I currently have 53, 56 and 60 deg wedges, the 53 and the 56 are too close, would you get a 50 deg vokey or a 52, my pw is 46 deg?

My PW is 44 degrees and my SW is 56 degrees, so I bought a 50 degrees GW to fill the gap. It works well for me, last night at the range I calculated that the three clubs have a 20yd gap between them on a 3/4 swing, 120yds PW, 100ydsGW 80yds SW and based on that even though I didn't have my 62 degrees LW I would guess that would've been around 60yds

Hi Raz, welcome to the forum!
I had the same dilema (46deg W, 56deg SW, 60deg LW), and opted for the 50deg. I felt it's far easier to take some off a swing than put some on! Easy 50deg is better than a laced 52deg.

While loft can give you a good starting point, the defining criteria should be how far you hit them.
If your 53 is too close to your 56 then you need to try a 50 and a 52. See how far you hit them and then , if necessary get either bent to the right loft.
Watch the bounce angles if you're going to bend the lofts.
A 50 might have 8 degrees which will become 9 but a 52 may have 12 which becomes 11.....
Not huge I know but it can make a difference.

Can you explain what the bounce angle is all about? I've never really heard of / considered it?

Copious amounts on here about it - search bounce and I'm sure you'll find all you need to know.
I could take a year to write it all out again...

I think I will go with this, I could try them or get it bent but the golf depot down the road has vokeys on the cheap so would rather not!
My PW is 46 so I went 52 and 58 to get an even spacing in the lost.
