It has been way too long since I replaced my wedges. Was playing Cleveland cg14's for years and years...with the groove change, I figured they still had more bite than what is now "conforming". Boy, was I wrong!

I was unable to find a 52, 56, and 60, but got the latter two and have had the joy of hitting these wedges. Talk about bounce and stop!  Too be clear, I have only spun a few balls back in my life - when the green was tilted toward me and dry and short! However, these wedges are freakin' amazing. I suspect that they don't play much different than the Rotex wedges, or many other new wedges, but they have reinvigorated my desire to pull off very difficult shots. And, after just a couple rounds, they have saved me several strokes.

So, the 52 is shipping from Amazon as no pro shop or big box store in the Mid-Michigan area had one - ? - which seems strange to me.

My question to you guys is simply this, "Have you noticed a similar change in your shot-making ability when you replaced your wedges?"

Yes brand new wedges can be a lot of fun.  With the new grooves I haven't noticed a difference from previous models.

I just purchased a new to me 54 wedge and I notice a big difference in my shots, a much better difference. I can sweep the ball out of trap now and making more accurate shots around the green. Par 3 165 yards yesterday, I pushed it right into a grove of cedars from the tee, pin high about 20 yards off the green. I used my 54 and pitched from the trees, hit the green and sank a 25ft putt....a great par 3.

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

How are you finding these now? I'm looking at getting new wedges and have been very interested in the Mack Daddy's.
