So i like their Z TP wedge but they are no longer making it.

I thought the changable face wedge was cool but a gimmick.

If you look at all website stores they are no longer stocking any TM wedges. Also TM's website doesnt even have a good wedge selection in their shop. They have RH 56* change face wedges.

I feel like they know they made a mistake with their change face wedges and are working on something new... I wouldnt think a company like TM just wouldnt make wedges.

Anyone know if they have something up their sleeve

Do I have inside info ? No But I would be willing to bet that they have something up their sleeve and will refocus on wedges shortly after the spring launch of the new ghost driver and putter lines hit the streets. Their wedges hold no appeal for me. And even in the retail stores they are just kinda shoved over in the corner like a red headed step child.

When a company makes a club in the USA I will proudly display their brand here. All of mine were made in china by somebody making $2 a day. Shame on you Mr club manufacture.

I currently play the XFT wedges with the groove chance feature.  I switched from Callaway Jaws X Forged Wedges and have been more then happy with the switch.

I agree with you in saying that they are most likely coming out with something new.  With a new driver, woods, hybrids, 4 new sets of irons and a new putter it would be pretty much a given that they would put out some new wedges as well.

Funny you mentioned this… I am currently playing the Callaway Jaws X Forged wedges (52,56,60), and I like them… A lot!! However, recently I severally chipped my 52* when I hit a rock buried under the dirt I had to hit out of. and have since been thinking about new wedges. I might be in the minority, but I did not like the Cleveland wedges (played the CG14's for a season) or the Titleist Vokey wedges. I liked the Nike VR's and have since settled on the Callaway Jaws wedge. BUT I was just in one of my local golf shops that has an outdoor range attached, and I took one of those TaylorMade changeable face wedges out for a try, and I actually liked it! I was surprised. I thought it would feel like all the other TM stuff ive tried… like junk! I was actually thinking about getting some. Plus they're only around $80 and come with one extra face for free. Tempting….

In my Ogio bag.

Titleist 910D2 driver, Adams irons & hybrid, Callaway wedges & a Nike Method putter.

And a yellow ball.

I've got a couple TM RAC wedges that have been OK. I've got a 52 and a 60. They are a touch lighter than my Scratch and Nike SV wedges and I'm currently only using the 52, but I don't use it too often and I prefer a heavier wedge.

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
