Mimz Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm a big guy, 6"5 245. I bought a new set of Wedges ( Cobra trusty rustys) at the turn of the year for a steal of a price. My irons are 1 1/2 long 3 deg upright but I haven't gotten around to changing the lie or putting extensions in my wedges. So people have said that's normal and others have scoffed and said that propostorus. Just wondering what your thoughts on it are.

RoverRick Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 A wedge is not like irons. You are probably not taking full swings with the wedges and since you have had them this long you have adjusted your partial swing to make up for it. Full swing it would make a difference.

xxio Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Wedges are personal. I already play my irons a little flat. My wedges even more. I find flatter wedges are easier to open up for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmon Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Along the same lines as those above me, from what I have learnt from my teaching pro it really depends on how you are going to be using the wedges, and since the majority of shots are usually partial or chips they require a different set up to your irons Driver: Titleist 907 D2 7.5* Aldila VS Proto Shaft 65 X Fairway Woods: Titleist 980F 19* Pro Trajectory stock Titleist 4375 R shaft (desperately need to replace) Irons: Taylormade LT2's 3-PW S300 dynamic golds Sand Wedge: Vokey 56* 256 10 Oil can 8620 finish True temper shaft Lob Wedge: Shark 64* wedge True temper shaft Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2 blade, 303 GSS Insert, 35'' 330g 4*L 71*L Ball: Pro VI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markb Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 My irons are long and bent 2° up. I had to bend them until they went straight. But my wedges are stock lengths and went straight without alteration.

Ace of Clubs Golf Co. Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 As a master club fitter for many years, I can say that most professional golfers choose their wedges to have a little "flatter" lie angle than the rest of their irons. Also, if your current iron set is 1.5" over standard length, and your new wedges are standard length, your wedges should play to a "flatter" lie angle than the rest of your iron set by default. Just remember that their are two facets to club fitting; Static Measurements and On Course Results. Static measurements are what fitting reccomendations you would receive from a chart considering your height, wrist to ground measurement, etc.. While static measurements are important, the on course results are really what you want to concentrate on. Test your new wedges on the course and see what results you get. Track the different shots you have in a typical round and write down their results to see if you can reveal any undesired tendencies. If you are unsatisfied with the wedge game results for any reason, consult your local club fitter to discuss gapping, length, lie and bounce. Remember the whole idea is to find what best suites your style of play and preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimz Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks for the awesome feedback! Looks like I'll be keeping them standard for now and see what the gaping is like when the new irons arrive!
