I currently play 56 and 60 degree 588 Cleveland raw tour grind wedges and would like to replace these with some newer model that look and feel similar. I've hit the titleist spin milled wedges and didn't really care for them much.

Any suggestions? I'd either like to stick with some updated clevelands or go w/ the callaway or taylor made wedges. I really like a soft feel and something that i can spin a lot.

thanks.

I would take a look at the new Cleveland CG-12 Black Pearl.

Scratch Golf is very very nice. I have 52 56 and 58 and I am saving them for special rounds :)

I read the review on Sand Trap and had to get it and I am very very happy. So if you want to try something different get the Scratch golf or else the Spin Milled will do just fine.

the new clevelands are available in the 588 DSG sole grind.. CG12 for better players and CG14 for a little help... I hear really great things about the Callaway X Tour Vintage... Taylormade has come out with new Z grooves and a nice smoke finish..

Vokeys are the my personal favorite. But go with what you like

Clevelands are always a solid choice for wedges, i favor the Gunmetal finishes. Love the feel plus less glare.

You may also wana try the Vokey 200 series wedges.

from my experience, the 200 series is the spin milled without spin milling.

My 2 cents:

The titleist Vokey wedges seem to get the best reviews. I've got a couple Nike SV Tour wedges and love them. The mizuno MP series wedges are nice as well. The titleist and mizunos feel better to me when you hit them well, but I hit the nikes much more consistently for some reason.

I've never hit the clevelands, so can't comment on them.

I switched to the cg11's this year for my 50 and 56 after trying the cg10's, 588 rtg's and 588 dsg's. They are all very nice as are all of Clevelands wedges but the cg11's stood out for some reason. Plus, they spin like a madman. You can pick them up on ebay right now used for around $40 with good grooves.

12's will spin a bit more, but both are good. Niether spin quite as much as the Vokey... but that is one of the things I like. The 10's are also a different metal... I think the 12's have a little better feel for some reason. The 588's had a great feel too... you might be able to find them still if you shop around.

The CG12 has the new "zip groove" technology, but Golf Digest warns about over spinning on high loft wedge shots. I really don't need the extra spin in my game, but I did enjoy saving $$$.

I picked up my CG10 52° at a local golf shop for $69.99 and my CG10 56° at a golf show for $49.00! Both brand new. Steals huh? Looking back I should have cleaned out the back at $49 and resold them on eBay.

I personally love the RAC wedges, got 52 and 56 in RAC wedges while my 60 is a Callaway V, the headshape on the RAC wedge gives me more confidence and the amount of bite they get on the green is great.

If this is what your looking for I don't recommend Cleveland's CG12 line. They aren't super flush and the spin is overrated. I had 2 of these wedges in my last set, and they where good wedges. But they didn't meet the standards of what I was looking for.

I would recommend taking a look at the Mizuno MP-T Wedges, or the new Callaway X's, I've hit them both and they felt really nice. I wasn't able to get a good read of the spin however, since I didn't take them to the course.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
