My Ping G10's came with 4-UW (50* loft). I'm without a sand wedge, although my Utility works OK. I may also go for a lob wedge at some point or replace my Utility with a more workable club.

I'm pretty loyal to Ping, so I'm looking at the iWedge and the Tour. The Tour seems more playable. I'm still relatively new (shooting in the low 100's), but would like something more playable than my G10's. I really enjoy working on my short game. I haven't ruled out others but assuming these are my choices, what you you pick and why?

I'm leaning towards the Tour Wedge because of it's increased playability. Also looking at the standard 56° for a Sand Wedge, and the 60/8 as a lob wedge.

Thanks!
Tim

The tour is what I play (56, 60) and I have one of the best short games of anyone I know. (Granted, I have the time to practice an hour a day just on short game alone...)...

I don't really boast much about my game, but if there is one thing I do well, that's inside 50 yards around the greens.

I never used the iwedges but the tour are very nice.
