You must have Callaway irons? 10 I is the PW which should be around 46-48 degrees loft. Next club you should have would be a 52* wedge with 8 degrees bounce. Then either a 56 or 58 degree SW with at least 10 degrees bounce. If you play on courses that have firm sand go with a 56 degree loft and 8-10 bounce. If you play courses that have soft sand go with a 58 degree loft and 12 degrees bounce. You want a higher bounce out of soft sand so the flange of the wedge does not dig into the sand.
At least those are my thoughts on wedges. I do not carry a 60 degree wedge, I can make do with the lower lofted SW. I Carry 13 clubs, I rarely carry a 3 wood. That club will likely go back in my bag next summer as there is a wicked Par 4 at the course I will play the most and I need to hit 3 wood off the tee to a narrow fairway with water left and trees on the right.
