How would you compare Titleist and Cleveland wedge? I am currently use my brother's cleveland wedges, and really like it... I am thinking about trying something else, but still, not sure yet.

Both are great wedges. I like the look of the Clevelands a little better at address and I seem to have a better feel for the clubhead. Of course, that's completely subjective though. Vokey spin was a little greater than the Clevelands. Playing a ProV1, I can control the spin a little better with the Clevelands. Honestly, you won't go wrong with either one.

I would say that Cleveland has wedges down to a science, and they have the best feel and control around the greens. The spin is just right and I love my black pearl version of the CG12 and the chrome as well!

Personally I hate cleveland wedges I found that the cg12 50* had no spin and it was pointless because it went a couple of feet farther than my 54* vokey

Check out scratch wedges, if you can wait one month, they have cast wedges coming out in may for $100, and new 1018 forged wedges for $150, they will custom fit you and are great to deal with.-AB

Easy answer - Vokey all the way!!! On the lofts, you should go with a 60 degree or 58 degree for lob wedge and that will determine your sand wedge loft as well. If you go with the 60 pick the 56 and if you go with the 58 pick the 54. Hope that helps...

I've gotta give some love to the SV Nike Wedges..... cause they are nice!

I went w/ their gun metal finish in my two new wedges, and they are sharp looking! and bite on a dime..... the feel of them are second to none as well....

I know the Vokey's and Cleveland's wedges get all the love but the SV wedges from Nike need to be at least considered....

Personally Titleist wedges are not something I like. To me they feel like swinging a shovel... just my opinion, alot of people love them. Cleveland, Scratch, or Solus just feel better to me, but you would have to try them. If you already like your bros cleveland...

I play Cleveland 588 DSGs.... $109 at any Dicks or Dunhams. I love the dynamic sole grind for playing different shot shapes and types. Why more people don't play a progresive soul is a mystery to me. Wedge play has become one of my strengths since buying these. Easy to be creative. On the lofts my vote is for 54* and 60*.

This probably wont effect you, but next year the Vokey's "Spin-mill" technology is not going to be allowed on tour.
But you cant go wrong either way, just try them both out.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
