Give me your favorite wedge

How have we made it this far with no mention of the PM grind???

Tm hi toe raw 60/7. Best lob wedge I’ve ever used. I have got a few buddy’s to switch over after trying mine.

Low bounce K grind. Does it all.

Wow are those beautiful.

I game a 52 and 58 Miura black. Surprised no one has mentioned them in this thread. Expensive, but hand forged. There is something so subtle about the grind. I feel like anything I can visualize, I can do with these clubs. Slight changes in stance and grip expose a dozen different angles and bounces and ball flights. Sorry folks, I'm nerding out here.

My favorite wedge is the vokey M grind in the 58 or 60 versions. But if I had to choose a 54 or 56 wedge I’d choose the vokey D grind.

No its mine and you can't have it!

I'm still using Scratch wedges, 53 DOG grind and 58 SLT. I have a bag full of them so hopefully the last me about 30 years.

I've been playing the Mizuno T20 and now T22 wedges for a few years and love them.  My 56° is money - great for all shots 100 and in and the best wedge I've had out of bunkers in ages.  Also a perfect full swing wedge as well. You can definitely find them mint or even new in that price range on eBay.

I've played many different brands and models and none as good as Vega IMHO.

Got some NCW wedges last year and they were amazing. Great feel, raw, custom grind with tons of versatility.

I like the look of these though I don’t necessarily love full-face grooves. Which generation of this wedge do you have? And how is it out of bunkers with the lower bounce?

i just switched from Vokey SM8 to Mizuno T22 after falling in love with the look of the Denim Copper wedges.  Hit them at the range and they feel as good as they look!  Started with just the 56 and 60 and on course have been really impressed with them for full shots and around the green.  The only weakness i see vs the Vokey SM8 is that they are nowhere near as good or consistent out of the bunkers as my SM8 60 deg D grind.   Just something I need to get used too.

 

Also just brought a 50 deg to replace my horrible 223 GW.

I play the 2nd version the hi toe raw. I have not tried the new one but probably will. The low bounce is great out of sand because the sole is wide it doesnt really dig

Curious why you hate the 223 gw? I just got some used 223’s 4-pw and I usually prefer the iron set gw.

The Callaway Jaws Raw 🔥 Wedge play has always been a strength of mine, but I’ve never hit as many great shots as I have with the Jaws Raw. For me, it checks all the boxes:

 

- Flights low on both full and partial shots (probably due to weighting with tungsten) for more control and consistent distance.

- generates plenty of spin and quick stopping power!

- small leading edge chamfer just below the leading edge pretty well eliminates digging.

 

This all means you can be aggressive with the wedge and take dead aim at the flag without the worry of chunking it. It’s the total package!

I am trying a Jaws Raw 54 S grind for all these reasons. The anti-dig refinements are appealing — leading edge chamfer looks good — and I’ve always liked Roger Cleveland’s work. This S grind could be his best.

Those look like Roccos wedges, what grinds did you get?

The 50 and 54 are Mike's S grind.

The 58 is Mike's proto R/DS grind.

The 54 and 58 have a little leading edge bevel as well.

original version of the Callaway PM grind, the second version seemed to have way to much offset to my eye. I have the first edition model in 56,58,60,64 and have min of one and usually two in the bag depending on the rest of my setup at the time. The 64 only appears a few times a year at certain tracks as it can be magic around tough undulated greens

Well firstly I bought it later and separate as an addition to a 5-PW set and the swing weight and feel was way off compared to my 223 set I play my set at +1/2 so have the B heads.  I suspect this is an A head, although I have not measured it.  Consequently I tend to hit it a bit heavy.  I also think it just launches too high and I just do not get the distance I need.  
 

I am not opposed to set Gap Wedges.  I liked the 919 Forged Gap Wedge I had.

 

You should seriously check out the T22 wedges.  I am a total convert.  Either 50 or 52 model should work well as a GW  and even though I play modus 105x shafts in my 223 the stock DG Tour S400 works really well.

Not a fan of set gap wedges either. 

 

I've been a Mizuno iron player for a long time, but a Vokey wedge player. 

 

Yesterday I decided to replace my 54 Vokey with a T22..If I like I will change my 50 out as well.
