Philly Golf Guy Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 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.

dang3rtown Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 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.

Kenny B Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 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. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 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. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smalls1588 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 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.

Shifty Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 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 Sent from my Pixel using MyGolfSpy mobile app 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.
