That being said, its a one size fits all wedge set. If you're a creative or good wedge player, these might not be versatile enough for you. The bounce is on the higher side, the sole on the 52 is a bit wider than what I'd like and I personally find that these launch the ball higher than my other wedges so flighting them down is a bit more challenging (its probably just my swing shape). I also play different grinds and bounce angles on my normal wedges which help with different shot types and lies.
TLDR: If you just need a new solid wedge set and have a limited budget, this set can't be beat. With good solid technique you can make these work fairly well. If you think these will directly compete against a custom fit wedge that cost 3x as much... no. Its one grind and one bounce for all. You can probably adjust them a tiny bit to get the desired ball flight but the sole grind and bounce is hard to tinker with.
I also wanted to add, as a suggestion, is going to the local golf stores and finding used wedges in decent shape that are a few years old. I did this for a season ($30-$40 here and there) until I found some wedges that had bounce angles and sole grinds that I finally felt comfortable with. After playing with so many different types, I knew what worked and didn't work for my game. Or you can save yourself some time and get a wedge fitting (assuming you have decent technique).

Ideally you would want a gap wedge to sit in between those at like 50 degrees, and then a lob wedge at 58 or 60.
For new players, a 60 is pretty tough to hit and you may not get much use out of it as a result.
However, for the price of this wedge set I think it's worth dropping your current callaway sand wedge and using the 56 as your new sand wedge. The 52 as your gap and the 60 as your lob. Otherwise you'd need to buy 2 wedges at say 50 and 58 degrees and that will probably run you at least $200 unless you find a good used deal.
The only other thing I'd mention is that if you wanted to go the 50&58 degree path, I've heard very good things about Maltby and they will run you $50-$60 per club on their website.
Hope that helps
