I currently play 2 wedges. A 48* pw and a 56* sand wedge. I play that pw for shots anywhere from 125 to about 70 yrds. The sw i play from about 60 and in. I really don't like taking a full swing with a sw because i always seem to thin it or something silly. With an upgrade wanted/needed i am considering 3 wedges. The 50* pw that comes with the ap1's. This would be for about 115-80 i think. Sound good? Then move to a 54* wedge that would be nice for anything from about 80 down to almost 40 yds. Then use the 58 for anything 30 yrds and in along with bunker play. I don't really know what bounce options i should get though. Im thinking the universal "either" bounce from vokey. I demoed a "slider" vokey and felt i did just that, slide under the ball. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

The AP1 has a PW at 45*, and a W which is actually a GapWedge at 50*.

A similar 54* and 58* would offer you pretty even distance coverage on your partial wedges. A 54* with some bounce makes a decent SW, and the 58* offers you a lower-loft lob than many users say is easier to hit than 60* on up. Also, the 58* can pop you out of steep-face bunkers.

If you can afford to go with Vokey, and like the clubs, you might want to get 50* Vokey to go with the 54* and 58*. Also, Vokey has about six different sole grinds, with lots of loft and bounce combos for each (some people say too many). If you could find an outdoor Demo Day with Titleist, go test the wedges in the wild.

Does the yardages im planning on using the wedges for make sense and seem easily playable? And i will use the 58 out of the sand. Its all mental that i can't use the 54.

4-5 degrees of gap in your wedges is a pretty good spacing. I have a 47* PW, 52* GW, 56* SW and a 60* LW.

    • IDK, a full turn. That is what it's feeling like. When I shallow the club, it ends where It ends. Should I crank the torso more around?  I'll check a face-on to make sure, but it's not like I am trying to make partial backswings.  The day has finally come, when I am getting comments on not making a long enough backswing. 🤣 too much of what?  Here is my typically routine.... 1) I usually start out just doing position work. The backswing stuff we work on. Turn to A2.5-ish, shallow to A4, pause, arms down to A6. Then, slight pump drill and hit the ball.  2) I do some pause at A4 and arms down and try to hit ball from A4 instead of A6.  3) I do some full swing stuff, trying to blend it all together. Checking video to see if I am actually keeping the club shallow or not. If not, then I go back to trying to train the downswing with the stuff we worked on. I try to blend it all together again, and check video.  What am I missing here? I do the stuff we worked on. I'll keep it at, it's all I can do. Just hope it changes.  Sorry for trying to find a feel that keeps the club shallow.. 
    • Ha ha.... I'm not sure.  I've actually never watched a LIV event. ... but maybe? 👍👍
    • I'd look at Days 2 and 22 here: https://golfevolution.com/30-day-plan And watch this video:
    • Do they run out on the course and kick sand from the bunkers on the green and yell at rules officials?
