I'm thinking about getting the Spinner shafts for my wedges for Christmas. Anyone use them? I mostly want them so they match the width the of my Project X shafts. The project X shafts I have in my irons are 5.0. Should I go with a 5.0 or 5.5 for my wedges?

Thanks,

Zack

I've heard it does produce more spin and has a "softer" feel.  Lots of positive feedback.  I'd stay with the 5.0, never go more stiff in the wedges.

Do you mind if I ask why you say to never go more stiff in the Wedges? My wedge shafts are stiffer than my iron shafts for a specific reason but that is my preference.

Swing speed is slower for shots around the green.  Rarely hit "full" shots with your sand/lob

"Never" may not have been the best wording because, some people go stiffer in wedges it gives tighter dispersion and they like the feel.


Many people go same stiffness to preserve the feel throughout the set.  Some people go softer shaft in wedges because you don't hit them full very often and stiffer shafts may feel like a mishit. but if you go with heavier swing weights in wedges it will load the shaft better so you can go with the same stiffness.  1 SW point = 1 CPM

I use a technique similar to this motion so I like a "softer" feel, helps with the float loading feel

First of all, there's two shafts in the Spinner family:

  • Rifle Spinner Wedge (Royal Precision). "Developed for PGA Tour players who like a softer feel in their sccoring irons which are used primarily for less-than-full shots."
  • DG Spinner Wedge (TT). "Designed with a revolutionary 3" section below the grip that creates an optimum bending point for increased spin and lower launch angle." (Both quotes from Shaft section of 2011 GolfWorks catalog.)

Comments from players and club fitters on the DG Spinners tend to agree with mvmac :

As for your Project X, you don't say if they're flighted or not. Flighted shafts lower the launch angle slightly on higher lofted clubs.


Focus, connect and follow through!

Thanks everyone for the info so far.

MVMAC - Thanks for the heads up on shaft stiffness with wedges. I think I'll just stick with the 5.0 for the stiffness. I take pretty easy swings with my wedges.

WU Tiger - I was looking at the Rifle Spinner's. I have the non flighted Project X shafts.
