So I'm looking to pick up some non CC spin milled wedges via eBay. I've been researching and notice that some of the wedges have loft numbers on the sole of the club and some have them more towards the toe. Other than that the clubs look identical. Anyone know the difference between the two styles?

Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout:

Numbers toward the toe

Thanks

well i cant say i KNOW for sure.. But i do have an educated guess.. and that is that the difference is year. i think the number toward the toe is older. i could be wrong tho.

the one with the number on the toe has more heel/toe relief. Is so you can lay the club open a little easier and prevents digging. I use a 58 degree like that. Its supposed to benefit steeper swingers.

I see what you're talkin' 'bout. The way the lower bounce clubs are ground, 60.04 for example, have the loft number towards the toe and the ones with more bounce, 60.07 and 60.10 have the loft number on the sole. Case solved. Thanks.

The wedges with different sole designs are the ones that have them on the toe, and the normal soles have the number on the sole.

Different sole designs. My 54 has a traditional sole while the 58 has heel and toe relief. That's really the only difference between the soles.
