I just bought a new set of Cobra Forged TEC irons which came with a Gap wedge 50 degrees and I now have 2 gap wedges 50 forged TEC and a vokey 52 degree. Wondering if I should bend my set pw to 44 from 45 and gap wedge to 48 from 50 so that my wedge setup would be 44 48 52 56 60, or just remove my vokey 52 and have a wedge setup of 45 50 56 60.
Here are my yardages with my current setup.
9 iron 40 - 155 carry
pw 45 - 140 carry bend to 44 maybe carry around 143
gw 50 - 118 carry bend to 48 maybe carry around 125
gw 52 - 115 carry
sw 56 - 105 carry
lw 60 - 95 carry
If I took a gw out of the bag I could put my 4 hybrid back in the bag which would help me on the other end as I currently carry 5 iron 200 yards and 3 hybrid 230, where if I add 4 hybrid back in the bag I carry it about 215. Any input would be helpful. Thanks
 
Play the clubs for a while and see if you actually need to change anything.
 
I have gone this way:

PW - 45*
AW - 50*
SW - 55*
LW - 58*

Depending on your carry distances, you could always bend your SW and LW down a degree to get your yardages down. I rarely use my LW for full swings, so the full carry yardage I get with it is not important for what I do, but your usage will likely vary.
 
I have played with them for a month now and notice very little difference between 50 and 52 degree gap wedges, so that's why I thought I would get more out of bending one stronger to 48 and my pw to 44 and having a more consistent gap. I find that I would only use my 4 hybrid maybe once every 3 or 4 rounds where most of the par 4's I play at my course I usually have between 100 to 140 yards to the green.

I do use my lob wedge for shots from 70 to 95 yards but anything longer than that I am trying to force it and it usually leads to a mishit.
 
I would do what Mancest suggests
 
45 50 56 60 is a good combo.
