Hi guys,

I'm looking for a 52° wedge to fill in the gap between my 48° PW and 56° SW.
These are the ones that are on my list:
- Titleist 200 Series (they don't have a 52° in SM version)
- Cleveland CG12
- Cleveland DSG
- Callaway X-Tour
They don't have them all in stock at my local Pro Shop, so I can't really try before I buy (except for the Titleist and the CG12).
Which one would you think would be the best one for a high handicapper like me?

Thanks in advance,

KN

I recommend Nike. I don't think as many people play them as Titleist or Cleveland but I just love the feel of the SV Tour wedges. I bought a SV Tour Gap 52 last year and it become my favorite club. I chipped in 2X with it and can stick it closer then any other wedge. It puts good spin on the ball, not too much and not too little. Also an added bonus is that they are about 10-20 bucks cheaper then Cleveland CG12 and Titleist Vokey.

I just bought Tommy Armour Silver Scot 52deg.

Feels allright (and looks good) and has a really good pricetag .

Well, I went to the Pro Shop today and bought the Cleveland CG12 (chrome finish). I tried it at the chipping green and it felt really good. If I still like it after a couple of weeks I'll probably get a 60° too later this year.

Which ones do you have now? Try and find the one you have right now to keep the feel the same. If it is worn out or old, get new ones, but all the same type and model to keep it consistent.

Cleveland CG12 with the ZIP grooves---i dont know of any other wedge

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

If I were in your position I'd try to match whatever was in my bag first. I love Vokey wedges. I may be adding a 50-degree gap soon as I've got a 45- and 54-degree gap to fill. Damn modern PW lofts!

Vokeys are the best yes...The Vokey 200 series i think were the best set of wedges every made and that includes spin mill and oil can

Uhm, so does anyone else see the contradiction here? I think r7 has gotten to the point where he's almost parodying himself.

I'd vote for the Vokeys. Either the 200 series (several lofts available, including 52) or you could bend a spin milled two degrees if you'd like. The prior option is preferred. I reviewed the CG12 and didn't find them to be that incredible. I'll have a review of the Mizuno wedges up soon (a month or so) too, but can't really give an opinion of those yet.

this guy is hilarious. i wonder what's he gonna say next?

I'd say Adams Tom Watson wedge set! I don't know any other wedges!! But, I picked vokey over cg12 and cg14. They just seem to feel a tiny little bit softer. Seriously though, Tom Watson set isn't half bad if you have a limited budget

The rac TP Black wedge with Y-cutter grooves I have is really nice. Lots of spin and workable. I haven't tried it in 52 degrees but the 60 is plenty nice.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
