Huh. Been years since I golfed, but I've only had the one generic sort of sand wedge. I could be pretty wild with anything over a 5 iron most days, but for some reason, the higher loft wedges were never an issue for me. Usually I had to actually back them off a bit. I had custom clubs PW-Driver, all extra-long, but just the little cheapo sand wedge I'd hit about 100 yards easily.
Finally got a 60 degree L wedge one day, dimpled face, such a sweet little number you could cleanly hit off of the parking lot with that thing. Turns out I'd hit the fugger about 100 yards routinely, too. Even trying to back it off a little bit.
I think I finally just started putting from about 30 yards out.
