I finally found this wedge I like at the price I want, but it comes with a S300 (stiff) shaft and I play with regular, baring in mind its a gap wedge at 52/07 will I be able to play with it?

I know it sounds like only a question I could answer, knowing my own abilities, but I have never used stiff shafts so I don't know the difference.

Nearly all wedge shafts come as stiff as this helps promote accuracy and that is the aim with a wedge and not distance so you should be fine with the stiff shafts.

In my bag:-

That's not correct at all.

If you buy into Pelz's ideas, the wedges should have a more flexible shaft for feeling the clubhead. I can't tell you whether this will work for you.

I would generally suggest shafts in your wedges consistent with what you play in your other clubs. I'd be nervous about going stiffer, but it comes down to how YOU swing the golf club (not just how fast, but how).

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
