So I definitely move towards titleist when picking most of my clubs. Driver, 3 Wood, and Wedges, as well an SC putter. However my girlfriend got me a 58* X-Forged Wedge, chrome finish, C-grind, Mack Daddy Grooves. The MD's have quite a bit more bite than the Spin Milled when new, however not as much ripping, maybe because the face isnt milled. Amazing at the grind versitility for a retail club, but even more so with the quality of the forging. Seemed a little bigger than my vokey, but seemed like a much better match for me than the vokeys. More testing the weekend, but so far its a winner. It is notable this had an S300 shaft in it rather than the wedge flex TT's in my vokeys. Anyone considering a vokey should try out the x-forged.

Very nice wedges. I had a chance to hit the line at a callaway demo day a month or so ago.I liked the 58 alot, too, but it would fit with my coverage set up. If I didnt get my vokeys so cheaply I would probably go for a 56/10.

I,m using two callaway x tours and they are fantastic! I totally recommend them.

I use 3 X-Forged wedges: 52, 56MD, 62MD . . . these could turn out to be classics, hitting very consistent yardages, so far so good.

I am intending to remove my callaway wedges from my bag as from the rough they sit very flat and thus grip the grass ideal from the fairway but I am a huge fan of bump and run so don,t use them if I can help it .A present I am looking taylor made as they cut through any less than ideal surface

one thing about going the extra mile there,s never a lot of traffic

what,s in the bag

I have both (i use the SM 54.14 for pitch and putt), they're both good. Feel, spin, ability to destroy the ball... all equally good. I like the c-grind option of the x-forged but titleist are offering that as well now...

Pick the wedge that makes you most comfortable at address.

let me add this.

the first 8 shots i hit with both my 52 & 58 x-forged vintages TOTALLY ripped up the balls i was using (and i use some good quality balls hah!)

however, once you get past the ball damage, the results are great. i'm not an awesome sand player yet i have been killing out of the bunkers with these bad boys on my side.

I have two x-forged wedges. The first chip I hit with the 60* hooked me. The vokeys look offset to me for some reason...

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
