Wedge help

[erock9174]

My budget for 2 wedges (would like a 52 gap and 60 lob) is roughly $120 total.
What would you guys purchase in that price range ?

I am getting a 48 deg Oil can Vokey to replace my current pw, but I just dont have the budget to buy 2 more of those. A buddy of mine recommended Maxfli wedges. He bought 2 of them for $75 or so on sale at Dicks and likes them alot compared to his Cleveland G14 and Mizuno SW.

Any other options out there ?

Also I have to get all my clubs cut down so I figure I'll have about $12 extra per club in club cutdown, re-grip fee and new grip.

Also one other question. If I buy a 2009 wedge those will have the old (high spin) grooves correct ?

Follow this link, almost all are in your budget and they are new.

thanks...although, every wedge on their page says "open box". demo's perhaps ?
hate to buy something used or returned.

They are not demos, they put those in their used section.

Narrowed it down to a few choices in my price range.

Adams Watson $49
Maxfli C3 - $69. currently buy 1 get 1 free at Dicks
Nike SV Tour - $69
Cleveland CG10 - $59
Cleveland CG12 - $69

Are any of these clearly better than the rest in that price range? Also the CG10, how old is that club - 2008 or 2009 ?

Also with my handicap (around a 20) would it even be worth it for me to buy something like a CG15, Callaway Jaws or Vokey for $109-119 ? Or just stick with the cheaper ones ? Mainly looking for a 60 degree wedge now. I don't feel I'll need a gap wedge at this point.

The Adams Watson wedges are really nice. I have 3, and can switch them out for my Vokey or MacGregor DW with no loss of performance.

I figured those were the older model, but it says 2010 when you click on it.

Interesting because Globalgolf.com had the older model for $29 and the new model for $49 One thing that scares me about the Watson's is the chrome finish. My hybrids all have chrome bottoms and they scratch very easy. I know looks shouldn't matter but I am kind of a fanatic when it comes to keeping my clubs looking like new, lol

They're chrome but its like a satin and they stay that color for al ong time
EVENTUALYL after like 5000000000000000000000 balls hit it comes off the face and rusts
but 29 bucks................ just buy a new one

I've got an older (2008 or 2009) model Tom Watson PVD wedge that I like a lot. The PVD finish rubbed off the bottom half in a hurry, but I'd imagine the chrome would hold up a bit better. I was annoyed at first, but I sort of like the bi-color look now.

Callaway X-Forged and earlier Mizuno MP-T series wedges run about $70 each now.

Be aware that if you cut the shaft more than a half inch, it may stiffen the shaft somewhat. Also, trimming can decrease swingweight.

I find the Nickent ARC wegeses some of the best wedges I have used in my 55 years of playing. I included a link to ebay

I know I am going to need at least an inch cut off, being 5' 4".

Even with cut down clubs I still choke down another inch or 2 on chips and pitches. So to choke down on a normal length club is too much.

Ended up biting the bullet and bought a 60/4 degree Vokey. Got a really good deal. my local shop had them for $109.

Figure since I was getting a Vokey 48 deg PW for free that I should just stick with the same brand. thanks for all suggestions though.

We'll see how it works on the course tomorrow.

That's a good club, but you don't appear to have a wedge with a decent amount of bounce for use out of the sand or soft, fluffy lies.
