FOund a used 250-08 today and decided to give it a try. Wow, I love this darn thing! Can't wait to get it on the course. I'm hitting awesome soft shot in the yard. I am really suprised I am hitting it so well right away.
WHy don't they make the spin milled in lower lofts? I'd like to have a 52 spin spilled actually. Can a 54 be bent easy enough?

A lot of players arent looking for that type of spin from a gap wedge, at the max distance its just really hard to control that kind of spin

I'd also be curious to see how much a vokey could be bent... not entirely sure the range of a cast club

I thought the same thing when looking for a Titleist gap wedge. I went with the 250-08 and love it as well. Plenty of stopping power for me. You can bend a 54 2 degrees strong, but note the swingweight on the 54 sandwedge is D5 and not D3 if that is an issue to you. Most people wouldn't notice.

The sm's in general are not good for full swings as they put excessive spin on the ball. I'd imagine you'll be swing the 52* in a full swing... bending the sm might not be a good option.

    • Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
