Sand Wedges 56*

[CG031]

I am looking to buy a Sand Wedge within the next month or so. Probably not within the next week, but probably by July 14th or July 15th, within that range. I have a HUGE gap between my 52* Srixon wedge and my 60* Cleveland wedge. I love Cleveland wedges, but my Dad just picked up a Cleveland 56* and he reall y likes it. However, I've tried it, and it's pretty heavy or something. I'd like something a little lighter then that. Even though I'm around a 20 handicap I still want a blade on my wedge. I do not have any feel with some type of big cavity back on my wedges.

Here are some options: (I HAVE AT THE MOST 100 DOLLARS TO SPEND)
Nike SV Tour Wedge
Mizuno MP T series
MacGregor Tour forged wedge

Maybe you guys have some more opinons. Once again, I am looking for 56* wedges under $100!

I would definently check out Clevelands CG 10 or 11, or their 588 DTS RTG. The 588 is $110 but the CG series (besides the 12) is at $90 at TGW.com. Those are my favorites, haven't really hit anything other than that a lot, I'm not a big kid and I've never had a problem with their weight.

lol im not saying they are an extra 30 lbs heavier then different wedges i was just saying that the gunmetal 588 was head heavy then my 52* srixon gap wedge and i was a little surprised, that's all.

fred couples drilled three holes in the sole of his cleveland wedge to lighten it up. but wedges, especially 56* sand wedges with all that bounce, are very heavy clubs.

Ya, your 56* wedge is going to be a bit heavier. It's original design was for ponding into sand to launch the ball out. Also you will notice 56* wedges have a higher bounce for the same purpose.
I would get a wedge that is similar to what you all ready use and prefer.

I have a Cleveland CG11 gap wedge (52d) which I don't like because it feels very clunky and heavy. I have a Titleist Spin-Milled sand wedge (56d) which I love. It feels a lot more balanced than the CG11. Even with the 14d of bounce, I feel more confident hitting the Titleist off the fairway than the CG11.

I would definitely recommend checking out the Vokeys and comparing them to the Clevelands. Personally, when I have a few extra bucks in my pocket, I intend to replace the CG11 with another Titleist.

Echoing the thoughts of a few, I would recommend Titleist Vokey. I have three of them and think they're great.

I have noticed that Pro shops almost always have the Vokeys (SM, Oilcan, Chrome, etc.) for less than $100.

i vote for the vokey spin milled, even though its not on your list. i bought one from golf discount and was very impressed with them, good product and fast shipping.

Perhaps the best thing you can do is to actually try several different manufacturers' wedges. By doing this, you can determine which ones work ( or feel ) best to you. Wedges are like putters. They are personal. So don't just take somebody else's recommendation. Decide for yourself by trying different models. Good luck.

I always liked the Titleist line of wedges, but ran across a good deal for a TM r7 SW on ebay. I must say that I really enjoy hitting it and it seems to be a great addition so far.
