If you are a samurai and demand your wedges be made by one, these are fantastic.

p.s. and they can cut through those pesky trees if need be.

Cleveland CG 12 if you're comfortable with your striking and CG 14 if you need a little bit of a cavity back to help your flight. You can never go wrong with Cleveland or Vokey wedges.

I would go with a Wishon Micro CX 56*. Micro grooves narrow gaps are closer together with milling grooves. Gaps being closer together causes you to have 5 gooves to make contact with the ball inseed of 3 that you get with a regular wedge, along with milling lines and you get 500 rpm more ball spin, than a club with wide grooves.........

Will these be legal once the usga makes the groove change?

get a srixon wedge because they are similar shape to the clevelands since the two companies have merged and the srixon is forged and the cleveland isn't. However there are a lot of good wedges vokey, callaway etc...

For a nice forged wedge at a reasonable price, check out the Maltby M-Series from GolfWorks. I'm pretty sure it will have non-conforming grooves once the new rules are in effect, but that doesn't bother me much. Though they don't have the big name. these things are well made an can cost as little as half as much as a new wedge from a major OEM.

Having played with both the CG10 (54-deg) and CG14 (52, 58) if I had to choose between the CG12 and CG14 in a 56-deg, I'd opt for the CG12. There's a bit more heft or weight to the heads of the CG10 / CG12 vs the CG14 which feels on the light side. Just my 2 cents.

Driver: TaylorMade RocketBallz 10.5-deg
Woods: Cobra Bio Cell+ 3W and 5W
Hybrids: Bobby Jones Workshop Hybrid 3 (20-deg) and 5 (25-deg)

I am in the market for a new wedge. What's your recommendation?

I just bought a cleveland 56* cg14 wedge. So far it's great. I lost my callaway 55* x18 sand wedge which really had too much offset for me anyway, and this wedge stops the ball out of the sand really well.

Check back in a few weeks however. :)

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
