looking for a new wedge

[westcyderydin]

Alright, im looking for a new 60 degree wedge. right now i have adams tom watson series wedges. i use my 60 degree for almost anyting within 100 yards, so the grooves are wearing out.

my adams 60 degree only has 7 degrees of bounce. i hit down on the ball kind of a lot so i am looking for a 60 degree wedge for a pretty decent price with a decent amount of spin that has more like 12 degrees of bounce.

any suggestions?

The Cleveland CG15 wedge. The grooves allow you to spin it easily if needed, and the weight is just right (IMO). It's about $115-$120 depending on where you shop.

You cant go wrong with either a Vokey wedge or a CG15 cleveland

[Canuck]

i would suggested a cleveland but the Vokey's are great as well.

I will go out on a limb and say Snake Eyes. I truly believe they are every bit as good as the big brands. Golfsmith sells them assembled, and you can also find plenty of sites around the internet that will make them with custom specs as well, usually at about $70 a pop.

I have a 60* Vokey that I like, but I have a 50* and 56* Cleveland CG14 that I LOVE!

[GaijinGolfer]

Vokey, Cleveland or Mizuno would be the ones Id look at.

More specific to your question.

Vokey's are great but the highest bounce on a 60* wedge is 10*. (according to their website)

Cleveland has a 60* in 8*, 12* and 14* bounce.

Several wedges stand out for me...Callaway Forged with the Mack Daddy grooves, the new Nike tour wedges, Cleveland are superb but as you can see from my sig I would suggest

spin milled (oilcan or chrome, tis up to you!)

[golfaddiction]

I love my Nike wedges. I would go to a golf shop and swing away with what they have. I found I didn't like the heavier club heads, but you may be different.

Eidolon wedges are definitely worth a look.....bestwedge.com for more info...

Besides Clevelands, you might look at the Callaway X-Forged wedges. Since the new Jaws model came out, the X-Forged are down to about $70. And, a lot of them are in the 60* or higher loft, with lots of bounce.

I have an X-Forged SW, but that's so I have 14* bounce from the bunkers, but in general want a wedge with less bounce. Picked up the CG 14 50.08 at Christmas - a big improvement over the X20 AW (50.11) I struggled with last summer.

This wedge would be perfect for you. I have the Callaway Forged X-Tour with Mack Daddy at 60.10 and it is perfect. The spin is unbelievable and when you need to hit a wedge close from 40-80 yards, it is unstoppable. I got mine for free through a friend, but you can get them on eBay for around $100. I like my Callaway over my Vokey (56.08), because I find the Vokey unreliable when I need to take a full swing, due to the spin milled grooves. Hope you choose a winner.

thanks, i will have to see what kind of deals i can find on some of these wedges. i found a bunch for 70-100 bucks on golfsmith so im gonna wait around a little bit and see if i can find one for just a bit cheaper.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money on good wedges, I would suggest betting the Cleveland CG10 or CG12. They are $69 and $89 at Dicks and Golf Galaxy. I have the CG10 and it's the best wedge i have used and will probably be the only wedge i use the the next 14 years

i bought 3 vokeys (52,56,60) they were great the first 3 rounds then it was downhill they started rusting and the grooves were dull after 3 rounds. the cg15 has a ton of spin ONLY if u use a good ball pro v1,nike one, ect i would buy a victory red 60 i have ret to regroove it ( i got it last year) and it still takes peices of ball off

I would say this is true for about 99% of the golfers out there. I was a devout Nike One Black/Tour user, but I have realized lately that the ball is too firm for my liking. The Nike One Tour D, which if I remember, is the replacement for the One Platinum, is still too hard.

For my game, I don't want the ball to back up 10 feet with the wedge...I just want a one hop-and-stop. The CG15 allows for that even when I don't catch the ball completely crisp off the ground.
