New Wedges, thoughts?

[CowboysClubTX]

I agree with the people that said you must try on your own, go out and test a couple out first. I can only speak from what I liked. I have had Titleist Spin Milled, and Clevelands. But for me, I loved the solid fell of the forged wedge. So I went with the Nike VR's. But Callaway makes a forged wedge as well, and Phil uses that one, and not their tour line. So try a couple and make sure to try the forged ones as well. Happy hunting.

If you're right-handed(!), I'd get Vokey SMs -- but then, I've never hit (or even seen) Scratches. I'm left-handed and Australian ...

Right. I'm also looking for new wedges. I'll probably get Vokeys, but I'm not sure what to do with the lob wedge. I've always hit a 60 (or 61) degree wedge; my current model is an old 61-degree Cobra that you can lay right open without the leading edge sticking up, which I like to do a lot. It's great, for what it is, but the grooves are long gone (as well as the shaft since yesterday -- which is another story: it broke mid-swing!) and I'm good enough now to look at better equipment. I'd prefer to play a low bounce lob wedge because I like to open up the face, but the only option in the Vokey SM range for left-handed players has 7 degrees bounce; I've hit it a few times, and I'm not convinced.

So, two things:

1. I'm disappointed that Titleist wouldn't offer a low-bounce lob wedge for left-handers; I imagine that most better players wouldn't be over the moon about hitting a mid-bounce lob, so it seems incongruous to me that Titleist would offer to lefties only the 60.07 wedge. (I can't get different finishes either, only the chrome, but I care less about that; it seems to me that the limited bounce angle / sole design option places left-handers at a real performance disadvantage here.) That's really a rant.

2. More importantly, have any other left-handers been in this position? If so, what'd you do? Did you grind your wedge back? (The pro at my club says that an option.) Look elsewhere? Give up? Haha.

Thanks, guys.

I like my Cleveland 588 DSG. Easy to open the face and cut it through the grass when you need a shot with higher trajectory.

I have played the DSG's for a few seasons now, a great wedge. This year, however, I'm going to invest in a pair of Solus 7.1 tours.

one of my playing partners who is a 2 handicap plays Eidolon wedges and he says they are the spinniest wedges he's ever played
