new wedge

[Ryanrocksfender]

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

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.)

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

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.

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.
