Left-Handed Gap Wedge for Men

This TaylorMade SIM Max gap wedge is built for left-handed male golfers who want a 49-degree loft with standard bounce. The regular-flex KBS Max 85 steel shaft provides a consistent feel through the swing. The Lamkin Crossline 360 grip adds traction in varying weather conditions. It fits directly into a standard-length iron set without altering spacing.

KBS Max 85 Shaft and Crossline 360 Grip

The 85-gram steel shaft is designed to promote a higher launch while maintaining control for mid-handicap players. The regular flex suits moderate swing speeds without requiring a custom fitting session. The Crossline 360 grip uses a distinctive pattern that resists twisting in humid conditions. Together they deliver a repeatable release through impact.

Standard Length Simplifies Installation

Because the club is assembled to standard length, it slots into an existing set without re-shafting or length adjustments. The left-handed specification must match the player's dexterity; right-handed golfers cannot use this model. No additional tools are needed beyond a standard wrench for loft or lie tweaks if desired. Verify the 49-degree loft does not duplicate an existing wedge in the bag.

Questions about this item

When should the Lamkin Crossline 360 grip on this TaylorMade SIM Max Gap Wedge be replaced?

Replace the grip when the surface feels slick or shows visible wear from regular play.

What limits spin performance on this 49° Gap Wedge during extended practice sessions?

The standard bounce angle and KBS Max 85 steel shaft design set the primary spin ceiling for this wedge.

How does the KBS Max 85 steel shaft feel after hours of continuous swings?

The 85 g steel shaft transmits more vibration to the hands than graphite, so fatigue builds faster during all-day sessions.
