Right now I only have 1 wedge, a 56* and I definitely want more. I really want some Cobra Trusty Rusty's (51*, 55*, and 59*). I also really like mine now. Is it normal to have a mixed set of wedges? I don't really know anyone who does.

I used to play a 52, 56, 60 Vokey combo but for reasons unknown traded in the 52 and 60. Loved the 60 hated the 52. I now only play the 56 and really wish I had at least 2. ajst22 I really like the look of the Cobra TR, would do 53, 57 combo with some dg spinners on them. Might do it if the price comes down a bit.

Two years ago, I carried the Callaway X20 PW, a Cleveland 50* GW, and a Callaway XForged 56* SW. This mix basically got the job done, and despite the mix had very good overlapping yardage coverage.

An instructor at a club repair school I attended carried two 56* SWs made about three years apart. He uses the high bounce SW for bunkers, and low-bounce for a lob wedge.

Let's say you have a PW from your iron set, and a separate model for GW-SW-LW. The higher wedges can work together better as a coordinated set if they match.

In your case, look for the the CG14 CC model that came out a couple of years ago. These wedges have a black gel inset, and new conforming grooves (for most of us, who cares?).  This reissue didn't sell that well in the wake of the newly arrived CG15 and CG16 models, so Sports Authority, Golf Galaxy and Golfsmith often have them available. I have seen the CG14s for under $80.

If you could pick up a 52* (and if you do LW) a 60*, you would pretty well have a matched set.

If you do this, consider trimming the shafts on the 56* and 60* to get some half-inch separation in length They come stock with a quarter-inch shaft increment (or less) between wedge lofts, so yardage distance difference would be bunched up more than you think. Run this idea by your local clubsmith if you want.

Building on what jman said, the CG14s come with the TRAction wedge flex shaft, which functions pretty well the same as the Spinner (minus the nifty bend segment).

Edit: Improve sentence structure.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I play 3 Scratch wedges. My 51* and 60* are cast 8620's but my 56* is an older JLM forged model.

I like having the JLM in the bag because the head is heavier, and the leading edge is a bit flatter. I find it a bit better out of heavier rough.

I originally bought 3 8620's as a set, but dropped the 56* in favor of my old JLM SND for the sake of versatility.

I demo'd the 59* today and I liked it a lot. Normal retail is $119 which is a lot, but my proshop has a discount on all products for members so it is $109...but it is still a lot. I will probably stick it out with my PW and the 56* until the end of the year and wait for the TR price to come down.

I play a Mizuno MP R-12 52*, Tourstage MB-32 sand wedge and a Nike VR Pro 60* wedge and they get along just fine.  The clubs dont know that they arent all the same brand.

I game a 56 Cleveland and a 52 Vokey.  Like both for different reasons.  Eventually I will have to part with the Cleveland it is showing some wear

I use a Cleavland VAS lob wedge and a Adam's Tight lies  sand wedge and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon. Its how the club works for you not the name on it. In my book

I like that. I was just concerned about the distances and stuff but that is a good way of thinking of it

We just aren't that good.  It really doesn't matter if they are different brands.  Right now I carry a 51 Mizuno MP, 56 x forged, 60 old vokey 200, and a x forged 64.  If the set up works for you and you feel confortable, that is all that matters.  99% of the time its the indian and not the arrow.

I play a VERY mixed set of 4 wedges that makes people's heads spin partially because they never heard of one of my clubs.

PW: Taylormade Burner 2.0 45*

AW: Taylormade Burner 2.0 50*

SW: Top Flite Tour 56*

LW: Mitsubisha Tour Classic 304 60*

I LOVE my LW, but never found it even on the internet.  Actually got it at a liquidator years ago.

I also used to play a Cleveland CG 14 50* wedge, but gave it to my father (who was looking for a 50* wedge recently) when I got my new Burners.

If you do find the Mitsubisha club somewhere, give it a shot.

Dirver:  Burner Superfast (Stiff Shaft) 9.5*----3 wood: Daiwa 3 Metal G-4 Brougham

2 Hybrid: T7 Attack 16*----3 Hybrid: Golden Bear GB Tech 460----4-AW  Burner 2.0 (R Flex)

SW:  56* LW: Mitsubisha 60*  Ball: Nike PD Soft -- Glove:  Weathersof

Not sure how someone older than 20 wouldn't have heard of Top Flite and TaylorMade is still making clubs I think. Maybe your Google searches are finding info on Mitsubishi cars. Try Mitsushiba - the golf company.

Thanks for the link.  Never was able to find it, which is weird.  And the club that makes peoples heads turn is the mitsubisha.  No one has heard of it.  The Top Flite just gets the look of "Really?  Top Flite?"  But hey, whatever works.

Thanks again for the link!

    • Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
    • Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.
    • Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.     
    • Very much so. I think the intimidation factor that a lot of people feel playing against someone who's actually very good is significant. I know that Winged Foot pride themselves on the strength of the club. I think they have something like 40-50 players who are plus something. Club championships there are pretty competitive. Can't imagine Oakmont isn't similar. The more I think about this, the more likely it seems that this club is legit. Winning also breeds confidence and I'm sure the other clubs when they play this one are expecting to lose - that can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
    • Ah ok I misunderstood. But you did bring to light an oversight on my part.
