Thinking on simplifying my wedge setup and going 46/52/58 instead of my current 46/51/54/60, as my 54 never gets used and I struggle making consistent chips with the 60. In need of some new clubs and figured this would be a good time to make the switch and maybe simplify my short game. Anyone play this setup are have any advice to what they prefer?

degrees are meaningless without context.

Your wedges are just a function of managing the yardage gap from your PW, assuming 46 is your PW, that's a pretty big gap to cover with two wedges unless you are short hitter. What's your PW distance?

I hit my 46 (pw) around 130-135, and 52 should be around 110-115. I don't see an issue swinging a 3/4 pw to make up for that loss yardage gap

Mizuno irons. 45PW, 50GW. Last year I went 56SW. This year I'm trying 54SW and 58GW.

Yep you want 4 degrees between scoring clubs for full shots. I used to be weird about having a 58 vs a 60 but found out it’s just as easy to add loft by opening the face around the green while still being able to hit full shots with my 58 from 75-95 yds.

60, 56, 52 is how I roll

56 on most almost anything inside of 80 except sand or when I’m really short sided

Not just that gap, but also your 52-58. 20 yard gaps isn’t the end of the world, but unless you are trying to go with more woods, no reason to have just 3 wedges.

Personally I’d rather shorten my distance gaps and have more wedges and fewer woods/hybrids. But if you never use your 54, then sure. Based on your yardages I assume you hit your 54 about 100, which is odd that you would use that club much.
