Shankster Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 After some time to digest. I can’t believe I thought the Taylormade P7CB was chunky. I really wanted to like this iron. And… I’m going to call Brandon and ask what his thoughts about going with the 620CB over the T100S are. Max height was similar, but with the more traditional lofts, I wouldn’t have to mess around with the Vokey 48° wedge, and it would open the top of the bag to the hotter faced irons (T100)s. Studpid idea? JohnSmalls, cnosil, sirchunksalot and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackdaddy Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 On 6/19/2022 at 7:50 PM, Shankster said: Wedges: A part of my game that I used to rely heavily on, in fact I used to miss greens on purpose so I could pull off a Seve-Esq shot. Today, I am much smarter than that, and a really good putter, so the wedges have the mop up duty when I hit a poor iron shot, or one of those elusive lay ups. I don’t find my way to the bunker very often, again this part of my game is fading because of lack of practice at it. The new course I’ll be playing is riddled with bunkers, so I imagine this part of my game will be relied on again. Wedges I have had in play. Taylormade Tour Preferred, Cobra KING, Bridgestone Tour B’s (thanks MGS), PING Glides, Vokey Sm6 54° & 58°, Vokey SM8 48°, a Cleveland Zip Core 48° (Thanks MGS). Oh and a Hi-Toe 56° TM wedge. Maybe a few others Out of all of these wedges, I probably liked the BStones the best. They were so buttery, and really opened up my creative side for wedges. I did like the shape of the TM TP’s the best though, with the Cobra’s in a close 2nd. I must be an outlier, but I find Vokey’s to be oddly shaped, so while not out of the running for a spot in the bag, they will be down the list. Really hoping the Mizuno T22 wins this spot, but I’m open to all brands except Callaway, Cleveland, and PXG here. Cleveland because the are just too bulky for my taste. Check out Renegar wedges you will thank me later.
