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.

For your own sake, don't say things like this.  You will only get beat up in here or any other forum.

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.

I have been a Vokey man myself, but last year I added a 60* Scratch wedge to my bag and I'll be replacing my 52 and 56 Vokeys with some Scratch 8620's this year, most likely.

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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      Contact is getting better. Swing path is still too inconsistent. Pushes and over draws. Sometimes some pull draws. I got to get this downswing path figured out.

      The Greatest Swing Ever

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      It's really hard to argue against the Tiger Woods 2000 swing.  I like Rory's swing. And, I've always liked Joaquin Niemann's swing. Although, if I tried to mimic Niemann's swing I'd probably end up in traction for 2 months. I was kinda bummed when he went to LIV cuz I almost never see it anymore.  At the other extreme, I can't look at Bryson when he plays. Even if it's very effective, it's coyote-ugly to watch.  I'd rather watch Charles Barkley than Bryson. ....

      I think he was always kind of like that - he hit it off the planet relatively frequently throughout his career. I saw him play a couple of times. One time at Walton Heath in the European Open. He was playing the 13th on the Old (dogleg right par 5) and his drive had gone through the fairway and found a patch of grass in the woods there to the left (the woods have now gone). He had an opening to play back to the fairway. Maybe 25 yards to reach the fairway and 65 yards to run through the other side. He was maybe 230 yards away from the green, but the trees made sure that was not a viable option (at least that's what I thought at the time). He pulled out a pretty long iron - probably a 3 and gave it a full blooded thrash. I watched this ball come out straight for about 40 yards and then it just turned hard left, but stayed in the air (still not sure how he did that). He started the ball at a point that must have been 100 yards right of the green and hooked it basically that whole 100 yards and the ball wound up on the front of the green.  Shotmaking he was pretty much peerless. Not sure his swing was ever technically solid. Flowing and fun to watch yes, but not one you'd want to copy.  As to the question, I have heard a few people suggest that Mickey Wright had the best swing ever. Frank Nobilo had a pretty sweet looking one. Bruce Lietzke's was pretty cool - he managed to maintain PGA Tour playing rights with basically little to no work on his game - got to be a lot said for that.
