im looking at a new set of wedges, either Titlest or Cleveland, im 6'2 and have custom fit clubs with longer shafts. I cant seem to find any info on wedges with longer shafts, im a bit worried about there being a 1" difference between muy 9i and my first wedge... does anyone out there have longer wedges?

Well, I wish I had your problem; in fact, I have just the opposite. I am 5'6". In March of 2006, I ordered a set of Titleist 775s. At the same time, I ordered a Vokey Spin Mill wedge. I ordered it with the same shaft as the irons, the same flex and the same -.25" spec as the other shafts, in order to preserve the same set progression.

If you can order a 1" longer shaft in your iron set, I am pretty sure, based on my experience going in the opposite direction, that you can do likewise with the wedges.

Interesting question. I had my irons length increased by 1" after a fitting. The fitter also increased the length of my wedges. This also changed the swingweight. After a little bit of adjustment, I like them. Of course as soon as I did this, I switched wedges and had to lengthen the new one.

Went from 50,56, 61 to 53, 59.

    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.   
    • Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings. 
    • Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here. 
    • Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.    
    • There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:
