What's everyone's favorite gap wedge?

[Vinsanity23]

Cleveland CG16 2 dot from '10 I believe. Only GW on the planet I seem to be able to hit well in all scenarios, and fell into it by total accident. To be fair, I ask my GW to do a lot only carrying 3 wedges, but for some reason this old, ugly, CB wedge is the only thing that does what I want. I tried all the major OEMS (MG1, RTX, Mizzys, Vokeys) and could not get what I was looking for. Found the unicorn and then went and bought as many as I could find on eBay so I don't have to worry for years.

I have been gaming the 50 Vokey.  It's solid for full, 3/4, and 1/2 swings.  Ball checks up very nicely.

I have played it both ways, depends on design of the wedge.

 

(Currently I have a 48* MD3: splits the difference between a 46* PW and a 50* GW)

 

Common advice on gap wedge type: If you use your GW primarily as an "11-iron" for full shots, go with the set wedge. If you also hit a lot of partials with it, match it to your SW and LW.

Currently playing a Vokey 52* gap wedge which is my 100-110 yd club, but thinking of either bending it to 51* or replacing it with a 50* gap wedge to overlap a little more with my PW (46*) which plays 125-135 yds.

I’m high on my TM MG2 50*.  When the raw face rusts to its full potential it really unlocks the power to the club.  Pretty crazy.

The set GW in my Callaway Steelhead XRs is amazing. 49*. I've never hit a club so well, either separate or set. I've been intending to get it measured to see if it's bent differently, I hit it so well.

For me it is the MD 4 50 degree.  I use it for some chipping as well as full shots.

Was titleist vokey for the longest time until Cleveland came out with the ZipCore wedge... it is awesome and feels great. I play to about a +1 to 1 handicap throughout the year for context.

PXG 0211 50* GW - Full swing, 3/4 swing, chip, pitch ... haven't tried it out of a bunker yet (CBX 54* wedge owns that job).

I have a non-set 50* Gap wedge to cover the 115-125 gap.

Ping Glide 3.0 50* with Ping G400 irons for me. Hard greens at my home course meant I had to play for significant roll out. Now I’m able to attack more pins when the opportunity presents.

The Ping Tour W 52.10 (bent to 51) was the best GW I've used.  First fitted wedge for me as well.  Chipping and pitching from 50 and in was pretty automatic and resulted in plenty of hole-outs.  On a full swing, I consistently had exceptional proximity to the hole (~10' or less)  Had to retire it and a Scratch GW because of the non-conforming grooves.  I've since moved onto the T20 50.07 because of the extra spin and hitting the number with very little deviation.  I'm not a fan of set wedges, but if it fits you why not use one?

I got i210 set gap wedge has been just ok. Tweener yardage not so good. Glide 3.0 is next move.

I might be a little different but I play the one with my set, Ping iE3 U wedge and also play a Cleveland RTX 2.0 CB 52 degree. The matched set gap wedge is for 125 and the RTX is for 115. I was told by the guy that fit me for my Ping's that Cleveland wedges are really 2 degrees week. He showed me on his loft machine that my 56 is really 58 degrees. Not sure if his machine was off or if anyone else has ever heard of this.
