    I am looking for some opinions on what wedges I should get. Looking for 52, 56, and 60 with higher bounce. My ping wedges are getting outdated and not my preferred bounce. I am very interested in possibly a Hi-toe because I have heard great things. If anyone have tried the Hi-toe 3 and can let me know how it is that would be great. But, I am also open to hearing other opinions or if anyone has any for sale that can be shipped new or used.

    Recently I have bought the Callaway X-forged cavity backs from 2020. I went to hit some different irons at Dick's Sporting Goods and found that I hit the newer cavity backs way better than any Mizuno or Taylormade. I decided to go with the 2020 version because I found a great deal on Callaway pre-owned and I can say they were a great choice. The feeling of them is much better than my previous set (especially coming from super game improvement irons) and even though the club face is smaller, my ball striking seems much more consistent. The only thing I would change is getting graphite shafts instead of the dynamic gold steel shaft.

    Evan VandeWater got a reaction from Michael.Sandoval33 in Intro and my bag   
    Hi! I am just joining and wanted to share my bag! To start, I have the Callaway Paradym at 10.5 degrees and stiff graphite shaft for my driver. I recently got it in July and I still have some getting used to. I have only been playing for two years and used a majority of hand me down clubs to start. One of those being my previous driver that was a an old ping with a senior flex. I eventually got used to the flex but then switched to the Paradym and stiff shaft. So I got some more adjusting but I do love the driver. After that I have a Taylor RBZ 3 wood. This is probably my least used club in the bag because I don’t hit it the best. If you have any tips please let me know. Then my club below that is a taylormade burner 4 hybrid. I love this club and the only thing I would change is the shaft because it is regular flex but I like stiff better. Next is my irons which are Callaway x-forged cb irons. I decided to go up to a player iron from my previous game improvements due to my approach being the best part of my game and I am so glad I did. The feeling of the irons and the contact I can make with them is amazing and they are my favorite part of my bag. I tested the 2023 apex cavity backs and hit them better than anything else at the simulator so I decided to go with the 2020 x-forged because they were more affordable. I have 5-PW with these as well. Lastly, I have ping wedges 52, 56, and 60. I believe they are W bounce but non the less I love how they feel and the 60 degree has to be up there with my favorite in my bag. Overall, I would give my bag a 8.5 and am looking to upgrade my wedges to a newer model of any brand along with my 4 hybrid. Please let me know some options for wedges!

    This years forum testing has included PING S159, Vokey SM10 as well as upcoming Callaway Opus. These are all fantastic wedges and do not include other great options from TaylorMade, Mizuno and Cleveland (among others).
    Everyone has their own preferred look and if that isn’t exclusionary criteria, then hit as many as possible. 
     
    Regarding bounce, you’ll be limited on the Gap to 8/10/12 degrees depending on which loft and brand you select.

    There was also an Edison wedge test last fall i was a part of.  I liked them enough to game them and buy a third wedge to the two they provided for the test.  I have 49, 53 & 57.  The sole is a dual grind for bounce versatility.

I went to hit some different irons at Dick's Sporting Goods and found that I hit the newer cavity backs way better than any Mizuno or Taylormade. I decided to go with the 2020 version because I found a great deal on Callaway pre-owned and I can say they were a great choice. The feeling of them is much better than my previous set (especially coming from super game improvement irons) and even though the club face is smaller, my ball striking seems much more consistent. The only thing I would change is getting graphite shafts instead of the dynamic gold steel shaft.
