inexpensive wedges?

[monkeyboy]

Asking for my son (24).

Was looking for a year or so old models from 'reputable' brands like Cleveland or Titleist.   Hit or miss in terms of what lofts/bounce are available.

Want new.

What brands are in the $80-$120 range, per wedge?

 

Looked at some Maltbys and Sub70 - no experience with those clubs though.

Carls has a pretty good selection of the RTX4 still

Callaway Pre-Owned, they have "Like New" Jaws wedges for under $100. I bought an MD4 and PM19 wedge from them, I think in the "Very Good" category and I don't think the PM19 was ever hit honestly.

No experience with them, but Costco sells a 3 wedge set for I believe ~$150.

 

I'm not sure what golf OEM is building them, but I believe people are liking them. 

 

Otherwise, I like shopping at the Callaway pre-owned website.

What he said....

Once COVID breaks, the best way to find these is at Thanksgiving PGA sectional sales and at Spring Golf Expos.

 

Depending on the year, you may find a good number of top-brand wedges from the previous cycle up for sale, for about $100 a club.

 

At our 2020 February expo, those arriving opening day could have done well with Vokey SM6 offerings: 52-56-60 or 50-54-58 with different bounces to choose from. Cleveland had quite a few CBX variants for sale also.

 

Callaway and TM offerings were pretty lean, however, mostly lob wedges.

 

Note: Abundance of a model will vary by year, and geographic area.

If you son plays a lot of square-face wedge shots, this 52-56-60 set could get it done for him.

My Lazrus were $50/each and you can get as a set. I am very happy with mine.

I have nothing but good things to say about the Sub70 wedges... Definitely in your price range, and can be ordered custom. Maltby has a solid reputation and would be a fine way to go.

 

If you don't need or want a different length and are fine with "wedge flex" shafts, there are a ton of options in your price range... You can easily pick up last season (or 2 season old) wedges that haven't been touched. 

 

Hurricane Golf has some options, and I haven't seen them mentioned.

 

Some other options would be Cobra wedges or Tommy Armour Wedges... 

 

You have basically 4 options:

 

1. Want a custom build for different lengths or lies or have a specific shaft need? Go DTC. Sub70 is great! Plenty of other options.

2. Want an old OEM wedge? Check a discount site... they will have previous year and older models in your price range.

3. Want a cheaper new wedge? Shop older, less popular clubs... Cobra and Tommy Armour come to mind

4. Want cheap wedges? Join Costco. Buy their wedges. Grab some quality beef.

These are hard to beat for the money....the dark finish feels softer to me. Great spin too....hard to find better for the price.

I highly recommend the Maltby MG Tour Grind. Great forged wedge that has awesome feel, a ton of spin, and a very versatile grind. I also have older Callaway x forged and Vokey SM5 wedges. I prefer the Maltby but they are all very good. IMO the Maltby spins and feels a hair better than the vokey but you cant go wrong with either. My only gripe is that the leading edge is a tiny bit sharp so If you get steep on a full swing it will dig but that is the error of the player and not the club.

[jomatty]

I hit some malt by wedges at the course the other day and liked them quite a bit.

Check eBay for wedge sets.  Several Cleveland and Callaway sets that are well within your price range.

[RSinSG]

These actually look really nice.

These are a great option. TGW sells them for $25/wedge frequently.

A friend got the Costco wedges and really likes them.

This. Just got a very good PM19 56 in today that was essentially new. May have been hit once or twice. $90 to my door.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tour Edge. They make some heavy high quality wedges. 

 

But to agree with another poster... I too am rocking a Sub 70 and love it. It's been my go to wedge for all kinds of shots. 

[SugarLandGolfer]

Sub70 fanboy, but I just bought some Lazrus wedges after seeing all the positive reviews and recommendations from this site. Love spending money on the little guys.

[tucson5190]

Buddy of mine got the Kirkland Wedge Set (52-56-60) at Costco.  He likes them.  I've noticed a higher level of performance from him than before.  It appears like the wedges are quality and perform well.

[sbjinx]

I really like the Haywood wedges. I think they are like $100 a piece but look really clean. They have decent reviews online also. 

[pup142]

For me wedges are like putters. I have a garage full of wedges that didn’t work out. The best thing you can do if you can is try them before buying. That is my 2 cents on wedges.

[mogc60]

I really don’t think you can beat these for the money. Might have to buy from seperate sites but for $99 or less you can’t go wrong with the RTX4

New Level. I just picked up a pair of TRI-WEIGHTS 50,55 and they are excellent. 

[Yoshifan151]

As other's have said, RTX 4 on clearance is the way to go.

The Maltby TSW wedge looks like the real deal. I play one each of Tour Grind MG and the retired M-Series+ Tour and love them both. The TSW blends them together. Wish it came in black. Not everyone wants a blade gap wedge though so be sure to check out sets that offer an individual GW if he would prefer a cavity back club there. I’m a good player but found that I prefer an iron-like club in that position to match the rest of my set.

I’ll echo the love for Lazarus wedges. I bought the set in rainbow and like them immensely. Forged wedges with a milled face. Hard to beat for $117 delivered to the house for 3 wedges.
