I currently carry two wedges (besides the 45 deg pw in my set), I have a vokey 52 and 60. I have room in my bag right now for an extra club.

I hit my 52 about 145 yds, and my 60 at about 110 yds. I have a pretty big drive, so with the shorter courses in my area (around 6700-6800 yds from tips) I'm wondering if I would be better suited to have a club that I hit around 80 yds with a full swing, or 130 yds.

If you were in my situation, would you bend the 60 to a 58 and get a 64 deg wedge, or get a 56 and bend the 60 to a 62?

Holy chit Batman, a 145 yard 52* wedge? 110 yard 60...

But at any rate, I'd pick up a 56* wedge and have a nice club to fill in the gap, maybe for (gasp) 125 yarders.

Personaly I keep 4* between wedges. So a 52, 56, 60 would be a great combo for me.

Do you hit your PW 195? lol jk, I can hit my 56 like 150 if i blade the ball :)

I agree totally. A set of 52, 56, and 60 is perfect to me. Covers lots of ground.

Ha! I've stopped wondering if i'm doing something wrong at this point and just go with it. I get really high ball flight and it checks up, so I guess I just hit them really long. I hit my PW 160 though....not quite 195.

the 4* thing is the rule I was thinking of going with, that just leaves me with a lot of half-club shots for under 100 yds that I need to keep working on.
