Wedge Question

[calebt17]

Andy,

I got a new set of irons and they came with a GW. My PW is 45 loft, GW is 50, and I have the 56 niblick. Also, I have a 52 Vokey.

When I first got the set, I wasn't using my GW too much because I was feeling comfortable with the 52. Yardage wise I found myself needing to fill the hole between the 52 and the PW. So, I started using the 50 and it filled the gap nicely.

My PW distance is around 110-115
My GW (50) is 100-110
My 52' is 85-95

Seeing that my 52 is being replaced by the 50. I was looking at a 56 for SW.
One of the guys at GG suggested I have my 52 bent to 54 and then maybe pick up a 58 or 60. I had a 58 in the past never tried a 60. I have heard 60 horror stories, hahaha.

My options 50, 54, 58 or 50, 56? What do you think?

I decided to spend time on the range and figured out my distances instead of just looking at loft. I use two gap wedges because of the distance spread. Hear goes...
45 pw = 110 yards
50 gw = 100 yards
52 gw = 90 yards
56 sw = 80 yards

My thoughts on the loft gaps are I would bend your 56 to a 55 and add a 60. THis would keep with the gapping nicely and should get you 10-15 yards between your wedges.
