Is my wedge worn?

Hi all, I was gifted this used wedge few years back when I started golfing and have been using it a my go to club around the green and in bunkers.

I never really thought about it until recently when I read that wedges should be replaced every 80-100 rounds lol.

It still performs okay just cosmetically looks beat up.

Based on my photos, looking at the grooves, does this wedge still look okay for play? I’ve never bought or owned new wedges before haha

Accidentally bought a 5W 19° and 7W 20°

So I was buying some clubs to update my dad’s golf bag and I just realised I got 2 different woods with only 1° loft difference. Found a good deal on Callaway Japan for an Ai Smoke Max Fast 5W with a 40g R2 flex. Also got him a XXIO MP13 7W.

Does it make sense to have a 5W and 7W with almost similar lofts? Of course the length are different therefore distance will vary.

Bag / Club Streamline Suggestions

Hi all! I am a beginner high handicapper and have been playing at least 2-3 times a month with range sessions at least 3-4 times a week. I am 37 years old and I struggle with a slice so I am getting lessons from a pro at the moment to correct my over the top swing and also impact. Distance is pretty inconsistent and we don’t have any simulator around to see numbers.

Throughout the entire period I have bought clubs new and used and now I feel that I should remove some to keep it within 14 clubs or lesser. I would like to seek your suggestions on what club to remove or streamline from my bag. Probably there are some redundant or clubs which in your opinion might clash with each other.

Here’s my current set up:

Driver: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max 10.5° 50 SR flex / Sometimes Speeder NX 50R

3W: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max 15° 50 R flex

3H: Callaway Big Bertha 2014 19° SR flex (modified Tour AD Z9003 wood shaft)

5H: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast 24° 40 R flex

7W: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast 21° 40 SR flex

5i - 9i, Pw, Sw: PING G425 Black Dot , Alta JCB R flex

52: Vokey SM 10

54: Vokey BV 524.10

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2.5

My PING G425 SW loft is 54° which clashes with my Vokey wedge so I know that I should remove either one of them.

Any advice and suggestions is much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Disappointing DF3 purchase - Paints Chips, lousy grips

Bought a rep DF3 on Taobao and it came with a white Accra shaft.

Disappointed with the quality as there paint chips at the bottom. The grip is bad quality.

Not all reps are created equal. Best to ask the seller for a real photo if possible.
