Wedges

Well I actually did something fairly smart. Instead of going by the factory specs on my clubs, I had Golf Works measure the loft on my MP-14 PW. Factory specs say 50*. It actually measured 48.5*. So . . . with that in mind, and knowing I hit that club about 120, I ended up getting the 52* CG12, which I am positive I will hit right at 100 yards (I actually tested a used 54 and hit it consistently around 90 yards max). As it stands now, I have 4 wedges: 48.5, 52, 56, 60.

I am going to play my next couple rounds with all of these. My guess is that I will probably ditch the 56 and 60 for a 58 with high bounce for bunker and green side rough shots. Going with the 48.5 and 58 set up, a 53* would be probably perfect, but I doubt you could bend a club weaker. For now, I just think the 52 will be a nice long wedge for me to have in the bag.

The Vokey oil can wedge gives you crazy spin. the con is the finish comes off after about 10 uses. As it rusts though it gives you even more spin and control which is cool. I would personally get the new Cleveland CG14 wedge. It has zipped grooves for forgiveness, control, and spin. I have it and love it.

Well I got the CG12 Black Pearl and I used it today. It feels wonderful. Pretty soft for a wedge and the weight is very nice. Perfect wedge for 100 yds or long pitches. I played a fairway bunker shot with it today too. Used my 60 degree quite a bit today and my 56 a handful of times. Debating whether I should drop my 9 iron, but I will probably keep it.

I would like to reiterate this. Just messing around with my CG14 in the front yard feels amazing because of the control.

I used a loaner 56 degree 14 bounce Cleveland wedge over the weekend. It was pretty good. I used it quite a bit.
I did not have a chance to fully test it but it appears I hit it around 80 yards on a dead hands full swing.

I do not feel comfortable hitting the sand wedge that came with the set for some reason off a firm lie.

I was considering getting the 50 degree Vokey Spin milled and having it bent to 51 degrees (to match my sets gap wedge) and getting a 54 or 56 Vokey spin milled to replace my sand wedge.
