What is the ground condition typically like where you play? (Hard, soft, ...etc)
Varies, but during normal conditions the ground is medium to medium-soft, depending on rain.
What is your current wedge?
Current PW is the one that came with my irons, a set of Velociteque cavity backs, +1 inch in length. Had a set of Warrior wedges - LW, GW, SW - but the only one I liked and hit well was the SW. Ended up losing it last year. LW and GW from this set are worthless in my opinion. Replaced the lost SW with a Ram Easy-out. It's good out of the bunker, but I find the wide sole and bounce make other shots difficult. I used to play my Warrior SW quite well from 80-100yds, but can't seem to get anything out of the Ram club.
Why are you looking for another wedge? (Replacement (why?) or filling the Gap)
I want to have at least two matched wedges that I can hit well, so that I don't have to use my PW for everything except sand shots.
Do you need more Spin with this wedge?
I currently don't get a lot of spin, but I think that's as much or more my lack of technique than wedge design.
Do you sometimes have trouble blading the ball (hitting it thin or chilling dipping) when your pitching it on the green.
Rarely - usually only if I have an awkward stance or the grass is really thick and heavy or if it's an exceptionally hard lie.
Do you take big or little divots with your wedges?
Full shots from the fairway - small divots, many times practically pick it clean
Other info that may help:
Current irons, wedges have steel shafts
Play PW up to 130 yards
Most online club fittings advise a +.75 to +1inch club length.

With this info I would guess that you need a wedge that doesn't offer a wide and flattened out sole but a better weight balanced head. I also assume that we can work to gain more spin out of the club with the shaft and also with the head choice.
I would say that the best option for you would be the Infiniti AW-Grind Wedge w/ AccuFLEX Stepless iron shaft, .75" over standard.
The SW says that its 9* bounce but plays more like 8* (which both are good for your needs) and offers more weight throughout the head. This is going to be alittle more less in weight then some wedges and offers the rust face for more grip and spin. The Tour Stepless shaft is going to give you a softer tip to create more spin at impact and I would tip it to give you a mid-high launch to offer bite on the green. You can get this in Gap, Sand and Lob wedge.
Besides this, there isn't anything else that I wuold recommend except for a Rifle Spinner in place of the Tour Stepless.
GR price would be $59.40...
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
