hmm i need my gap and i feel a lob wedge wud help me a lot... i hit sandwedge 110, pw 135, lob wedge 100, gw 120... hmm maybe i shud just use all 4 wedges and pull out something else... i hate these kinda decisions.

The best thing I ever did was going from 4 to 3 wedges. With a little work on the range you can easily learn to control your distances well enough to go 48, 54, 60 on the wedges and cover all short yardage shots. A lob wedge is a nice club to have just make sure you have equal gaps between the lofts of your wedges. IMHO there is no need for a gap wedge.

I dropped the gap and went PW-SW(54)- lob (60). I mostly walk (lighter set) and I, also, found the gap left me short most of the time anyway, so now I use the PW more and am closer to the flag.

If you like to leave yourself 120 into the green keep the gap wedge. Otherwise the lob wedge will save you strokes around the green. You can strengthen your sand wedge and go with a 58 degree wedge LWif you don't want such a big gap between PW and SW.
