Youve left yourself a huge gap between your PW and your 54*. Almost 10 degrees of difference. If you want to get good at this game its the short clubs that are going to do it for you. Pick up a gap wedge somewhere, preferably a 50*.

A gap wedge is certainly on the to-buy list. Going to play a few rounds with the x-tour wedge and see if I want a x-tour gap wedge or a cavity backed gap wedge. My range experience so far is that I hit the wedges completely straight.

So finally gave in and bought the Callaway X-tour 54*-13 bounce. Works really well, good feel and good distance control. Also found the X-tour 50*-11 bounce for $70 so I picked that up as well. So i've gone 45 (pw) - 50 (Gap) and 54 (sand)

btw...I saw how you were mentioning that your drives are somewhat inconsistent. Perhaps you should try a higher lofted driver...that will give you a better chance of hitting the ball straighter and to hone your swing. Then you can go to a lower lofted driver.

Also...if you like your Callaway XTour...try out the Callaway Forged+. I just bought a 60* one last night at golfsmith for $49.

personally, not only to the gap, add either a 58 or 60, they are miracle workers out of sand, an just about any shot...

Since you're a high handicapper and you have X-20 irons I'd suggest you'd stick with the X-20 wedge. Having as many of the same iron while you're learning definitely can't hurt.
