    I have been hitting my PW (710 AP1) about 145-150 and my GW about 135.  The problem is the next wedge in my set is a Vokey SM4 56 which i hit about 110 and a 60 SM4 about 95-100.  My dilemma is whether or not to carry a 5th wedge to cover the 120-125 range.  I already don't use my 3-wood much since i acquired a 17 Hybrid. If so any recommendations on the lie, i was leaning towards 52? Thanks for any help/ input/ advice!

    John,

    If you aren't using your 3 wood much, then I certainly would consider it.  I would at least try to keep atleast 3* of loft in between each club.  Or you could consider bending your GW a degree weak to 52* and your 56* 55* in hopes of bringing those gaps closer together.

    I have an AP1 PW, Vokey SM3 50-08 (bent to 49) and SM3 54-14, and SM4 60-10 (bent to 59). 

    Go with Cameron's suggestion (bend the AP1 GW to 52 and the SM4 56 to 55). 

    You also may want to consider working your gap wedge.  You can choke down 1/2" and hit the GW 125 (about halfway down the handle) and 1" (all the way down the handle) and hit it 115 choked down 1".    You can also work your pitching wedge.
