    New shafts needed for wedge set

    I ended up picking up a set of wedge heads and now needing new shafts to put in these badboys. What would you recommend? The wedge set is the 685BX.

    Will also be asking if someone could build them for me as well... Any point in getting the wedge set fitted prior to getting the shafts put in?

    I'd just put the same as what you have in your irons.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

    From what I was reading they say to stiffen it on the wedges though? Not true?

    Depends on what you like.

    Myself, I play my 52/56/60 1/4" shorter than my PW but with the same tip trim.

    I have three new Vokey shafts that I will be pulling shortly (to be replaced with PX 5.5s). I am going to pull the grips as well, but you are welcome to the shafts (for free) if you want.

    Hey, I would be interested in those if they would work in my wedges. Any idea what the tip size is?

    Thanks btw! Awfully nice of you

    Vokeys are .355 taper, I think you will need .370 for your heads.

    ah, so does that mean they will not work at all?

    Either way Gap, if your still interested in those let me know and they are yours.

    Correct on both counts - should have checked before making the offer. However, offer is still open if you want to use brass shims and 24 hr epoxy. Some might advise against this, though.

    I've done it and never had any problems. However if I recall correctly there was a law suit in States for improper installation.
