You may be right, would make more sense, but it's listed as a drop wedge in The official CG ebay store.

They are probably just going to be two gap wedges for me because I have the smart sole S for everything else.

It would probably mess with my head too much having two S's in the bag LOL

Yes, it's not very big at all. Smaller than the DI -11 PW.

Ok still trying to decide if I want to replace my X Hots from 8-D.

Do you feel like you're missing something with the xhots?
For me all the clubs between the driver and the smart sole are just for trying hit to a certain distance. I'm happy with consistent distance and straight, not trying to do anything fancy like work the ball in from either side. I can move the ball either way, but it gets away from me, so I'm satisfied just to hit the green.

Just looking for a bit more consistency direction and length wise.

That's what I believe I have found in the Alts. I really like the DI's, but the surprise bombs were getting ridiculous, I was getting to where I didn't know what to hit on a given hole.

Yep, the 9 down really play like a standard iron/wedge. I mean, they're a wee bit larger with a thicker top line, but not ridiculous. You can't really see any of the black "cavity" part.
To me, the 5 down are all highly playable. If you like the 5 and 6 then I think you'd like the 7 down. It's the 4 and 3 that are a little hit or miss.

Don't get me wrong the X Hots are great clubs I love how they feel but I don't think I have consistently the skill to do them justice.

With your distance, you can game 2 gap wedges.
Ole Gray, from what I know about your game, I'd probably play D and then move to the Smart Sole. If I were worried that the gap might be too wide, then stick the S in given it is 54, but I am not sure you are really going to see a huge gap.
I move from a 49 to a 56. There's about a 20 yard difference. I have played a 52 in between and it was just too many clubs at the bottom given I've only got average length. Bombers like Bamboo are the people I think benefit more from additional wedges.

Then the 8 down seem like no brainers to me, and I say this as someone who loves Callaway irons. Why not go for more consistent runs of clubs and shafts?
As I look at your bag make up, you've got the PXVs up top, then 3 different in the middle and what I suspect are PXVs down at the bottom and then close out with the Smart Soles. I'd want to find a cut off line (like that 5H) and be consistent from that point down.
I don't really think the 8-D are going to play that much differently from the XHots. The main thing will be less offset. Down at the bottom though, you start moving into the lofts where the effects of the additional forgiveness from perimeter and rear weighting are seemingly outweighed by additional loft and spin.
