    I do already have the Z Satin 64W - I did not mention it because I have no plans of replacing it any time soon

    Smart. In that case I would go to the 77 yard Satin and the 90 yard Satin. The 77 punches 63 and the 90 punches around 80 (can't remember.) So using punches with full shots on just those 3 wedges you get coverage of 41  50  63  77  80 (?) 90. And that's  full swings with irons that forgive so much you can actually aim by missing with them.  Throw in the pitch, chip and flop and you have 15 different full swing yardages at your disposal.

    I do already have the Z Satin 64W - I did not mention it because I have no plans of replacing it any time soon

    right now, I have a 110 PW, 85 54W (+14), 65 60W (+14), 50 54W (+39)

    I am trying to decide if it is worth it to replace the 54W and 60W now, or just wait until I unlock the CG counter parts at +76 and +78

    the main consideration is trying to make the best decision, without wasting credits, because I'll eventually be getting the CGs anyway sometime down the road

    If I were you I would wait on CGs and get the 56° 100 yrder and the 60° 80 yrder. and keep the 64° TM 50 yrder (awesome wedge) I'm sure the CG 64° is great too but for a 600 credit difference? I don't think so. I can do anything with this TM 64° that can be done with the CG 64° except hit it 60 yrds.

    I just bought the 56° CG a couple days ago after having the 52° CG for a quite awhile. The 56° seems to be just as predictable as the 60° CG. And trust me, that's saying a lot. The 60° CG is so accurate and predictable it's sick. And I can choke the 60° down to 53 yrds with avatar movements and a little backspin. Using punch it will stop dead at 68 yards and not get unpredictable release like other wedges. Both the CGs are extremely easy to hit and learn. Just don't get stupid with backspin from the fairway. I bought the 56° CG and ditched the 52° CG because the 52° was too unpredictable. I'm only talking about 2-3 yrds difference from the same shot played many times but that's not acceptable for a 115 to 85 yrd approach.

    I have and used the TM Satin 52° 105 yrder for quite awhile, too. The 52° CG puts that wedge to shame as far as holding a green with a tail wind and overall predictability.

    The short answer is keep the 64° TM Satin for life. Level up to the 56° & 60° CG and you'll be set when you buy the 2.0 or R11 irons.
