Wedges too soft?

[SimonAgren]

I'm playing KBS C-taper 130X in my irons.

I have standard shafts in my 50, 56 and 60 degree wedges. I only hit full shots with the 50 and 56, and when I do they seem to go incredibly high. The only time I have an "controlled trajectory" with them is the 75% shots and shorter.

Would it be a good idea to use the C-taper 125s+ in the 50 and 56. And maybe c-taper 120s in the 60 degree? How would this affect my half-shots?

Any other suggestions?

My suggestion would be to re-shaft your wedges one-at-a-time to evaluate the difference and decide on the next one. 

I play the same shaft in my GW that I do in my irons...it's pretty much an "11 iron", so having the same shaft makes sense.  The 56* is a little different.  You'll be hitting both full shots and partial shots, and your 60* just partials.  I hit more partial shots with my 56* than full shots, so I prefer a little softer, heavier shaft in that club.  I don't know if I like the idea of moving to lighter shafts in your two highest lofted wedges.  Since you are already playing pretty heavy shafts, you might consider going with the C-Taper 130X 8 iron shafts in your 56* and 60*.  This will give you more control over your trajectory but still allow you to hit the partial shots.

Yeah I agree!

So if i would reshaft my 50* as you suggest. How does it work, what shaft number do I ask for?

For your 50* you'll use the PW shaft.

Use 1/2 inch per 7 grams as your guide and tip trim accordingly.  A heavier club head, like a sand or lob wedge, requires that you break from the progression established in the iron set...if the idea is to create the same feel.
