I recently got fitted for a set of irons after playing 20 yrs with a standard set.
I am 6' 4" with good swing speed.
Was outfitted with Ping i15 irons 4 -UW (and I LOVE THEM - they are lasers to the green)
The Ping i15 Irons have 2" extensions and X Stiff shafts - and Ping's largest grips.+

My dilemma - bought a couple of Cleveland CG14 wedges (54 and 58) cause I liked them better than the Ping and Vokey wedges - and the price was right ($80 per). They come with "wedge flex" shafts

Do I:
1. Just get the 2" extensions + the oversized grips?
2. Replace SHAFT + extensions + grips?

I reallly don't/won't swing these wedges with full swing...just not necessary....but I love everything about the Pings...including the X Stiff shafts...am worried that these cg14 wedges will feel like a 1960's Hogan club compared to my Ping Irons

Any advice from the forum would be welcome

Thanks!

i am 6'4" also. my clubs are an inch over standard, ex: 5i= 39". i opted to not lengthen my wedges, but that's also because i felt i lost a touch of control with my longer clubs at first. my advice would be to keep the wedges at standard, or bring them up an inch at most to save some flex in the shaft. also, consider adjusting your lie angles.

It would be most cost effective to install the extensions and grips first. If you like them, great, if not, reshaft. You should be able to re-use the grips if you blow them on and off.

In the bag:
Driver: Rapture V2, 9 degree, stiff shaft
Fairway Woods: X-Hot 3 wood
Hybrid: 3H
Irons: J36 PC 4-PW Project X 6.0 Shafts, FlightedWedges: CG14, 50 54 and 58 degree Putter: Guerin Rife 2 Bar with Winn grip B330S Pro V1x

You are echoing what my pro buddy stated....bend the lie (to make it more upright) on the wedges and extend it....he said to go the full 2" and choke down (like I now do with my Pings)
Thanks
