Wedges Review

[big easy]

Like some other websites making reviews of golf clubs, I am interested to know which wedge(s) you consider are the best on the market. Finally, companies like Callaway and Ping released wedges that have a traditional look (like Cleveland and Titleist Vokey, i.e. looks like forged wedge with no cavity back or not oversize). However, I know that some people would do everything to own a Ping Eye 2 Wedge (Beryllium). I personally hate the look of this wedge and I never got used to it.

I had several wedges (Titleist Vokey, Cobra Trusty Rusty, Cleveland RTG and BeCu, Snake Eyes and Yonex PM) and last year I bought a Cleveland 588 GunMetal 51* and it is probably now the best club in my bag. I am so confident with this club that I have decided to buy a 56*.

Now that we know how many wedges you carry (other thread), it would be interesting to know which one you really prefer.

[el tigre]

The wedge I prefer is a my 52* Pure Spin gap wedge. I use it for chipping and for 80-100 yard shots. I'm surprised you do not have Pure Spin as an option - their diamond-face wedges are well-known and quite popular.

& what about the PELZ series. My buddy loves 'em!!!

Tough Question?

My wedges are part of my EV0 845 set. The irons are cavity back but all the wedges (4) are solid. I have learned to use these and I'm not sure if something else may work better. I don't hit a shot with much spin, but I've hit a lot of good shots with them.

I'm not one to jump to a new club when I hit a bad shot. I manage to keep my Hcp in the single digits. I believe it is a matter of confidence much like a putter. When your concentration is good, you are likely to make a good shot.

Why do you have Cobra and Titleist together?

[davevandyk]

Why do you have Cobra and Titleist together?

I assume its just cause they are both the same company, although they do make completely different wedges.

[challengegolf]

I used to have Vokey and switched this year to Merit zero bounce on the 52* and 60* and it fits my golf swing perfectly as of now (tried them out a couple of times).

Bought a set from member on the TO site, trusty rusty's by cobra, last summer.
53,57,61.
I love them so much gonna buy a set of used ones (can't find new) and put them in storage for when mine wear out.

Does one own the other?

[Big Johnny69]

Acushnet owns both Titleist and Cobra.

last year I bought a Cleveland 588 GunMetal 51* and it is probably now the best club in my bag. I am so confident with this club that I have decided to buy a 56*.

I scored one at Chuck's about 1-2 weeks ago. Can't wait to try it on real turf! If I fall in love with it, wich will probably happen, I'll seriously consider switching from my trusty rusty 55* for a 588 56*.

[Ginker]

Just picked up a couple Vokey Spin Milleds and oh man.. I love em.. After the round saturday two of the guys in my group wanted to know what those wedges were.. Too bad I don't sell them cause I woulda sold some on the spot..

I agree El Tigre, I loved my PS 52° wedge and my 56°. They were awesome. The only problem was that the face was flaking. I bought mine at "Loblaws" beleive it or not for dirt cheap. GT also had them on sale, I think $70.00 for all 3.

[EWhelan]

I have 588's (Gunmetal) in 51(GW), 56(SW) and 60(LW). Excellent wedges. Even though Cleveland has come out with the CG11's and CG12's, 588's are still very popular.

[dan_670_12]

i dont think there is CG12's im preety sure it only CG10's and 11's

[EWhelan]

Yes, my mistake CG's 10's and 11's

[MusicMan]

I love my CG10's good spin great balance... wished i had waited till the black pearls came out, but hey satin aint thaaaat bad...

[shovellover]

I voted non-oem. KZG makes the sweetest wdges i've ever tried.

[KickerOfElves]

This early in the season I can blade every wedge with equal proficiency!

Voted TM, but added a Callaway X-Tour MD 60* to the bag recently...

[Type R 1090]

Bought a Callaway Forged + 60* last year. Loved it so much, I recently added a 54* to replace the 55* SW from my Taylormade 200 irons.

[prophet]

Currently play Vokeys,52*,60* but I am thinking of changing to SMT durometer series

[allanhouston90]

Acushnet owns both Titleist and Cobra.

Fortune Brands owns acushnet BTW

[Big Johnny69]

OK, Fortune Brands owns Acushnet, which in turn owns/produces Titleist and Cobra. No biggie.

There's a wedge review in the new Golf Digest or Golf Magazine, I can't remember which one.....Cleveland came out on top.

[fundonny]

Cleveland always comes out on top, they're the gold standard. Golf Magazine 2006 club test, and I assume every year before that too.

I was looking at replacing my wedges this year. I have the LCG PW and SW that match my old irons(695CB's on order). I played three times this year so far, and the best part of my game has been my SW from 100 yards and in, so I think I'll hold off on those Clevelands for a while.

[Ginker]

I would recommend the vokey spin milled.. They are sweet... But they chew balls like crazy!

[fireice]

Picked up a 200 series Vokey(60 degree - 12 bounce) and a 400 series Vokey(56 degree- 14 bounce) from Nomad Golf WRX, sweet wedges.

[John]

I bought two new TaylorMade Rac Black TP wedges this year and i couldn't love them anymore. Feel, spin and looks are all perfect and they aren't bad with chewing up balls. Get em and i promise you will love them.

OK, Fortune Brands owns Acushnet, which in turn owns/produces Titleist and Cobra. No biggie.

And Fortune of course, is owned by the Masons. Ever looked really close at the Titleist logo? Seriously, take a look... I hear that this is what Dan Brown is basing his sequel on...

Not.
