Are Expensive Wedges Wirth It??

[svchiefs19]

ive been looking at wedges for close to a month now. it seems that the cleveland cg14 and the vokeys or even the taylormade tp are the best out there, but they are also upwards of $110 each. thats a litlte steep for me, especially when i dont have a job. my local Dick's has cleveland cg10s on sale for $50 each. i thought that would be a good club and great deal for me. however, ive been thinking and i really want to do some major improving this coming season, and getting pitches and chips close to the pin are my weak point. are the more expensive wedges (cg14, vokey, taylormade tp) really worth the extra cash? or would i be fine with the cg10?

in my opinion, YES, those wedges are good wedges, and i also think you'd be fine with the cg10. if its money you are worried about, have you ever considered the Sonartec or Tour Edge wedges? the Sonartecs can be bought brand new for around $30 on ebay, and Tour Edge makes some fantastic Spin Milled wedges that can be bought for anywhere between $30-$50 on ebay (brand new also). here are a few links for ya:

and ProShopWarehouse has been blowing out Sonartec T46 Milled Face-Yo Yo Groove Sand Wedges that usually end up going for around $20 (plus shipping):

my apologies for the misspelling on the title. guess a proof read before a post would be helpful...

All of those wedges are probably worth it. The value is in the eye of the beholder though.
Many players on Cleveland's staff actually play the CG10 wedges. They could get any Cleveland wedge they want, but chooses the CG10. To me, this shows how good the wedge actually is.

CG10s loom fine unless you just want the vokey, TM etc. The only thing that could possibly make them seem bad is if you think that they are bad and cheap etc. Its all how you look at it. After all golf is 70% mental(or something like that)

[kevidinho]

first off i think that yes they are worth it.

if you can get a couple of those cg10s i would jump on it right away. they had the sale at the stores near me too but they sold out.

i think the cg10s are comparable to the vokey 200 series which are my choice wedges.

[misty_mountainhop]

Not sure. Just got some Vokey 200s (was treating myself!) and they're very good but I wouldn't say they were any better than a lot of older, forged wedges you can get via eBay for a fraction of the cost.

Doesn't have to be expensive to be effective. If you find something cheaper that you like the look of and works for you I'd say stick with it.

The CG10 are high quality wedges just like the other ones that you mentioned. When released the CG10's were to be included on the list of expensive wedges. One thing to keep in mind when shopping for these discount wedges, as well as any new one, is bounce. I would say if you can find the CG10 with the loft that you want and the two red dots, go for it. The red dots signify medium bounce which will probably be the most versatile. Sometimes when they are discounting these wedges they are the ones with something like 16* bounce and 56 loft. That would be too much for me! If you want more info on how bounce in wedges effect your shots I would try searching this site for past threads on bounce in wedges.

If you are getting R7 irons why don't you buy these below for about $56 each

You can't 'buy yourself a game'. Spend the money at the range, or a lesson, just MHO ..

Titleist Man said it perfectly.

ive had both a 56* CG10 and a 56* vokey. couldnt tell the difference when hitting with them. so its all about what you think, if you see the club as being "cheap".

[scrambles12]

i totally agree with that.
