Set Wedges or Specialist Wedges?

At my age, somehow, I can still hit my 5-iron about 185 yards.

Any thoughts?

Is that carry?

I hate fairway woods, so I've started rebuilding my bag from scratch.

Irons/wedges all sorted and happy - 60 degree down to 6 iron which I get 160/165 ground/off tee.

New driver is 240.

I'm back next week to fill the gap 180 - 220 ish, but can't see me getting anything to go 220 to be honest.

I refuse to put a wood in the bag as a tee option that I can't use off the deck, as I'm sick of carrying something for two shots a round.

I expect I'll end up 4 wood and two hybrids - we shall see.

That's overall.
GPS doesn't tell me how much of it was carry,
and you don't always find a pitch mark.

We all love a question I suppose we can only answer for ourselves, but here goes...

I've a set of Ping i230's 4-UW, then two S159 wedges, fitted, so same shaft and lie.

Set PW is 45, UW 50 - S159 54 and 58.

I use the 50 for 100 yard full shots and the odd bump and run and the 54 for 75 yard full shots and around the green, including bunkers. I find the 54 a lovely full shot club and feel I can pinpoint the landing each and every time.

So, thinking of replacing the set PW and UW for 159's. May bend the 46 back to 45 (not sure), or just my spec 46 and 50, so I end up 9 iron 41, then wedges 46/50/54/58.

As said, I know it's a personal choice, but as scoring clubs, wondered what everyone thought. I appreciate I could test some, but it's never easy to test them in 'real life situations'.

Right now, two T-Series set matching wedges [46, 50°], one SM10-T wedge [58-04], and one Cleveland SSFF 64° sand iron.
Nice, 8° gap in there, but we have a 14-club rule.

My comments from more than a month ago should never be responded to

Since then, I've swapped out the irons, ending in a 50 degree set wedge, plus a Vokey 54 and 58. It gets me to 12 clubs, so will carry my Vega 56 and 60 until I get used to/rid of the Vokeys.

Once I get my wedges all working well, I can use the two spare places at the top end, which is currently only driver, 5 wood and 5 hybrid.
