That said, anything under 100 is the PW for me, and I vary the swing. It strikes me this probably isn't a good idea, and I should be building flexibility and options with a number of clubs, but I'm getting stuck into this confidence rut with it where I feel I HAVE to use to the PW, and vary my swing. Mad, huh?
That's not a bad strategy but you should vary the swing length with your SW, LW and GW if you have one, you will then have a large number of options to the pin.

If you are hitting a sand wedge 120 yards then you must be delofting it, not using the club the way it was designed. You will be getting a low ball flight that does not check on landing and you are probably swinging much harder than needed with a loss of accuracy. 120 yards would be a 9 iron for most mortals.
Another solution: That sand wedge is closer to 48° than it is 56°. Hence, it's closer to 120 than 80. CHECK THAT LOFT!
