Smaller headed lob wedge


jaffabell

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of any 60 degree wedges that have a smaller head that usual? I play an SM6 and hate how big the head is, compared it to a MG wedge and that is bigger still. Read that Speith has his 60 ground to make the head smaller, so I'm not alone in preferring a smaller head. What's annoying is that the 54 I have is small and perfect

Edel, Ping Glide Forged, some Mizuno models come to mind ...

 

Yes, I've found the Titleist heads to be too big for long term comfort - I buy, then sell them.

 

And to edit, I do not think the Ping Glide Stealth 2.0 are big - I'd say "normal." They are slim and offer forgiveness with great grinds.

Bridgestone j15 forged wedge, tear drop shape and versatile sole, pretty compact. I don't have the 60, but I do the 56 and it is easy to open up and hit anything. I have read from people on these forums that got the 60 degree and they were raving about how easy they were to just use and be able to scoop the ball without any issues at all. You can get a brand new one on the bay for about 69 bucks, it's a steal.

I have a Titleist 200-series 60* that's pretty small, but non-conforming if that bothers you.

Mizuno T-11s have a small profile, but finding one in good condition might be tough.

Also Callaway MD2 wedges have a pretty small head. I always wanted a 60* Tour Grind, but they didn't make them available where I live.

I'm sure there's more.

T7's are definitely one of the more compact wedge heads out. The PW head is ridiculously good looking.

I went from TVDs to the T7 and they are WAY smaller. The Mizuno teardrop is my favorite wedge shape, I just wish they could remake the MP T-11.

As far as off the rack domestic wedges fo MIZUNO has smallest headsize I know of across the board.....its why I use them

 

B stone are pretty compact but hard to find....

 

And scratch if they still around were small

 

But for availability and popular brands MIZUNO for sure

 

I played everything and I know its personal but Mizzy wedges are phenomenal...I have set of vokeys, Cleveland, yururis, and Callaway and continue to use "T" series for last 3-4 yrs from mizzy

 

Played vokes up until the red dot (red spin milled) and switched over to mizzy....the T7 60 deg is my favorite club, it just glides thru turf on any shot for me, maybe the way I swing idk but it's not leaving and yes I still have bad days with it,,lol

Glide 2.0 Stealth “look” smaller. I think they are average sized, but the black is deceiving. Excellent wedges by the way. I think the best Ping has ever put out.

Can you explain this?
