I play Cleveland wedges. CG10's to be exact

54* with 1 dot (low bounce 8*) because I like using it around greens on tight lies.

56* with 2 dots (mid bounce I think 10*) for general use and various lies.

58* with 3 dots (high bounce) for sand, and rough, and I also hit flop shots out of the rough with it.

This is the setup I have played for a long time, and it seems to be all in all a good battle plan for most any situation, but I want to buy some new wedges and stick with the Cleveland brand, but I can never find any that have the current setup I have now.

I always see 58* and 60* lob wedges with low bounce 1 dot or maybe 2. and 54* with high bounce 2 or 3 dots. its exactly backwards from what i am use to. makes me feel like my wedge setup is wrong. I know everyone is different and I should get the setup that feels correct to me, but I was just curious if anybody else runs across this problem?

or maybe i need to change my loft/bounce up a little?

I know this topic has been beaten with a stick probably.

People usually do have the reverse bounces on their wedges compared to what you have.

What you can do is buy a stronger lofted wedge like a 52 in as low of a bounce as possible and then bend the loft to a 54... this will lower the bounce as well... get it?

Not sure what the loft is on the MP 32 PW in your set. Do you possibly use the PW as more of a 10-iron (full shots) than a wedge?

As for your CG10 trio, it looks like you have a distinct purpose for each club. I'm curious as to why you have only 2° difference between each. Do you have a set distance range for each wedge, or do you mainly rely on touch for each shot?

Many players have moderate bounce on their GW (generally 50-52 °) and high bounce on their SW (54-56°) for use mainly as a bunker club. As for LW, the bounce thing is wild - I run into an even mix high, medium and low bouncers for LW. (Still haven't decided to add a LW to my bag, although I have a good looking promo model in the closet.)

On bounce: There's measured bounce and effective bounce. For details on bounce and wedges....

If you set-up works, keep it. After all, you're the one with the 7 HDCP.

Thanx for the input guys. I do use my pitching wedge for full swing shots, I rarely use it to chip with. as fas as my cg10's are I have a specific yardage I like to hit the 58* and the 56*. The 54* I use as my feel club and I hit various shot with it from around the green to 110 yards.

I do like to hit my 58* from bunkers and I should probably start using my 56* instead.

I get what you mean Verse, and its a good idea, but if you bend a 52* to a 54* I think the bounce will go up...correct?

Correct.

The point I think Verse is making is that this may be more applicable to the lob wedge setup. You should be able to get/bend a high bounce lob wedge, even though they don't really make a ton of them. Hypothetically buy a 54- 1 dot 56- 2 dot 56- 2 dot, bent to a 56/~3 dot. Obviously there is more math and science to this, but I think you get the point. Simply put, it should open up your selection. Also consider doing the reverse. I'd be interested to see this done with a 54 2 dot, bent down to 54, and up to 58. This would achieve your desired setup, and also yield identical clubs/swingweights etc. etc. Simply food for thought.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
