(Most) forgiving JDM wedge?

[Twists]

I am looking for forged wedges and was thinking of Miura, but then came across Fourteen C036.

 

Has anyone tried these?

JDM forged Vokey is a great choice for forgiveness. If you want a true Japanese brand wedges with forgiveness I think RomaRo and Yamaha have some pretty good options.

Fourteen has at least three different cavity back wedge models.  I am currently eyeing the DJ4 56

I replaced my SM7s with Fourteen RM-11 and absolutely love them. Such great feeling and quite forgiving. I know they're a little older but loved the black finish the best on the RM-11 model.

I have a set of Roddio PC Forged wedges. They are the most forgiving wedges I've ever hit.

Love my Itobori and Yururi wedges. 

The Itoboris are easy to play with plenty of bounce.

And the Yururis just grab the balls like carbon brakes. 

Good luck with the search, mate.

Cheers

I have the older Miura forged 58* and Miura HB 54* I got earlier this year.  If you have the funds, I would recommend them.  They are plenty forgiving, one of the softest feeling wedges out there and sexy looking.

I have the JDM vokey forged wedges and love them.  I am stationed here in Japan and have a couple of golf stores down the street and am always looking at JDM clubs.  I retire october this year and as a retirement gift the wife is working a fitting at Miura for a set of irons once we are able to go there as Covid is dictating how far off base we are allowed to go.

Beautiful clubs.  Are your Yururi's confirming or non-confirming? How have they held up in terms of wear?

Wedges just aren't forgiving. How would you measure that, over 1000 shots? Get what feels the best or produces the best results. My favourites are Royal Collection Dent Back forged, Epon Tour or Mizuno Jypers 2 Letter Press.

@Twists:  Fourteen would have cavity-back forged wedges (similar to Cleveland Smart Sole, albeit forged)

 

if primary criteria= Forgiveness (and if doesn’t need to be forged wedges)... then there are other JDM wedges eg Powerbilt has some non-conforming Oversize wedges you might like (I believe the non-conforming aspect= the heel-to-toe length is beyond USGA/R&A prescribed limits ie not due to extra-sharp grooves)

my 2cents = the Itobori and Yururi Gekku wedges, that @swagee mentioned= Way way more appealing/
float my boat 🚣 way more than those Powerbilt shovels (but depends what’s  your key criteria w.r.t. these wedges)
