Loft Question

[Jack™]

I'm looking to fill the gap between my PW and my 56* Sand Wedge. I have
the Taylormade r540 XD irons. Does anyone know the loft of the PW in
that set?

TM PW's are usually 45 degree - maybe
the 'XD' means its a degree or so
stronger? A pro shop can tell you in a
minute.

According to TaylorMade, in their 2004 handout catalog, "XD stands for
extra distance and is a process that TaylorMade engineers created to
enhance the performance elements of a metalwood to make it more
powerful."

The catalog does not include XD in their lineup of irons. The irons
listed are rac CB, rac CB/MB, rac HT, rac OS, rac LT. and rac CGB. Loft
specs are not listed.

Take it to to a pro or clubmaker, and ask him to measure it. My guess
is 44 degrees,
so you'd want a 50 to 52 degree gap wedge.

Thanks to everyone for their help. I'm going to look into a 52* wedge.
Wish me luck getting a good deal!
