Looking at getting new 56* and 60* wedges, is there anyone that has tried both brands of these wedges? I have heard outstanding reviews on both just looking for some more input.

Posted
I have new model Mizuno's and CG14 Cevelands both in 52* and 58* (60* in Mizuno) I am a big fan of Mizuno clubs, but the CG14s play circles around them. Unless you are looking to go pro, sitck with the older year models with the square grooves. They are much easier for someone like me a 10HI to control; plus they are much cheaper than the new models. Around $79 for a CG14 compared to $119 for a CG15.
Of the newer ones, should you choose to go that way, I would probably again favor the Cleveland wedge. Good luck in your choice.

I too played that Mizuno and a CG 14....really isn't a comparison. The CG14 was just a lot better. i would also get the 14 or even the CG12 over the 15. The CG12 almost mirrors the 15 but with 'better' grooves. I find the 14 a bit more forgiving. I went with the 14 for my gap as it was a bit more forgiving but i still could play a variety of shots and the 12 for the lob because it has a bit of a softer feel for around the green.

What's in my bag:

If your thinking about getting new wedges don't forget to look at/try Vokeys, I know that may sound like sponsor talk(by looking at my bag) but they don't give me the clubs. I have played Cleveland my last set were actually all CG12 and they are good but when comparing them to Vokeys is like comparing butter knives to scalpels.
Also look at scratch golf, they have different wedge grinds for different swings which can really help if you take a lot of full swings with your wedges.

Vokey's are great you should try them, they spin the perfect amount.

Scratch golf are the best but very expensive.

The Mizunos are really nice, but last years spin milled vokeys are extremely good. If you are above a 5 or 6 I'd be looking at older spin milled vokeys.

I haven't tried the latter however I'm a huge fan of the mizuno wedges. Great feel and consistency. My wedge game improved quite a bit already just from switching to those wedges. It may be a confidence thing ... or the custom length .. either way, i love em. You can't go wrong with a Mizuno iron or wedge ... great product and i consider them one of the best vs the vokeys

If you're spending full retail on the wedges, go get fit for them at GG or something. I had my wedges a half inch longer than stock and it's made a big difference in my comfort level which equals confidence which equals much more consistent shots on the green

    • I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers 
    • is it though?????? "Millions of fans"?????
    • Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.
    • So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon 
    • It is a known technique, similar to the armed forces box technique. They use a 4x4 , in through the nose and out through the mouth. I use it to go to sleep fairly often. It works for me
