    I was wondering if I could some feedback on whether or not I should change my wedge set up at all or maybe just bend some clubs around. I feel confident with the wedges that I have but there is always room for change and improvement. My current distances (non grip and rip) formy wedges are as follows: MB PW:165yd 50 degree: 145yd 56 degree: 120yd 60 degree: 100yd For the most part, I split the year between sea level glf and 6000 ft; so when I get to a mile high, I am playing some really long wedges, usually 15% further. Does anyone have any suggestions on clubs to add or bending that I might do?

    turn pro!! with that distance you should be able to hit par 5 second shot with a 6 or 7 iron. Chuck the long irons and buy a 64, 68 and 72*

    You should be on the PGA tour with those distances. The big question is how is your short game? Are you a "slider" (where you hit a sweeping motion) or a "digger" (where you primarily hit down on the ball) in your wedge shots? Or do you use both as the situation dictates? What type of bunkers do you play (if you get in them)? Soft bunkers require more bounce and harder or wet bunkers require less bounce. My wedge setup is DCI 981 PW and GW, Spin Milled c-c wedges (54-11 bent to 55-12, 58-12, 62-07). The only ones that I play full swing square stance golf shots are the PW and GW. The 54-11 and 62-07 work in most of my pitching and bunker shots (and they work equally well out of hard/wet bunkers or soft bunkers). The 58-12 has a flatter bottom so I use it when I have to hit a downward blow (the spin is incredible, though); it is not good out of hard bunkers. Now that I have the 62-07 I find it more versatile vs the 60-07 or the 64-07.

    As far as shot making, I can hit pretty much whatever shot is required when the time comes. As far as bounce and such goes, I'm left-handed which pretty much gives me only one option when ordering wedges from Titleist. As always, there is room for general improvement with short game and the one shot I have trouble with is a high-spin bunker shot.
