I'm currently using a Sub 70 wedge

Scorching deal, I'm hunting for the AD DJ. Like a damn unicorn. Good luck

After watching the txg video on Edison wedges yesterday I am intrigued, but really they are a hard no for me at that price point. Still, I'm rooting for them to work for you. I think I'm going order the Costco wedges and see if I can bend them 2 degrees strong. 3 wedges for $170 has me more interested than 1 for $200.

Yeah, i just watched it. Thanks for the link. The CG definitely plays a role. Looking at the shots they got, I don't know that the Mizuno or SM8 had any difference in performance. very similar for sure.

Definitely can see why you go with Ping needing those specs. There are a few forged wedges out there that could be made to that spec, but it does look like Pings have the best wet weather spin retention of any brand. So you get that.

Obviously Matt and Ian were following this thread and wanted to give some input. I still don't think I can justify almost twice the price for an edison over a Sub70. Were you sold on this?

I switched to Mid-size a few years ago, and I'm happy with that change. Much less wrist pain, and less tendency to pull the ball left. Also, I wear a Cadet-M glove, so on all the grip size charts I should use an undersized. The feel and club awareness come back after a few rounds, just takes a little getting used to.

That does sound good...

The most important question asked today

Never give up on the cookie

The most wanted 2019 wedge article @GolfSpy MPRlinked in the 2nd post of this thread actually talks about it.

I wasn't trying to make a Sub70 fan forum here guys... Lol.

Yeah yeah yeah. Why did you get a sub 70 wedge? I know you've had good luck with the 699 Pro's, decided to give their wedge a try too? The cookie has not been decided yet, but you are in the running.

If they had a 50/54/58 option I'd have ordered them!

yes? I see that is the marketing pitch, and Cleveland has done it with the 1 dot, 2 dot, 3 dot series. But does it? @GolfSpy MPR I will send a dozen cookies, fresh girl scout samoas if you can get a test to see if there is any difference here. Looking at the wedge marketing and the claims of improved spin from one year to the next and comparing it to driver marketing... if it was true I would be getting so much backspin on wedge shots that I would be leaving scorch marks on the greens.

I get the need to find the right bounce/grind and a fitting can find that. But if I know I need a 58/8 wedge.... you kinda summed up my thoughts, they are all basically the same material and the same shape, how much different can they really be? Adam has talked about putters being "wall hangers" I guess I've always thought of wedges as basically the same. I know Vokeys are great, I know Bettinardi's are great. But aren't they just in the same category as Scottys in terms of more wall art then worth using? (note, not trying to single those two out for any reason other than they are popular, throw in any brand you want).

this... isn't a lie.

So far price is the winning answer. Come on, someone win a cookie and give a great reason!

okay, that is exactly where I am at. I also have Sub70, and I got it because of price. And having used it, I can't come up with any reason to spend more on a wedge than it costs. I'm fishing for someone to give me a reason to spend more money. So far, you are winning the contest for the cookie.

Okay, so you win. And I'm going through this now... .. basically every wedge is 8600 rpm +- 200 and 32.5 +- 1 degree of launch. And also, I fully understand that 1 will work better for someone than another. Just like one Anser putter works better for someone than another. let me ask this differently, what differences led you to pick the wedge(s) you have over any other brands 588 clone?

MMT shafts, those sound good. Did you order the P, 8 & 6 as the Pings and the 9,7,5 as Srixon? A truly indecisive mix bag?

Tony C might kick me off the forums for this. But I really believe that a standard 588 style wedge has zero difference from one brand to another. I am not talking about the bounce and grind options that make one different from another, I get that . Alsohaving used them, I can attest to the differences between a CBX2 wedge and a 588 clone. I've used the Sub70, Mac Daddy Forged, Mizuno, Ping, Cleveland, TM and Vokey wedges. Besides for the Vokeys feeling clicky, I don't think I could tell a discernible difference. They are all basically the exact same shape and weight. I'm looking for a new 54 and 58 right now, and I need someone to explain why any brand is any different than any other. An Anser style putter is an Anser style putter. Without face tech they are only separated by levels of shinny. Aren't basic wedges the same? I'm not trying to incite a riot here, just after 4 years of Forums, I need some more education on why I would pick one over the other. I love the Sub70 I have, it replaced some used Mac Daddy Forged wedges. If they were the same finish, I couldn't tell you the difference between them. And looking at wedges in the store this week, I mean its the same wedge in 7 different finishes and at 5 different price points. I looked back, and apparently MGS also feels they are the same and warrant no testing, because as far as I can see, there has never been a Most Wanted Wedge test. I'll probably just order some more Sub70 because the are the least expensive. But if one of you can convince me there is an actual difference, I will ship you a cookie as a thank you.

Also, I can't imagine you( @fixyurdivot) got to try the ZX4's before ordering, which would instantly make anything you ordered obsolete. See, he isn't getting new clubs folks, this was all a lie.

I'm still calling his bluff. They will arrive, he will look at them take a picture. Then decide, that for that same amount of money he could put really fancy Paderson Golf shafts in his 410s and have those going forward, and maybe make the 410s everything he thought they would be in the first place. That said, the box that will be showing up before he sends it back will say Srixon on the outside. And as much as he wanted to not have a Ping just to not have a Ping, he really wanted a Ping and fooled himself thinking he could order a Srixon and sleep at night. But it would be a false sleep, full of regret and remorse.

As a side gig during these stuck at home covid times, my wife started making head covers out of old Hawaiian shirts, team jerseys, goodwill finds, etc. I like them alot. But I am biased #2nd_cut_customs on Instagram
