 52, 56, 60 for a nice spread in lofts.
The a3OS Gap Wedge is 49 degrees.

If I had all the Adams a3OS wedges in my bag, the lofts would be the following:

Pitching Wedge - 44 degrees
Gap Wedge - 49 degrees
Sand Wedge - 54 degrees
Lob Wedge - 59 degrees


One thing about having a matched set is that they all "feel" the same. I think thats especially important when playing with wedges. My old set had a matching pitching wedge and sand wedge but the lob wedge was a different brand (actually I preferred the way the lob wedge felt over the PW and SW).

It nice when all 4 wedge clubs feel the same (that is if you like the "feel" )
