A couple questions about wedges

[proff49]

I have a set of Taylormade Burner plus irons and the pw is only 45*. This leaves an 11* gap between my pw and sw. What wedges should I get to fill this gap. I don't hit a 60* very well at all so I don't want to go any higher than 58*.

Also, what is the difference between a cnc milled face and one that isn't? I really like the Bridgestone west coast design wedges. The liquid copper model has a milled face but the satin doesn't. The price for both is the same so I was wondering if one is better than the other. I've played the liquid coppers (hit them really good) but not the satin.

Your PW seems pretty strong. I would maybe start by getting that weakened a couple of degrees. You can get a gap/approach wedge (different companies call them different names). They run around 52*, so that's 7* off your current PW and 4* off the SW. I think 4* is a good spread and that's about where I am.

+1 for the 52* gap/approach wedge

Weakening the pw a couple degrees would be better than strengthing the g/a couple?

In this case yes, because your PW is so strong, mine is the same way i think, I guess that's why i can hit it 150 if i hit it good, its really like a 9 iron. Anyway yeah get that to like 46, then get a 52 and 56 and youll be all good.

I would suggest going with a 50*, 54* and 58* if you want PW+3 wedges, and if you only want PW+2 wedges then I would say go 50*, 54*-55* and that will give you pretty even gaps in your clubs.

The only reason I'm against a pw+3 wedge set-up is the price. It seems like most quality wedges are around $100+. I can get the Bridgestone liquid copper wedges for $65 each. They are usually $109.99 at most golf shops. Problem is they only go down to 52*. Plus, I've been able to play with the liquid coppers on the course and hit them very well. There are probably other wedges out there that I can hit just as well but playing them on a course before buying them just isn't an option. Guess I could get a 52* liquid copper bent to 50* and get a 54* and 58*. This would still be cheaper than most other wedges in this range.
