so my trusty old cleveland wedge is starting to go south =[ (it was my first real good club) im looking for a replace ment its a 56* and thats the highest loft i will use. im looking for a really versitile club one thats good from the fairway, around the greens,in the sand, i also like to be able to open up the face. anyone got any sugestions on some models

in my bag
hibore xls 9.5* S flex
sumo2 sasquatch 3 wood 15*
a2os 3 hybrid

cg12 or 14 all the way. Just like the 588 but spins like a hippie's head. cg12 is more workable but the 14 is more forgiving (and also very ugly, but it's still awesome.)

In my stand bag:
909D3 with 10.5 degrees of loft and a 45 inch Fujikura Rombax 6Z08, x-flex
909F3 15* with a stock Diamana Blue
FT 18* with an Aldila NV

I would go with the cg14 or a vokey. Or check out the taylormades. Go demo some and decide.

In my Xtreme Sport bag

Taylormade Z Smoke TP wedges are real nice, but an underrated wedge is the Nike SV Tours. Great club for chipping, but just a little harsh on the full fairway shots.

R7 Limited Patriot 9.5º
Sasquatch 15º
Idea Pro Gold Hybrid 20º
Tour Preferred Irons 4-PW

since you like cleveland I would go with the cg 12 dsg which allows you to open the clubface easily.

Well let me first say Vokeys, of course. They are awesome wedges.
The Mizuno MP-T & MP-R are well know for their c-grind sole as well as awesome feel. The review by Erik will go into more details (under reviews on the Sandtrap home page).

Cleveland has a lot of grind options and they are always well respected.

Callaway has a lot of options in grind and loft, but unfortunately the X-Forged in 56* is only available in 14* bounce. What's up with that?


So to start a short list Vokey Spin Milled, Mizuno MP-T & MP-R, Cleveland CG12 & CG14 and Callaway X-Forged.

Good Luck!

Whatever wedge you decide to go with make sure you go with a 8-10 bounce in order for it to be versatile from almost any lie. A bounce in that range will also allow you to open up your face more for those high lob shots. Unless the sand is very fluffy where you play, a bounce more than 10 is unnecessary an will only hurt you playing tight lies.

    • Ah.. my regular weekend league. Lol Scrambles are fine. Usually there's charity involved. So there's that. There are much worse events Im forced to attend twice a year. 
    • Does Justin Thomas have a massively underrated short game? It seems every time I look up he's hitting it close from a tough lie after short siding himself. What masterful touch
    • I freaking hate them. Too expensive, cheaters, food sucks, too dependent on weather, I keep telling myself never do it again but I'm a dummy
    • I enjoyed the A-B-C-D scramble we did at Kittyhawk before it shut down. Yes. The point was to meet the other members and get the season kicked off. Nobody took it too seriously. At least with that group, cheating wasn't a big issue.  As the D part of A-B-C-D, I enjoyed getting to play with one of the Association's top players. One year I played with the city champ. Man could he hit a ball.  It probably isn't something I'd want to do more than once a year, but it has its place.
