I am a high handicapper, however I practice 2 hours a day in my backyard with pitch shots and have become pretty good at that. I wanted to know what wedge setup I should go with. I currently only carry a Pw that comes with my irons and a cleveland cg10 sand wedge. What else should I go with?

I would suggest a 50 degree gap wedge. The pitching wedge in your iron set is a very strong 45 degrees . That's a huge gap to have when you get within a 100 yds or so. Personally, my gap wedge is my go to club around the green. Only times I use my sand or lob wedge is for flop shots that are absolutely neccesary.

At this stage of the game, filling that 11 degree gap would make more of an impact than anything else. Eleven degrees is the equivalent almost 3 clubs so a 50 would do nicely. I wouldn't even bother with a lob wedge until you get some experience with your 56 and really learn how to use it.
