I can't believe I forgot I have 16000 "Builders Club Points"!!! They carry the Vokey wedge's - spin milled, tour chromed, oil can and spin milled in oil can! They also have all the other popular brands, RAC satin TP, all the Cleavland's - CG11, Cg12, CG14, 588's. All the wedges run 4005 points each! Sweet, a free wedge set! OK here is the question: Spin Milled 54, 56, 58 and 60 what do I do about a 50 or 52? oil can or chrome. 54 is only available in oil can 200 series 52-56-60 oil can or no ? Cleavland CG 12 black pearl is available in all the lofts I have talked about. CG 14's same as the 12's

I have been looking around.... 90% of the wedge sets on Ebay are 52-56-60. I stopped into a Mammoth Golf store and looked at wedges, I saw RAC Satin, not available in 50, Cleavland CG 11, 12's, and 14's. NO Titleist in stock. They said the Milled Spin is not going to be produced again. Titleist wants a wedge that will conform to the new groove standards and will be releasing a new wedge. I have no idea if this is true, just what they told me. I looking hard at the CG11's, but my mind is changing by the hour!

I think you are right about the 50-54-58. I tried a demo 60 and 58 at a short game facility and the 58 just felt better to me. Laxplayer... thank you for all the links, very helpful. I looked at the other RAC lines and only one offers a 50*, don't recall the name, but it was in the $79 range. I hate to spend anothe 250 -300 on 3 wedges right now until I play a little longer. Bounce... Yes I have read about the bounce. I play public courses in Maryland mostly. Timbers of Troy one time, and Bowie about 5 times. I have only played about 7 times total so my experiance with different courses is almost non existant. Another reason I am thinking of just filling the gap and use what I have for a while.

All the replies are helping a lot, Thanks! I picked up the OS irons in mid summer for 399 new. The prices are now falling hard, 2008 is coming! If I can pick up a used 50* OS wedge for under $30-35 I think I will go for that for now and then take my time and shop around for a nice 3 wedge set. With a pitching wedge at 45* I am thinking a wedge set should be 52-56-60. Is that OK or is it to big of a gap between the 45* pitching wedge and the 52* ? Maybe 50-54-58 ? Thanks again for all the help

Thanks guys, Yes I do Like the irons. I have read were they can not be used to "work the ball" as well as some other models, but I am just concerned about hitting it straight and a consistent yardage at the moment. I know they are 2005 "vintage" models. ;) I did get the loft/spec chart from the Taylor made site. Maybe you can help explain why some wedges look sharper at the bottom of the face then the RAC OS's ? Is it just looks or do the sharper faced clubs do something different? I hate to put aside the OS-SW, but it is not appealing to my eye. Maybe it is the rounded bottom of the face? I got my dads old clubs when he passed away (92 years), and in the set he has a Ben Hogan "Sure on" and "Sure Out" wedge. I think the sure out is 56* and sure on a 46*. Ohh and I use the Burner for a driver right now. For some reason I can just hit that thing straight as an arrow?

Hello, I am a new (reborn) golfer... I played golf all the time when I was 11-15 years old. My parents were members of a Country Club and I played a couple of times a week. Long story short, we moved and I never played again until a few months ago. I went on a 3 night getaway from the kids and borrowed my brothers clubs on a whim. I played 9 holes 2 days in a row and I was hooked! I am 44 now. A few weeks after I got home I went out with my brother club shopping. Her is what I picked up..... Irons - RAC OS irons, 3-PW and a SW. Burner 5 wood - I love this club! Calaway 460 Driver - I keep it in the bag for now until I can hit it straight I was shooting in the 110's - had 2 lessons, watched a lot of "lessons with the pro's" on the golf channel - shot a 95 yesterday! I am still developing a swing so I am a little wild at the moment but working on it! So here is my first question: My PW is 45*, SW is 55* I feel like I need something between the PW and SW. Would you advise me to pick up a RAC OS approach wedge AW at 50* to keep the clubs consistent or remove the SW and buy a set of 3 wedges? I have read so much about wedge's that I am totally confused. I think I would prefer to just add the OS -AW wedge then spend a lot more money on clubs at this early stage of learning. Sorry to ramble on, thank you for the help!
