Got a 56* Mizuno MP-R for free when I bought my MP-67's and loved it, especially the shape and that amazing grind on the sole. I recently replaced my Vokey 52 & 60 with the MP-R and love them a lot. The 56* is so easy to get out of the bunker with because of that grind.

Driver: : R9 SuperTri TP w/Matrix Ozik HD6X

Irons: MP-67 3-PW w/ DGS300

I use a Cleveland CG11 56 (low bounce) for almost everything now. I also have the Cleveland CG11 Gap 52 (medium bounce) and Lob 60 (medium bounce) wedges, but usually don't carry them. I have tended to leave the lob wedge out and carry an extra hybrid (I had the Hi-Bore 2 and have added the 3 because of the par 3's I play). I have never really felt that comfortable with a LW and feel I can do most of what I need to do with the SW anyway. Also, I recently purchased a set of Callaway X-18 Pro irons and then got the X-18 approach wedge (51). I like the continuity and feel of the X-18 better and don't really feel that having a specialized Gap wedge is that important.

Currently use the old Ping Tour wedge, 52 and 58.

Love the way both sit behind the ball, and both perfrom well enough, but the feel off the face is pretty dead so when I change I think I'll switch to Titleist or Callaway...

. . .I was going to buy a Cleveland or Titleist this year, but decided on a whole new set of TM CGB's. I went ahead and got the CGB Lob wedge to match the set! We'll see what happens!

I just replaced all three of my Cleveland wedges with....well you guessed three more Cleveland Wedges. Black Pearl CG12 52* (Standard bounce with Project X shaft), 56* (Standard bounce with Project X shaft) & 58* (low bounce with Project X shaft). I am yet to get to hit them because here in Ohio we are currently getting dumped on by 8-12" of snow (makes it kinda hard to practice). I have been practicing with them in my basement and they seem to have great feel and constancy. I can't wait for the snow to clear and for golf season to begin.

I use the spin milled Titleist Vokey oil can wedges 54 and 58 degrees. I find these wedges to be softer than the Cleveland wedges I used to play.

I just switched to a custom ground Scratch wedges in 54 and 60. I used to play a mix of Clevelands and Vokeys.

The Scratch wedges are by far the best I've ever used.

588 is cool but I think Ill be trying the 200 vokey instead soon...Im unsure of the feel a bit. Wish it was forged. vokeys arent forged either so maybe ill try a mizuno mpt instead. One can never have enough wedges either in the bag or at home imho

    • I would not think of aimpoint as being a "there's a right way to do this and a wrong way" on this aspect of it (you need to use % slope to have it tie to finger width though for example). If it's working for you, then have at it. I personally haven't 100% bought into the whole thing yet (although I am getting there). I use it to verify my sight read or if i'm struggling to figure out what it's going to do. That said I had a putt last week from about 25 feet on my last hole. I looked from behind and thought it looked like it was breaking about 2 feet. I tested it and got about 2% at the ball, 1.5% at a 1/3 of the way and 1% at 2/3 of the way, so I figured about 1.5% on average, which worked out to about 18" or so I think. I didn't quite trust it so I went with my original read (I often find aimpoint underestimates the break for me - I need to do more work on my calibration). It broke quite a bit early and then straightened up and actually at the end went a tiny bit back the other way. If I took all four measurements (3/3, 2/3, 1/3 and 0/3) and trusted it, I'd have probably ended up holing it.

    • I didn't knew either that the method changed in the last years. I agree that over maybe 8 feet the difference between the reality and the fingers method is not significant because of been the length of the putt longer than the height of the player. But inside that area and closer to 3 feet the difference is important and can lead to confusion.  
    • We dropped our AimPoint certification (wasn't close to worth the annual nut) a few years ago, and it's not "wrong" to use your fingers on the low edge, but basically… you get some guidelines on where to aim and then kinda massage it to fit what kind of putt you want to hit. The speed at which people like to hit putts inside of 6' especially changes things a lot.
