New Wedge Advice

  I recently bought the Ping Tour W 64° Wedge.  I'm really happy with it, it stops on a dime.  I would like to get another wedge.  I want to stay with Ping Tour Wedges but I'm not sure which yardage to get.  The one I have is 60 yards.  Should I get the 80, 90 or 100 yard wedge?

  I need a new set of irons too, so taking that into account, I'm looking at the Taylor Made Burner 2 set.  

  The thing is, the PW is 110 yds. in the iron set.  So I figure I need something the middle, around 80-90 yds.  

  The question is, which yardage wedge should i get?

  Thanks

  The Z satin 56 is 93, 77 punch. full backspin on full is about 90, no backspin on punch is about 80

  My advice is look at the irons you want use with your wedges.  Consider purchasing clubs that have similar attributes and distance spacing.  Also, consider dropping the hybrid for another wedge...those are the clubs you'll do your scoring with and the closer you can get to a full swing, the more accurate your shots will become.

  I would wait till you reach level 60 and get the 85(60°) and 105 (54°) Ping Tour wedges.

  And when you make L59, buy the L59 G10's, not to be confused with similar looking irons. I have used these irons and although the L79 Burner 2.0's made them look like crap, they're still great. Along with the Ping Tour wedges Shade suggested, you'll have a great bag.

  Learn the punch shot with your set wedge-it fills a nice gap to your lower wedges and will change what you carry.

  Learn the punch shot with your set wedge.

  It will roll on quite a lot with your iron set. Allow 7-8 yards of space for roll.

  Sounds to me like you didn't learn it. Mine punches 108 but with spin will cover 100-116. The rollout is quite controllable.

  I did learn it, the OP has these irons though.
