What are best wedges out there?

[Warrick]

Loving my Mizuno T7's, but I'm the only one I know playing them for some reason...

 

You're not the only one.

 

I have 8 - T7 wedges, they are fantastic. I think the replacement is about to drop.

Ben Hogan Equalizers. Solid forged

[davo32683]

I've tried about everything under the sun as far as wedges go and for me, I always come back to Vokeys. I've holed out and chipped in more with them than any others I've tried and my distance control is always predictable.

 

That being said, the TaylorMade HiToe has found its way into the bag at my 58* spot. That thing is so versatile and it's like cheating out of the bunker.

[Neilvice]

Engage toe sweep wedges are awesome. Can’t see anything replacing them anytime soon

[Sir edward of putternut]

Ive played the ft worth hogan forged wedges till i moved to cally and they just didnt seem to work out here. Got the a penta set of callaway mac daddys for a song when the new model came out and these are just the balls

[woods991]

TM Milled grind with Nippon WV unreal on how good these wedges perform. First time using TM wedges and very impressed on great the feeling and distance control is.

Just got some Cleveland RTX 3.0's, and I must say, they immediately kicked the Mizuno T-5's out of the bag. The v-sole is simply awesome, and is the main reason I wanted these wedges as I already have the Srixon z545 and z945 irons and found out first hand how good that sole works for me. Not gonna be needing new wedges for a while now.

I grabbed up a couple extras just recently. Mizuno is hit or miss with wedge offerings, so I thought I would get 'em while they are good.

Miura Hand Grind

[RobotDoctor]

I prefer forged wedges. My current GW is a Muira forged wedge (52/10). I have ground the sole a bit. My LW is a Scratch 1018 wedge (58/8).

 

At the end of the day a perfect wedge is subjective and one we are all in a quest for. For me, after trying A LOT of wedges I found that I prefer soft forged wedges with a squarish face profile and little-to no offset. The LW is outstanding and is a very reliable performer from 85 yards in (full shot length), medium length pitch shots, green side pitch shots, flop shots, short bunker shots and bump and runs. My GW is really good from 115-120 yards (full shots), longer bunker shots, medium length pitch shots (40-60 yards), bump and run shots, chips on the green. For me it's about confidence and I get that from feel, how the club looks to me and performance.

[williaza]

Ive tried...Mizuno S5...W/S PMP...and Callaway MD Forged within the past 2 seasons...the PMP are really the best for money can be had for like 50-60 new...but my favorite have been the MD Forged...very soft (i personally love the grind) and like the stock Tour S200 blue label think it adds a cool look....i may try to stock up over winter in case they switch those up.

[RH2]

For me Miura. Switched from Vokey this season and haven’t looked back.

I just added some miuras. They are very nice

Regarding wedges and spin, Tom Wishon had this to say:

 

"So the bottom line is that the grooves can add a very small amount of spin to the shot, but by far the vast majority of spin comes from the other elements not related to the grooves - clubhead speed, loft, face roughness, angle of attack, balltype, point of impact."

 

By face roughness he means the area between the grooves. If it is smooth, less spin, if it is roughed up either by the manufacturer or with sand blasting you will get more spin.

 

So why did the USGA get rid of the square grooves?

 

I heard a great interview with VJ Singh’s old caddy (Webb Simpson’s current). And he said VJ was the first to catch on what one could do with the grooves , so for 3 seasons he was winning a lot. Then eventually everyone caught on and the USGA put in those rules.

Bridgestone J15s for me

[Big Ben]

Ping Glide 2.0 Stealth. Just switched to them from the regular Glide 2.0. Great looks, feel and performance. Regular Glide or Glide 2.0 get a lot of love around here as well.

Absolutely LOVE my Stealths, fantastic wedges.

[Randy_Randleman]

MD forged, love mine. partial shots are great.

[JOHN GOLIA]

All of them. You just have to see what YOU like.

Good Luck.

The copies out of China could be the exception?

[WarEagleGolf]

No Edel peeps? Dropped the Vokeys and glides for these. And they are fantastic. More bounce but great grinds. Had an old x forged with square grooves before. Had that for 8 yrs maybe? Good feel, Edels a little different but almost like cheating so easy to hit.

[BLITZ31]

absolutely love my Miuras

[Chowdah86]

Its really up to what your eye prefers and what bounce works best for you.

 

 

When I started playing, I settled on Cleveland and that was that. They arent too pricey. The bounce system is simple. They feel great. And plenty of wins on tour. I love a 2 dot 56* cleveland. +1/2” +1* up. I will continue to buy this exact wedge every three years for life and use it for everything inside 70 yards.

 

Im a keep it simple guy. I dont like to futz around with stuff. Indefimitely down geek out over the grinds.

[EKELLY]

They're ALL copies of the old Wilson JP series, just a few tweaks here and there. No new technology here folks!

[RRH]

I use Vokeys because I love the Titleist font. Simple as that. They perform beautifully too.

[dlygrisse]

Anyone try Edel. The grinds intrigue me.

[Joelsim]

As Victor Kiam once said, I liked the MD4 so much I bought another.

 

Something like that anyway.

 

MD4 64 on the way.

[Mukky]

I went from rtx-3's to sm7's this season and I'm really impressed. I really like all the grind options with Titleist

[nilopol]

Full shots GW,SW Ping Stealth

LW Cally PM Grind

[twqb4]

Thanks for all the input! I ended up going with 52-56-60 scratch wedges. They are awesome they are soft and I can manipulate the face with the 56 and 60 so I can play all the shots I like to play.

I’ve thought about getting an extra set myself, but, I’m still getting very good spin numbers with the set I bought last August. I think these will last me until the next release is being phased out!
