I think the S grind would be the grind in the DRT for where you are. Really good and the ones I use here in Ohio where we have neutral to soft conditions in the spring and fall and generally not too hard in the summer, although sometime it can get firm. Like the S grind in all of those conditions. The A grind is great too when the conditions tend to stay on the softer side, or the player needs a little more sole width because they have more of a steep attack angle.
The Max Milled are good all around as well. The 1.05 is the wider sole and is a little wider than even the A grind in the DRT. The The S grind DRT effective sole width is a little less than the Max Milled .90, but those really should play similar. We put a little more relief grind on the DRT S, with some softer edges. Below I put links to some PDF’s giving more detail to each one.

One thing you mentioned was adding an A grind 50. There is no A grind in 50 degrees. There is 52 in A and S grind, as well as the G grind (GAP Wedges). If you need the 50 degree, the G grind is the only 50 degree in the line. It’s good. I play the 48 G, 52 S and 56 S. G grind is more of a standard sole width, like you see in a set PW, or GW. Listed at .750″ width.
I would say, without really seeing you hit shots, that if you’re not too steep, pretty good with your wedges on turf and out of sand, the DRT S grind would be worth a try. If you are steep, have a tendency to hit shots fat, the A grind might be the better choice. I played the previous version of the Max Milled, the M-Series+, for a long time and thought they were the best I had played, until the DRT. Really like the versatility.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Britt. I may even go 52-A, 56-S, 60-S. My PXG 0211 XCor2 -G- Wedge is 48*. Was looking to the 50 for that 70-80 yard shot. I hit my 54 55-75 depending upon my set-up and swing. The longer shots are more inconsistent with the 54. Anything under 50 yards I tend to go to the 50. The courses I generally play have well protected greens so you’re limited on bump and runs depending on what angle to the green your looking at.
