I currently play s56's and vokey wedges. The S56 PW is 47 deg and my wedges are 52 and 56. I've been considering putting my old Ping Zing 2 BeCu "S" wedge back in my bag and replacing my 56.

After a bit of searching around, I've come to find out that the Zing 2 "S" is actually 52 deg (and 18 bounce)... So here is my question.

Should I:
1) Replace my 56 and have 47 S56 PW, 52 Vokey GW, 52 Zing 2 SW.
2) Replace my 52 and have 47 S56 PW, 52 Zing 2 GW (even though its called a SW), 56 Vokey SW.

Im leaning towards 2, but I'm concerned about having a GW with so much bounce (not to mention that my GW has an "S" sole stamp). Is a high bounce a bad idea of a GW?

I think 18 degrees of bounce is way too much for a club that will be used predominantly from the fairway. It'll have a tendency towards bladed shots as the bounce prevents the leading edge from getting under the ball.

I chose a low bounce CG14 SW so that it would be easier to play from the fairway/rough and on average I'm only in a bunker once per round compared to 6-8 fairway/rough shots.
