Interesting thread. I have a slow swing speed (80 or less with a driver) and currently use and like Recoil 95 F3s in my CBX4 wedges (I prefer heavier wedges). I recently acquired a Tour Edge Wingman 56* M/N wedge which I like everything about....except the steel shaft which I'm planning to switch out for graphite and recalled some of the reviews which I have read on these shafts over the years. 

After reading the company's website, I'm still not sure of the appropriate flex, but would like something around the same weight and am open to suggestions. 

Couple of ways you can go. The RTi 95 in R flex. For that 56° I would trim it as an 8iron. 

You could also go with the dedicated wedge shaft. The RTI 100 W. It's rated at stif but it's a wedge shaft so it plays soft. 

If I was building it I would go with the 95g for you.

Good morning!

Switched to graphite 7 years ago and have often thought of switching back but I was eventually fit for a shaft that works.  The trade off has been I have lost a club with my irons.

@Popeye64 - Thanks for your informative reply! the RTi 95 sounds like a good suggestion. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but IIRC "trimming it like an 8i" is soft stepping which would make the shaft somewhat more flexible, correct?
