Got a small problem chaps...As iv changed to my Ping i10's i now have a 46 deg PW and a 54 SW both i10 wedges ....

I also carry 52 and a 56 wilsonstaff TW9 wedges...
So whats the ideal way to go....
1.Is a 54deg SW too low a loft for the sand?

2.Should i just ditch the Wilsons and add an i10 UW AT 50deg?

3.Or is it possible to maybe get the 52 wilson bent to 50 and keep the 56 but ditch the i10 SW?

4.Or get the 2 wilsons bent to 50 and 58 and keep the i10 SW at 54deg and maybe drop my 5 wood?

Now iv confused myself :D :D :D :D
 
I would pull the 54 out of the bag as you have a decent spread without it. The 56 i perfect for bunkershots, if you cant get it out with a 56, it wasnt meant to come out :D
 
I guess a lot will depend on the type of sand at your club and how deep the bunkers are. I carry a 58 but in truth I could use my 56 without any problem to get out of most traps. Its personal preference
 
Get the 50, dump the Wilsons, add a 58 TourS.
54 is enough to get you out of most bunkers and if it isn't use the 58.

I was thinking that Murg.
Im changing out my G15 20deg rescue for the equivalent i15 as i cant get on with the looks of it.Cant seem to hit the ball out of my way with it
So i think i can afford to drop the 5 wood as i wont loose much distance with the rescue at 20 degrees.
 
Kid - I use I10 like you and have ping tour w 50 and 56 which provides a good setup for me. How you getting on with them?

Iv only played 3 rounds with them yet Splash,
But i have to say there fairly forgiving bats...Granted they bite when you dont catch one right but thats normal...
Im struggling a little with the 4 iron off the fairway but off the tee im nailing it...
I actually find it easier to hit than my old Cobra s2 4 iron for some unknown reason...
My distance is down slightly but im putting that down to the slightly weaker lofts..
Funny thing is though that the clubs are more consistent distance wise....
If i pull the club for 120 yards...Then im getting 120....

They feel pretty nice too in comparison to some of the reviews that i read about them before i bought them....Alot was said about them being harsh and dead but they feel fine to me.
