As for wedges -
I currently have in the rotation:
- 64* $5 bargain bin find that for some reason just works really well for me
- 60* high bounce callaway jaws
- 56* high bounce callaway jaws
- 52* high bounce callaway jaws
- 60* low bounce PXG wedge
- 54* low bounce PXG wedge
Thinking of picking up some Vokeys at some point and seeing what all the hype's about, I may go full Titleist on my next set.
Yardage - I hit my 60* about 100-105 carry at full strength, but almost never hit it full strength. The 60-64 are typically reserved for short floppy shots around the green where I have a narrow landing area or slope that runs away from me. I hit the 52* about 115-120y, and the 54-56 is like my 110-ish club. I can maaaaybe crank the 52 out to 125, but realistically I usually just hit a soft PW instead. My PW covers me anywhere from 130-145, 9i gets me about 145-160, 8i gets me 160-175, 7i is 175-190, 6i is 190-205, 5i 205-220, 4i 220-235, then it goes to my 3H, 3W, DOD.
Lower end of the range is a relaxed swing, high end is cranking it 100%.

Thank you for the detailed response! Def helps alot! I never used my wedges at the range to see how how I can hit them or have a consistent yardage range for each one. So that is why I am asking to get a ball park.
Since I got a 60*, I will take that to a range with a Tracker so I can see how my yardage stacks up first then go from there. I am looking at a 52* and a 56*. I had that for my old wedges and they worked for me. I have a PW and SW too. So I think I am going to get those two additional wedges to round out my bag.
I just recently heard about the Vokeys. Let me know what you think of them if and when you purchase them.
