To start off with I am a lefty

After doing some research the two companies that offer the widest variety of wedge options are Ping and Cleveland.  I play G15 irons but have no experience with Cleveland.  Can anybody recommend which wedges I should go with? I plan on trying to locate some Clevelands at the local shops but I sure I won't have any luck

Well they're not Clevelands or Pings, but the Nike VR Pro wedges are very good and relatively cheap if you can get last years model. I've been using them all season and couldn't be happier.

Nike VR pro is a terrific wedge. I am playing with last years model sw 56-14. Love it from all lies. The 1 caveat is I switched out the shafts. I use dg spinner but I use that on every wedge I have owned.

I'm not sure how you determined Ping and Cleveland offer the most wedge options when Scor, Vokey and Edel offer custom built wedges with multiple grind options

The ones that fit your game and feel right to you. Without more information, there's really no way anyone here can give an educated recommendation.

If you have a basic wedge game without a lot of hand manipulation, and a medium angle downswing, consider the Adams Tom Watson wedges. These are tried and true basic wedges, and come in a three-pack for about $100. You get a 52.08, a 56.12 and a 60.08.

I've tried the scor and wasnt a fan... Ive  had the opportunity to try Vokeys and know what they offer... With Ping and Cleveland I can get any degree wedge I want unlike with Mizuno where leftys arent offered much ... That's how it was determined ..

I havent even heard of the Edel wedges so thats something I will look into

This thread has a great discussion on Edel wedges (as well as bounce and other such sundry).

Not trying to discourage from looking at Ping and Cleveland, but Vokey WedgeWorks division is a custom shop for wedges and offers grinds that are different than the SM-4 you probably saw in stores.

Take a look at these. Not much has been said about them but I have the 52, 56, and 58 degree. Great out of the sand and tight lies.

Don't judge them by my handicap. Others I play with that have them love them and are decent golfers.

      Grip Issue?!?

      By carpediem4300 ·

      Yeah I really want to avoid the rabbit hole if I can  🤣 I'm not sure I'm going to make my lesson Tuesday though, whatever I did to the back of my hand at the range is getting worse, but that's a whole separate issue 🤣

      Rory becomes the second person after Tiger to pass $100 million in earnings on the PGA Tour. Earnings always favor recency since purses go up. Scottie's first win was in 2022, but he's already at $75 million with "only" 18 professional wins. Rory McIlroy $100 million career earnings PGA Tour, joins Tiger Woods Until Sunday, Tiger Woods was the only golfer in the history of the PGA Tour to surpass $100 million in career earnings. Now he has company.

      Grip Issue?!?

      By GolfLug ·

      Can't tell 100% from your videos but if your right hand is too far underneath the grip the tendency for most folks is to roll it close through impact little too early. Try putting your right (trail) hand more on the side of the grip instead of underneath at address for a simple enough adjustment. This might help. In general match-ups matter greatly and you might have to make corresponding changes. I wouldn't even begin to suggest whatever those might be. Best to get a good pro to help. Self-diagnosis/experimentation can work for some but for most it's a rabbit hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Been away for a few weeks. A bit of tumultuous times at work. We had about 4% our exempt workforce laid off. My project from hell won’t let up. Just been burnt out the past couple of weeks and the cold crappy weather. Back at it now. Backswing drill - working on swing path feels. Right wrist bent, more feeling the palm facing away from me. Feeling the hands stay in front of me more.  Downswing- Feel like I make a big long arc with the butt end of the club to my right pocket. More out away from my shoulder. Combining this with recentering for timing. When I make a 60% swing, the clubhead feels like it’s arching from the inside and lower way more.

      Its tough, "greatest" is subjective, measured in many different ways, while goals and assists are simple numbers.  And even simple numbers aren't always directly comparable across eras, as you mention.  A truly amazing coincidence, if Ovi scores 2 goals in the next 2 games, he'll have exactly the same number as Gretzky (894), in exactly the same number of games (1487).
