How do you select your wedges?


Recommended Posts

I'll try it out either in a hitting bay or outside and get a feel how it feels on chips, full shots and when I open up the face. If that's good, then I'll buy one at around 56* and play it for a few rounds. If all goes well, then I'll buy other lofts I need. If it's not a fit, I'll sell it and keep looking.

 

It's been a good way of making sure the wedges are a fit.

I'll say this, when buying wedges, avoid picking a club based only on hitting off mats! Turf/sand interaction is more important to a wedge than any other club and the bounce that works on a mat is likely to be much different than actual playing conditions.

Yeah I bought some Ping I200s this year 5-UW and the lofts are roughly 4 degrees apart. I purchased some used Ping Glide wedges in 54 and 58 but it looks like the distance gap UW and 54 is roughly the same.

There is a 4* gap between your i200 UW and your 54* Glide.  If your yardage gaps are not correct between the two, it may be the shaft.

Just looked at looks like the CFS wedge flex is right because they are Glide wedges if I went Glide 2.0 then it would be AWT but has same ratings hmmm not sure wish there was a demo day man when I lived in Hawaii there was a demo day every week

This is going to sound horrible, but my last set of Vokeys I've been gaming, I just ordered them. Looking back at it I was delusional but, luckily, I love them.

I find a look that I like and am comfortable with, then I check how it feels. If a wedge passes those tests then I will check the loft and bounce options. That's how I ended up with my Titleist Vokey SM5's

pretty much how I got my sm5's.  I worked out my grinds/bounce with my instructor, and bought his recommendations (actually unsure what they are, lol) I had first gotten a 50, 54, and 58.  And when I was in Palm Springs this winter I tried a 62 and bought it instantly.  I took the hybrid out of the bag and never looked back.  Now the 62 is the most used one, and I use the 58 out of sand.  With 4 wedges you are never stuck on which club to use, as literally all the tools are there.
