Har in the Hat Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I don't know why I didn't make this a priority before but my irons are +3/4" in length and 2 degrees upright with stiff shafts. I'm really shaking my head at why I haven't fitted my wedges. The question I want to ask is that I am looking at getting new wedges and would like to know how you guys make them fit into your existing set and flow from the iron's PW . Would you match the shaft length, lie and flex? Would you need to match the flex as the wedges are played at a slower swing speed or just go with the wedge flex? as anyone just matched the specs so they match the irons without a fitting and got good results? The reason I am pondering all this is because of the testing I did with the i500 clubs and because of that testing, it got me thinking more about the clubs themselves instead of solely focusing on the golf itself. thanks guys What's in my Mizuno BR-D2 bag OFFICIAL TESTER FOR THE PING i500 CLUBS.

Mr_Theoo Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 All of my wedges from Pw-60 are the same length. Just how I’ve played them.

revkev Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 My wedges are also all the same length and same shaft flex as my irons with the exception of my 60 which is still steel shafted and a bit heavier than the others (its the club that I rarely hit full.) Wedges are hugely important - for me they are more important than irons and behind only driver and putter for scoring - I would argue that this is more than likely the case for the majority of golfers. You should go to a fitter or do some experimenting to determine what sort of wedge set up works best for you. Tons of variables that might impact your decision making including the course conditions that you normally play in. Prior to switching to a V soled wedge which is very versatile, I had alternate wedges that would sub into my set when conditions changed or if I was playing a different course that required different types of shots (Being able to play year round is a blessing but courses are radically different in Florida from summer to winter/early Spring - you can see them transitioning right now - our rough is finally dormant and once cut won't be the issue it is in the summer months, the fairways are speeding up so that there is some roll but greens are getting firmer by the week - different shots are requires when greens are missed.)

RickyBobby_PR Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Only changes I make to my wedges is to keep them same lie or 1* flatter than I have my irons. Shaft weight and flex usually match my irons or go a tad heavier. I gap them off my pw usually for my gw and sw.

deejaid Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I’ve been giving my wedges a lot of thought lately. I bought my Hogan Ft. Worth irons and matching TK15 wedges and put the same KBS C-Taper Lite shafts in all of them. Because the TK15 wedges are just a continuation of the Ft. Worth irons in head shape, I figured I’d build the wedges as similar as the irons.I play my wedges in .25” increments and distances on full swings are 47*- 125yds, 51*- 110yds, 55*- 95yds, 59*- 80yds, and 63*- 65yds. Now with a head design that was very similar to the irons and the same shafts, full swings were easy with these wedges. Where things started to fall apart were around the green. The C-Taper Lites play stiffer than I like for around the greens.I also don’t like having so many options. I like the 4* gaps in the irons, but in the wedges I probably had been happier if I’d gone 47*-53*-59*.I’m building another set of irons, this time with regular flex shafts with a more active tip section, and plan on going with just two wedges after the PW with that set. Just want to simplify a bit, and I’ve been having some wrist and elbow pain increasing lately, so I’m hoping so softer shafts will help remedy that as well.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk WITB: Stan Thompson “Reactionizer” persimmon woods 1-4 Spalding Tour Edition 3-PW Spalding Top-Flite E.V.A.

GB13 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I play my wedges with the same shafts and the same flex. I like the consistency across the bag. I do play my wedges 1° flatter than my irons to get a better fit around the greens. With a full swing, you create more shaft deflection which makes the lie angle at impact flatter, so you need to play your irons more upright to adjust for the shaft deflection. Around the green, however, you don't generate the same speeds, so you don't have as much shaft deflection to account for. Therefore, I play my wedges a little flatter.

null Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 In general, wedges should have flatter lies than irons. You are going to load and unload the shaft with wedges less than you do with irons, so there will be less natural shaft deflection. Continuing in the same vein, most guys on tour play half a flex less in their SW and LW because they are using those wedges for partial shots more often than not. Link to comment
PlaidJacket Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Aside from my PW which seems to be about 0.25" longer - all my other wedges (52*,56*,60*) are all the same length. I have the same shafts in all my irons Aerotech SF i80. Couldn't tell you about lie angles as I don't know where my spec/build sheet is at this time. But that doesn't matter as when I decide to get new wedges I'll get them from my fitter. He has the specs and knows how to build them.

Mr. 82 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My wedges are a mixed bag and each of the four of them have a different purpose in mind for what I use them for. The 54 and 50 degree are purely for full shots from 100-115 yards respectively so those two are the same type. My PW I use from 125-130, but also for chips around the green. My PW is completely different from all of my other irons as I need one that not only flies good on full shots, but one where I am confident around the greens with it. My 58 is unique in that I use it for a lot of different yardage from about 90 yards and in and from the sand. I swap out my 58 wedge more often than any other club and will get a new one when I lose confidence on those 60 yard half shots that are so crucial to scoring for my game. If I stop having confidence with that 60 yard shot I start looking to replace the 58. It’s a club that is hard for me to keep in my bag for very long. But my current Cleveland RTX mid bounce 58 has been really good to me for almost a year now, so we’ll see how long it lasts. I’ve honestly never looked at the length in conparison for my wedges. I am thinking of the purpose of each wedge versus whatever length it is. As long as it works for it’s purpose, the length doesn’t matter to me.

Terry Koehler advocates the different shape of the TK wedges is to allow for better ball flight on full swings, so, my thinking was that I should keep the 1/2” increments between wedges, just like my irons. With that many wedges though, I realized my 59* and 63* wedges would be getting pretty short if I went with the 1/2” increments so I decided on 1/4” increments.As I said, in theory, it’s sounds smart to have as many lofts as possible in your wedges, but for me it just felt overwhelming. I had too many choices. I’ve also tried playing my wedges all the same length before as well, didn’t like that at all.Now I’m back to having my sand wedge (old Hogan Sand Iron, I believe it’s 57*) as my highest lofted wedge and I’m more confident in making multiple swings with one club, instead of one swing with multiple clubs.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk WITB: Stan Thompson “Reactionizer” persimmon woods 1-4 Spalding Tour Edition 3-PW Spalding Top-Flite E.V.A.

BIG STU Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Generally with me no match. Most of the time I only carry 2 wedges. They will vary in flex and sometimes length. I experiment with wedges a lot. If I get one to feel and hit like I want it to then the shaft flex and length is un important to me. I do a lot of wedge tuning. Generally though I play a stiffer but softer tipped shaft in my wedges. Which gives me a good combo.

Rtracymog Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I use C-Taper 130s in my irons. I’ve tried to use the S+ 125s before and they felt good, but I don’t think that it did much for the spin. In my last set I put KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 in the X flex and I noticed the softer tip, but not much more spin than before. I bought some RTX-4s with just the standard S400 Tour issues and they feel similar to the hi-Revs, but I’m definitely seeing more spin. That might just be the wedge head, but the difference has been noticeable. I’m standard length on all my irons and wedges and I’m one up on the irons and standard on the wedges. I felt like I pulled fewer wedges when they were just a little flatter.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Cortex w/MGS Motore X F1 7X tipped 1" F5 17 degree hybrid w/Rogue Black 85X C300 Forged 3-5 w/C-Taper 130X FG Tour V6 5-6 w/C-Taper 130X Staff Model Blade 7-PW w/C-Taper 130X RTX4 52, 56, 60 w/S400 Tour Issue ER7 Link to comment

You guys are Yes, this is all crazy good information. As I'm finally paying attention to my golf game, I really went through a lot of studying before making my last purchase on wedges. My C300s stop at a 48* gap wedge, and after some conversation with jlukes in another thread, I decided to start with a 54* and 60* setup starting out. Someday I may go to 52/56/60, but I think for my purposes and goals this will work just fine. The C300s are a little long to begin with (1/2", I think), but I looked up the specs for the optional SW (35.50") and had both the 54* and 60* built to that length by Golfworks, using KBS Hi-Rev regular shafts. I don't anticipate hitting too many full on shots, and somewhere I read Tom Wishon actually advocates going softer in flex for most wedges, so hopefully this all works out. I may need to tinker with some counterweighting as these wedges are going to come in around D8 swingweight, which is six points higher than the GW and all of the other irons in the set. The idea of "Tiger stepping" seems like something worth experimenting with, and is certainly something I'd consider in the future.

RickyBobby_PR Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 There’s a bunch of pros who play x100 shafts in irons and s400 in their wedges. Others have one brand in their irons and a different brand and weight in wedges. It really comes down to what each person wants to do. As I contemplate going back to recoils I’ll have 110s in my irons and wedge proto 125s from gw thru lw Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment
Calvo90 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I have a funny setup that would make any club fitter's eyes roll but it sort of suits me. In my irons I play Nippon NS PRO 950GH whereas in my wedges (Cleveland RTX-3) I play stock DG S300 shafts which are almost 50% heavier than my iron shafts. It doesn't make much sense, I know, but as I said, I kind of like it. Wedges I play are basically blades and heavier shafts help me make better contact with the ball on full and shorter swings. Also, stock wedge shafts that come with Cleveland RTX-3 are just 0,125'' shorter wedge to wedge whereas usually there is 0,25'' difference between wedges. It basically feels like swinging the same club regardless of the loft. I don't advocate replicating my setup at any means, just saying tastes vary from golfer to golfer.
