New iron set is Ping G700 with last wedge at 49 degrees.  Current wedges are Cleveland RTX4 56 and 60 degrees.  Thinking 49, 54, 60 would be better.  Get an RTX4 in 54?  CBX2 in 54? Something else l8ke a Ping Glide 3.0 in 54?

I don't know if 53 degree wedges are still readily available, but my PW is 49 degrees and I play a 53 and a 58 degree for gapping. 54 58 or 54 60 should be ok too. It really comes down to personal preference. I hardly use my 58 as is, and if it were 60 I don't know if it would ever come out of the bag. Definitely understand if you don't want to buy 2 wedges though. Good luck with whatever you choose.

The number on the wedge is irrelevant. What distance do you get from 49, 56 & 60?

Yeah, your trying to fill gaps and think of what you’re using them for... especially that 54/56 spot.  Personally I have a 56 and 60 so I have 2 sand options.  A 54 out of the sand doesn’t give me the proper sole.

My PW is 44*, the GW that came with the set was a 49* but I didn't like it that much so I replaced it with a CBX 52*, much better. I know I have a gap from my PW at 44* and GW at 52* but it doesn't bother me, I just adjust my swing. My SW is a 56*. As said above I think a lot has to do with your personal choice, what feels good for you. I do not carry a LW.

I picked up a 52 degree RTX4 gently used today for an excellent price.  I will take the 49, 52, 56 and 60 wedges out to figure out distances on full shots and go from there.

If you have to eliminate one of these to make a legal bag, I wound suggest getting rid of the 60, regardless of the distances you find. You should be able to play all sand shots and close shots where you need to get it up and down quick with the 56. 60 degrees are best left to lowcappers and pros.

Get rid of the 60. Very hard to hit those things well. I got one for free in September, but replaced it with a 58 within a few months, for two reasons. First, my coach absolutely hates 60 degree wedges, but is fine with a 58. The second and bigger reason is that my short game has improved drastically. I am much more consistent with the 58. My PW, GW, SW and LW are now 45, 50, 54 and 58 degrees respectively, but I alternate between the 54 and 58.

How would someone else's model preference relate to your game?

You have to try whatever you can and choose what you like.

Amen! Too subjective. Gotta go with what you have experienced. Example: My 7 iron. 33 degree loft. For me 150-160 yds all day. Now, my 5 hybrid, 28 degree loft. If I choke down slightly, tee the ball up (tee box only) I can cover 160 - 170 yds. Off the deck, 180 yds. Just gotta learn your clubs, a few variations.

    • I can see a point in this.  If you play a straigth 3 footer with a square face aiming at the hole, you can miss both ways, with a close face or an open one. If you aim rigth an close the face at impact (like tiger used to do), physically you can still miss left or rigth but mentally you are only missing left (closed face) and having only 1 miss can give you a boost in confidence. I putt this way on fade putts and aim left and open the face on draw putts, never liked the uncerteinty of putting square to the target.  I apply something like this on approach shots, only use low or high shots and for middle shots I use a low shot with more loft ot a high shot with less loft. This shots are always what they meat low or high, a middle one can go a little towards the high and the low depending on the AoA of each shot making it mentally a little more uncertain what is going to be.  
    • Yeah, I'm not sure if he is genuine or not either but that's not why I'm giving him props.  
    • I really liked this videos.    I wonder about how to effitiently apply force to the handle of the club on the downswing.  Me personally used to apply force to the grip in the direction off the ball. I had a very steep angle of attack with my hands to the ball.  After looking at this videos I started to apply force downwards in the beginning of the backswing and then towards the flag/target when I was about to hit the ball.  After looking at pro players, they all start to lift their hands before hitting the ball. I don't know if it is because of pushing with their left leg up or because they apply force upwards to the grip when they reach the ball, or something else?   
    • I'm pro BDC because of his scientific approach to golf, but I don't think he is been genuine since he started youtube and had this goal to be liked by all.    Congrats to scotty, yes is boring to watch a major when only 1 player is in contention, but the man is crushing it, he is making it look easy despite playing against the elite of golf.  
    • Sure, anything recent though (like in the last year or two) or are we sentencing him for life with no possibility of parole?
