HardcoreLooper Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I've played with custom-fit irons that are 2* flat for almost a decade. But my sand and lob wedges are stock standard lie. No good reason for this; I've just always bought them off the rack. I really need a new sand wedge. Shouldn't I special order it to my usual specs?

lou mcconaughey Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 You need to hit some before you buy. My irons are standard loft and lie but my 55* and 60* are 1 flat. I was fitted for them and that's how they came out according to my swing. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy HardcoreLooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTexGolfer Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Get fit if possible just to be sure. I have 1 degree upright irons but use standard wedges. If I go flat like many say you “have†to I flare all my full shots out to the right. Shaft will make a huge difference as well of course.

mooremikea Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I am not a fitter but have read a few places that wedges should be flatter than your irons. This also depends on your miss as well. In general if a club is too upright the miss will be left, and too flat the miss will be right.

revkev Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 No ones asked the important question of - how do you hit them? Have you had issues with hitting them left? Plus “standard†lies on wedges are often a bit flat so going 2 degrees may be more than that. Either get fit or get them neutral, see the results and adjust from there.

I don't have a problem with hitting them left, at least not according to my stats in Golf Pad. My biggest problem with them is chunking/thinning less-than-full shots. revkev 1 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (13.5*) - 980F 4 Wood (18*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) 52* - CBX 58* - CBX Full Face 2 Putter - Craz-e Bag - 2.5 (Blue) Ball - AVX Instagram - @hardcorelooper Twitter - @meovino Facebook - mike.eovino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGolf Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 You can have the adjusted if you don't like the way if they are performing. do a lie test with a fitter if for nothing else peace of mind.

HardcoreLooper Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Join the club - I doubt that's the lie though - probably the dreaded deceleration. Oh yeah, that's absolutely deceleration due to lack of practice and my having the touch of an axe murderer. And with our little short game playground, there's really no excuse for it, other than that I'm not making the time I need to. I'm in the market for new wedges because mine are so old and the grooves are wearing down. tony@CIC and revkev 2 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (13.5*) - 980F 4 Wood (18*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) 52* - CBX 58* - CBX Full Face 2 Putter - Craz-e Bag - 2.5 (Blue) Ball - AVX Instagram - @hardcorelooper Twitter - @meovino Facebook - mike.eovino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtracymog Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 All wedges are pretty easy to bend even though they are cast. It's a 5 minute adjustment.

How does that affect the normal yardage for say a 50 degree wedge? Does the extra shaft length affect overall carry?

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Not sure...? A normal 50° is around 35.5†I think on average. My 9 iron is 36â€, so a half inch. Maybe a yard or couple yards? The new 61° will be an inch longer, I mostly did that to lower the swing weight from D5, I like around D3, and if my calculations are correct it should be right around that. Might get 3-5 more yards there? Probably more spin. Launch will be slightly higher if what I read is true. So in summary I doubt I'll see anything different.
