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 )

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 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad. 
    • Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.
    • Gooch ended up getting the invite...
    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
