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.

Actually, I just bought my cg14 wedge and I thought I read in the specifications that this was actually a touch heavier then their 10 and 12 wedges.

Vokey seems to be the most popular around here with the Clevelands being 2nd. I play a Cleveland cg12 although I went with a 58 as I'm not real comfortable opening up my clubs too much.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the higher end wedges. I will say to match the bounce to the type of bunkers you find at your most played at courses.

I have a ping tour-w 56/14. Perfect club to get.

I've been thinking very seriously about adding one of these for my 14th club.

They are offering a new TS (thin sole) model that should fit the bill nicely. Going with a 60 degree low bounce model. Gonna get it with the same shaft & grip I have in my irons....also the same dot color and length adjustment. I've been getting decent full swing results with opening the face on my 54 degree SW....but this should be even easier.

Consider the shaft carefully. Most of the wedges are very similair, the shaft is what provides the feel and performance that's going to make it your least or most favorite.

Having hit an ace with my Vokey, its hard to reccomend something else! My 60 deg is in need of a re-grind and refinish, but I'd rather have that wedge redone than buy a new one. I just love them.

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
