I finally found this wedge I like at the price I want, but it comes with a S300 (stiff) shaft and I play with regular, baring in mind its a gap wedge at 52/07 will I be able to play with it?

I know it sounds like only a question I could answer, knowing my own abilities, but I have never used stiff shafts so I don't know the difference.

Nearly all wedge shafts come as stiff as this helps promote accuracy and that is the aim with a wedge and not distance so you should be fine with the stiff shafts.

That's not correct at all.

If you buy into Pelz's ideas, the wedges should have a more flexible shaft for feeling the clubhead. I can't tell you whether this will work for you.

I would generally suggest shafts in your wedges consistent with what you play in your other clubs. I'd be nervous about going stiffer, but it comes down to how YOU swing the golf club (not just how fast, but how).
