Wedge set makeup

My iron clubs have neither numbers nor names--just stamped lofts.

They're set in 5º increments, so since the 43º is the last "FW-15" and the 48º is the first "TK-15," I will call the 48, 53, and 58º clubs "wedges." However, I also bag a fourth wedge that's not really a part of the loft progression at all. It's a Ray Cook M-1 that serves as a dedicated sand iron and a recovery wedge from wiry greenside rough.

woods: 13, 18, 21, 24º (all full size, no hybrids)
driving iron: 19º
irons: 23, 28, 33, 38, 43º (23º iron pulled to observe 14-club limit)
wedges: 48, 53, 58, dedicated sand iron
putter.

I need some new wedges.
Hopkins if you can wait a few weeks for them.

I'm going to try a wide gap wedge setup tomorrow. Set PW (47°), then 52°, 58°, and 64°.

I tried to go to a single 54 degree, benching my 52/58 combo, so I could put another club at the top of the bag. Didn't work. Put the 52/58 back in. My PW is 44 degree. Leaves an 8 degree space between PW and GW. I don't see that gap in distance. Been wanting to take my PW in to my local shop and have the specs checked. It seems to be more on the order of 48 degree as high its trajectory is and the distance I find comfortable with it.
