Do you guys think the 2* difference will produce a noticable difference?
For me, the 2 degrees makes about a 7 yard difference. Think about the yardages that your various wedges play to and then you can decide if it makes difference.

Say you have a 60 that goes 70 yds, a 56* that goes 85 yds and a PW that goes 115 yds. You might want a gap wedge that goes 100 yds. That's probably going to be a 52*.

If you want to keep it to 3 wedges, you could play a 60, a 54 and a PW. Lot's of options. I actually play a 58, 54, and PW (which is 49 degrees). That's when I play my blades. If I play my Titleist 695.CBs the PW is 47* so then I carry a 60, 54 and 50 Vokey (the 60 and 54 are spin milled). Tons of backspin and lots of scuff marks on soft cover balls.
