Today, what are considered as great wedges? Like, maybe 10-20 years ago, Cleveland 588 was real popular among low handicap golfers. Is there anything today that enjoys the same?


Most of the major golf companies and several of the more boutique places make very good ones. Cleveland, Vokey, Ping and Callaway all have popular wedges.  Edel seems to have more of a custom fitting option.   They also all vary on the customizations like stamping and paint fills.   I don't think there is a consistent standard at this point.

I'd say any of the wedges made by the big equipment manufacturers like Callaway, Taylormade, Titleist, Ping, etc. are good options. I had Edel wedges for several years, and recently got fitted for some Cleveland wedges, and I have nothing negative to say about either brand.

Vokey wedges have their fan-boys, as do Cleveland, Callaway, Ping, et.al.  I really think any of the major players, which would include a couple of the boutique companies, such as Edel and Sub70, all make great wedges.  Everyone has different swings and needs, but there is a wedge out there for everyone!

How does one get fitted for wedges? I mean, what do they do, is it the same as with irons? Who offers fitting?

Wedge fitting involves checking launch angle, spin, decent rate and other parameters to optimize shaft choice and head grind. Not sure where you are in Louisiana, but Edel does have a fitter in NOLA. I love their wedges.

    • I should be able to drive in for both days...
    • Um... The Browns? ... hmm.... I really don't have any issue at all with the Shedeur Sanders pick in Round 5. If he doesn't work out, fine. It's a fifth round pick on a quarterback, no big deal.  What I'm fascinated by is the Dillon Gabriel pick in round 3. I heard a lot of folks said that Gabriel might not get drafted at all. Seems like they could have waited and still got him if they wanted him.  What I'm already sick of is people saying the Browns have 5 quarterbacks. They don't. Watson won't play in 2025 due to his torn Achilles. Ideally, he won't play in 2026. But they can't cut him. They will actually have to pay more against the cap if they cut him than if they just lock him in somebody's basement and forget about him. Think about this. In the last two seasons The Browns have had 6 games where their QB has thrown for over 300 yards. ... None of them were named Deshaun Watson. Three 300 yard games by geriatric Joe Flacco and 3 by mentally unstable, Jameis Winston. ... Including Winston's almost 500 yards against the Broncos.  Deshaun Watson sticks out loud! I'm hoping he never suits up again. The Browns can just pay him for the next 3 years and then maybe he'll go away. (73 Mil against the cap in both 2025 and 2026. And then 27 Mil against the cap in 2027... sheesh.)  So, The Browns currently have 4 quarterbacks, not 5. I'm not sure any of them are worth a pile of rat droppings. But if not, they got 2 first round picks next year. Then in 2028 Watson's contract will finally come off the books and they can stop paying that waste of a uniform and move forward with whom ever ends up behind center.
