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.

Thanks!

In my bag is currently:

TaylorMade MG2 52° - 125 yards
TaylorMade MG3 56° - 110 yards
TaylorMade MG3 58° - 100 yards
Ping Eye2 62° - only hit it out of the bunkers. Have had this club for over 35 years

Used to have original Volkey 56° and 60° and replaced last season with the MG.
For the life of me I could never hit the 60°. Would always either hit it fat or thin and had no confidence in it so rarely pulled it out of the bag.

I was looking at the MG's but my golf coach told me to look at the Cleveland RTX6's and I was looking and reading all of the reviews and they all seem pretty damn amazing! So there is a sale going on right now for them and I have picked up the 60* locally to me and bought the 56* yesterday and a local guy is selling a brand new one that I will pick up tomorrow for a decent price.

I plan on keeping these wedges for a long time so I don't mind paying a little extra.

I change my wedges more than any other club. Well except rotqting through the collection of putters that seem to go hot and cold. LOL

I change wedges buying new models of the same ones because I am convinced using them 4 days a week for 2-3 years wears the grooves down. Even if not after they've been dragged thru desert and hit other hard surfaces they need replacement by then.

And I am about to call my club and ask to order a new 54 degree Cleveland RTX for me. it has had a hard 3 years.
