The Cleveland CG14 wedges can be had now for $89. I am considering buying one, but am wondering whether I would be better off waiting because of the groove rule change and new wedges might leave the CG14 quickly obsolete. Is this wedge likely to stand the test of time?

The Cleveland wedges for $89 aren't that great of a deal. Look around and you can get premium wedges brand new for like $60-70. The new rule changes won't be a problem for most people.

I don't think the new wedge rule will effect the price of old wedges as for the common guy You(unless you are are pro) can play the high spin wedges till 2024, so there may even be a rush on buy the current stock before the low spin wedges come out in 2010.

Just forget everything you think you know about grooves and spin. Neither you (nor I) consistently hit the wedges good enough to get maximum spin anyway. Far more than groove design is at work here. The ball is a HUGE part of the equation too. But technique trumps grooves and the ball of choice in my opinion. You will play with what they make and sell (just like me).


Now focus...

Go get a wedge set you like and can hit well. Look for feel. Remember, these are scoring clubs. About 4 months back I got a brand new set of Cleveland 588 DSG wedges (52, 56, & 60) in gunmetal finish for $209. Bought them from a golf shop (Maple Leaf) on Ebay and had them in my hands 5 days later. Best wedges I have used, easy to hit, tons of feel, etc.. Fantastic wedges and I recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality set. Link below...

Just bought 2 new TM Rac Chrome wedges 3 weeks ago 52 degree and 56 degree.. I agree there is no magical wedge out there. Find some clubs that you feel comfortable with and like the looks of at approach.

Going from my ping zing knock of sand wedge to these was a dream... I think mainly my confidence with the new club went up the the low MOI and great feel help immensly.

Whats in my bag:

Driver: 10.5 degree R7 Limited OZIK Stiff Shaft
Woods: Raw Distance 2007 3 & 5 Woods w/ Aldila NV-RD Stiff Shafts
Irons 4-PW: ***Tour Model III*** Ping Zing 2 Knock Offs Wedges: Rac Chrome 52 & 56 Degree Wedges, Tour Pro Z-Groove 60 degreePutter: White Hot XG 2-Ball SRT 34"...

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
