    I am having a hard time deciding if I want to go with 52, 56, 64 degree wedge or 56, 60, 64 degree wedge? I kind of want the 115 yd, 100 yd and 60 yd. I can use the 100 yd as punch for the 84 yds. But have been advised against using the 52 Degree wedge (115 yd) and go with the 60 Degree (80 yd) I am really considering the 52, 56, 64 wedge set up. What do you all think? Just don't want to waste 895 credits and then want to change again.

    I already have the 56 and 64 Cleveland Wedges.

    I happen to be right in the middle of that question myself, Kaloke. I made the move to 4 wedges because of that club. When I have to carry a 3w I drop out the 100.

    The reason I tried it in the first place was because I was having difficulty from around 90 yards out. Choking the 100 was the best choice there and it wasn't consistent doing that. The 115 conveniently punches 96 so that fit in just right. However, the full shot with it is fantastic and is very easy to get close with. You can spin the daylights out of it if you want to  but I use it without spin and just choke it. Sticks like glue every time. 

    IMO, getting it will expand your abilities and give you options for things like CTTHs, course conditions that don't require a 3W, etc. I realize it's only 5 yards removed from the R11 set PW (which happens to punch 103) but it's an entirely different club and a good one.

    I find 50yd, 77yd and 105yd is the best for me.

    It's about time we were able to drop some the irons to be able to carry these sorts of clubs. How many people would drop there PW for the 115yd cleveland and also drop the 3iron for a hybrid. Quite a few i would imagine

    I will get the 52 C wedge (115 yd) and if I can ever earn enough credits, I will get the 60 too. Was doing good winning mpc but lost all my winnings in 2 mpc games lol. I got too confident and put up too much.

    I wrongly assumed you had  a 64W. Shame on me because that should be your very next acquisition. I'm surprised you don't have one. The Ping 64W is only 200 credits and a junior version of the CG64w, sorta-same yardage. A lot of Legends carry it. So do a lot carry that Satin 64W at 250 credits. Those are way more important than that 115W.
