My current wedge a Cleveland 588 is showing signs of wear from 100+ rounds and subsequently I'm looking at getting a new one in the off season. Any advice would be appreciated, I know that Cleveland has a dozen different types and there are always the Titiest and others.

Thanks in advance

If you have great feel for your old wedge you can hold on to it . There are pro shops that can regroove the face and reangle the lie to match your specs . Maybe a New soft grip can be placed to give you more feel . Its your call . There are a lot of great wedges from Major manufacturers but you will have to take time out to try them and see which fits your style . Happy Hunting

If you like the Clevelands, look at the Callaway X Tour wedges formed by Roger Cleveland. Be warned though, the grooves will rip the face off a golf ball.

I have always loved my Titlesist Vokey spin-milled.

Have you ever tried them?

Prior to that I like the Cleveland CG10-they are just classics IMO

I bought a 60˚ Ping Tour W wedge and loved it. Two weeks ago I ordered a sand and gap wedge in the same model. Great face feel and spin out of them.

I love the feel of the my Mizuno T-Series (Black Nickel) wedges. They inspire confidence and don't rip the ball as much as the Volkey Spin Mill (I own a couple of these as well). The Volkey's stop the ball on a dime but I prefer the feel of the forged Mizunos. I will swap one for a Volkey however if the greens are hard/dry. Usually the 58* swapped for my Mizuno 56* SW.

@jammer

Do you have the latest 2008 model or the older ones?
I have the 2008 ones but wasn't able to take them out since I got them.
I am surprised that you say, that they are not comparable in terms of spin to the vokeys!

How much do you want to spend?

Scratch Golf makes the best wedges in golf; they are forged (unlike Cleveland and Vokey) and completely custom. You can have whatever finish, bounce, lie, length, grind, shaft, stamping, your heart desires. Like I said, you'll pay a little more but they'll treat you like a tour pro. (Wish I could afford them )

Taylormade: Superquad 9.5 Aldila VS Proto 'By You' 70-S
Sonartec: SS-07 14.0 Aldila NV 85-S

I just swapped my 588 56 for a vokey spin milled 54/10. It is more versatile than the 588 because I ordered the medium bounce. I also bought the 60/08.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
