Looking for help on what brand of wedge to get, and what model. With the good wedges out this year i really want to get some before they sell out since they stop making them, and since i just got some money for christmas this is the perfect time. Im a good player so i dont care about forgiveness or easy to hit or any of that junk i just want the best wedge out there, period. The only wedges i really looked at so far are the cg 14's and cg 15's from cleveland. but idk what other brands have out there such as callaway or ping.  can anyone help me?

Oh, and merry christmas!

I really like the Callaway X-Forged. But from what I have heard and read the Cleveland zip wedges are amazing. Sorry haven't used any of those. Good luck.

I have experience with cleveland cg 12, 14, 15's as well as vokey sm, and the callaway xforge wedges. the callaway in my opinion has the most spin and comes with a c-grind for versatility. while the clevelands and vokey's offer c-grinds as well, i also prefer the callaway for its appearance. good luck!

Wow tim31x you seem to like wedges. If you don't mind me asking over what time frame did you try all of these wedges and what lofts and for how long? Favorite loft(s)

There is no wedge that's the best or else people wouldn't be gaming all sorts of different wedges. If you have been playing golf for any amount of time, you'd realize that equipment is a very personal thing and what works for someone won't work for you.

For what it's worth I use the Callaway JAWS wedge and really like it.  I don't know exactly what you are looking for in a wedge, but as I play them I will recommend them.

If you're planning on playing at a competitive level you need to game clubs with compliant grooves.

Went with a 48 degree Volkey and my question is why is the Volkey noticeably longer than the same lofted Callaway X-Forged wedge and a little bit longer than the Cleveland CG15? Is this a company design?

Look at the Miura wedges. I got three last week and they are amazing. Never felt anything like them. Got mine from Chip Usher at Usher Golf in Savannah,Ga. I ordered them on Friday and he shipped them to me overnight delivery on Monday. He has most all of them in stock it seems.

Callaway X-Forged wedges are on clearance at several places for $70. I have an X-Forged 56.14 which works quite well; it's on the shelf right now while I try a 50-54-58 mix.

X-Forged is great if you want a lot of bounce.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
