Hey guys, I currently only have my Taylormade R9 46* PW. and am in the market for other wedges. Typically how many wedges including the Pitching wedge should one carry ?  I've also read that you should get the wedges 4* apart to have a good variety of loft.

I saw these also, is this a good price / brand ? Also if i do get these, I would have a total of 4 wedges, would that be too much ?

I am working up the courage to swap out my 52 and 56 for a 54 58 vokey set up but just am having trouble justifying the 300 bucks.

Currently I carry a 46° 51° (52° sits in my bag but is useless) and a 56°.  As mentioned above ideally once I get the money I will be changing to a 46° 52° 54° (56 maybe for chipping because I'm familure with it) and 58°.  As for the Adams wedges I have heard very good things about them and if they are at a good price you can't go wrong.

Driver: RBZ 9.5° Stiff

Woods: :nike:VR_S Tour 2.0 15° Stiff

Hybrids:  910H 21° Stiff

Irons: 4-GW Pro Black CB1 with Project X rifle 6.0

Wedges:CC Jaws 56°.14° 60°.08°

Putter: Classic 1

Ball:  Z-Star XV Pure White

I, like you, just decided it was time to upgrade/start carrying additional wedges.  My current make up is a PW/AW/SW/Lob Wedge.  I walked into the store, mind made up that I was buying either a vokey or cleveland wedge and when I asked the salesman which he would reccomened he said neither and pointed me in the direction of the Mizuno MP T-11. I was skeptical, but he brought me to their launch monitor/video flight path simulator, and 30 min later I was sold. I hit all three clubs for about 10 min a piece and my personal preference ended up being the Mizuno.  Now, you might not feel the same way about it as I did, but it was the least expensive of the three and felt the best when I was hitting it.  I ended up buying the 60 degree wedge and may go back to replace my snd wedge.

Best bang for the buck I know if is the Wilson Staff wedges - can find them sometimes for $29 online.     I would start with a gap wedge (50 or 52 degree) and a sand wedge (54 or 56 degree).      Pick up a lob wedge later as you become more proficient - it's not an easy club to master. http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Staff-Milled-Black-Degree/dp/B001PR0ADO http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Staff-Milled-Black-Degree/dp/B001PR0ADO

They are certainly visually appealing and you can't beat the price.

Delayed response: I bought these and they have worked quite well for me. They are a bit on the heavy side, but that works out well when trying to get through thick stuff.....Downside is that I hightly doubt the grooves are conforming, so you'll probably want to avoid them if you're planning on playing any competitive rounds.
