Best wedges on the market.

May I ask WHY you like raw rusty finishes on your wedges ?

Now a days the grooves of most modern wedges are very sharp and provides plenty of spin. This removes the old argument of buying raw rusty wedges because they spin more than the standard wedges.

 

I consider getting the new 588 DSG wedges, but I don't like my wedges to rust and and I don't like shiny chrome finishes, amd the 588 DSG is not yet being made in satin chrome finish - so I'll have to wait for Cleveland to make a DSG in satin - OR maybe buy mysefl my first set of RTG rzax rusty wedges !

 

But don't know WHY and IF I would like my wedges to be rusty and worn to look at - so please explain why you like that particular look on a wedge :hi:

 

 

 

I would do gun metal too but mostly I like the raw look. I coke off the rust every few months but my wedges usually take a beating and having the bare naked keeps the look consistent. The raw haze finish wears unevenly. Spin seems the same on all modern wedges.

 

 

 

I also like my irons without paintfill and shaftbands so maybe I am just weird.

I hate chrome on wedges for one, I cannot stand any glare whatsoever from a wedge and prefer stark contrast when lined up to a ball... gunmetal is okay but as Ryun said finishes wear off and leave mutilated looking faces. Rust really is minimal also... it is not as if the rust cakes the entire wedge instantly, therefore upkeep is minimal if you want to keep the rust to a minimum. I use brushes on my clubs after every practice session or round and this keeps my wedges looking the same, not really rusty but dark in appearance.

 

I also hate paintfill... white blegh.

Don't think you're weird because you like raw looking wedges - a lot of poeple like that look. But raw finished wedges just don't spin the ball more than a normal looking chrome wedge - thus the old argument saying that raw wedges span the ball more than chrome wedges did is no more correct.

 

How do you feel about the shiny chrom finish in a wedge ?

It's a mystery to me why Cleveland comes out with a new wedge 588 DSG with a new grind and sharper grooves and then only makes two models of this - one in RTG and one in shiny polished chrome, which will no doubt cause irritation for people like me, who don't like reflection in a wedge.

[abc123tyler]

Does the RTG finish become entirely rusty? or do the seemingly "shiny" parts stay that way... ugh I hope not. I just bought one.. well 90/90d a Spin Milled OC for it at Golfsmith. Can you coke the rtg to make the "finish" on it go away?

..............How do feel about the Vokey 200 tour satin series and the Vokey spin Milled compared to the Mizzie MP's ?

 

And what about the more tear drop shaped Mizuno Mp-T wedges Black Nickel - don't you fancy them too :yess:

 

I kind of like a more tear drop shaped wedge as to a round face, like the Mp series. The new Mizzie MP_R series will be the succesor to your Mp Forged and will also feature a round face.

Don't know if I'm going on the 'round wagon' - I simply like tear drop shapes heads better, but you shall never say never

 

I think the Vokeys are tremendously accurate and well made wedges, but I don't like the crisper feel of them. I like a softer feel like the Mizzies. I've never hit a spin milled Vokey, but would love to try one of their Oilcan versions.

 

As far as Tear vs. Round - I've always liked the way a rounder-shaped head style "centers" the ball. I think Icould easily hit the T series though! :diablo:

Vokeys are in the bag right now. I have been playing around with the Solus wedges, but could see some rac to in the bag soon.

The oilcan Vokeys will rust - do you like a raw wedge with rust spots on the head ?

 

I can't seem to make up my mind whether I should go for an RTG or OilCan style of wedge that will show rust spots easily. I like to buy the new Cleveland DSG 588 wedges, but they only come in two versions - an RTG version that will rust quickly and a shiny chrom version that will cause reflection problems when playing in sunny weather. This is why I like and prefer Satin wedges or wedges with a finish like the Cleveland CG10 black Pearl (that don't rust) and Mizuno Mp-T Black Nickel (that don't rust either)

I do know cally x-tours look very nice and the vintage doesn't rust much, I have had mine over 4 months and it is dark w/o rust.

I second SCRATCH, they'll make anything you want so how can they not be the best. Top quality as well

I started out using chrome 588s, but the chrome wasn't for me. Went to the rac satins and were nice, but bought gunmetal 588s on impulse. The sole grind on the 588s just didnt seem to be as playable as the racs. So here I am now, with the rac black tps and I love them, great black finish and so soft feeling. PLus the face and cavities are sort of starting to rust which is cool!

[abc123tyler]

I really like my rac black 54.10. The c grind sole they put on it just works... feel is crisp yet not harsh like the spin milleds imo.

My VOte is for the Ping Tour Black Nickel wedge, solid weight, soft feel and good control.

 

I used to play the Ping MB which I thought was money, and now scared to try the new IWedge after getting the Ping Tours in 52/56/60.

[odie]

Cleveland CG10's 52*& 56* , no reason to change.

[victork]

Sonartec t35 Wedges with Yoyo grooves will be the best wedge in 2007 !!

 

I agree, the t35's are amazing! Soft feeling, great looking at address and spins the ball without much shredding. The multipurpose grind makes the wedge very versatile.

I have the Cleveland CG10 Black Pearls in the bag right now, and don't see them coming out anytime soon. Love the feel and looks of them. Have the 54 and 60 both are two-dots, wish I would have gotten a lower bounce on the 60 though.

[lysaght68]

Love my MPT BN's. I played 588 Gunmetals for 4 years and made the switch this spring. I really liked my 588's but the Mizzy's do everything at least as well as the 588's with a softer feel and more spin.

i have the mt28 v2 from fourteen golf...luv em luv em luv em!!!

[Rich71691]

spin mill wedge are the best and then the Taylormade satin :yess: :diablo: ;)

But when can I buy the TM Rac Satin TP wedges :)

[Rich71691]

I have heard that they are coming out in a couple of months

[DBake]

Are clevelands for more a teardrop face or a round face?

[bwhitish]

I play a 51 and 56 Cleveland 588 chrome for 4 years and see no reason to change. I love these clubs. They perform great and I love the feel. Probably the most secure clubs in my bag.

[Carlo]

For me these 2 are the best: Yamaha Inpres and Royal Collection (both forged)

[alpha_pro]

so far out of every wedge i have tried, nothing beats my g-field!!

[ijha]

TourEdge Jmax wedges are listed at Golf Digest's Hot List 2006. What a surprise!

Anyone use them? any feedback?

 

Thanks!

[TeeBonZ]

Raw Cleveland 588 TG's. I wish I could find another 60 to have as a backup. I love that club.

 

On a side note toward the other topic. I can't stand chrome wedges :cheesy: .

rac Black TP. i've been pulling off some amazing shots with the TP and ProV1 combo, getting some sick spin on my wedge shots. Great feel, perfect set up, just the right amount of bounce, good looks, non-glare finish.

 

588 DSG RTG's look very promising also.

Check out Custom Grind Wedges by Don Wood (formerly of Cleveland Golf, Wood Bros. Golf and Zevo among others). Don is an incredible craftsman having designed one of the most visually appealling and playable wedges on the market today, and is the holder of several golf club design related patents. I have put 4 of his custom grinds in my bag, and based on their performance I will not go back to a retail wedge having played Cleveland, Titleist, etc. These are not bad wedges, but Don has taken this business and design to a new level. Don or Steve can be reached at forgolfersonly.com. It's worth a visit to their site.
