Wedge discussion

I am looking to get a new wedge if not 2. The lofts that i am looking at are 52 and 56. I would like to get vokey wedges but i do know know which wedges will be best for me. What wedges should i get?

Vokeys are great wedges.

You need to find out what your PW loft is, but generally speaking 52 56 60 is a good wedge combo.

Well you should try all the wedges first, to see what you like and what feels the best to you, some good wedges are the rac's ( i have ) cleveland cg10's and the mizuno's are quite goood, and also the vokeys like you said you wanted!

It depends on what you want from a wedge. I have tried most of the various models out on the market. Most of the Vokey and Cleveland designs tend to be better for long wedge shots (gap wedges) since they are more traditionally blade shaped. The Mizuno wedges are quite heavy soled and are better as Sand and Lob Wedges. Taylor Made wedges are actually really good but just never seemed to get enough good press. Cobra Wedges are superb by the way but not the easiest clubs in the world to find for sale, I only know of a few retailers in my area that have anything like a stock of them.

If you are looking for decent value wedges the new Ram wedges are really quite good clubs and excellently priced.

Snake Eyes make great wedges as well but they are extremely hard to find unless you are in the states. If you are then go to www.golfsmith.com for details.

Wow - @ 45* that's a low - lofted PW! I would suggest a 50*, 54 or 55*, and a 60* wedge.

Ideally, you'd go 49*, 53*, 57* but that would require some serious customization.

The other consideration in your wedge is the amount of bounce it has. The less bounce, the more the wedge 'digs'. So if you have coarse sand or thick rough, lower bounce wedges are best. Fine sand would require more bounce.

The loft on the pitching wedge might get as low as 45° but its not very common. I would get it checked to be sure.

If it is 45° then you should probably be looking at 50°, 55° and 60°.

If you go for the 49°, 53° and 57° combo then you are looking at Clevelands, I think they are the only company that do all the lofts from 47° to 64°.

The shaft length is usually constant from the 9 Iron down to the lob wedge the distance comes from the loft changes.

I dont know what my loft is actually. I looked up the info i recieved and it was the info for the burner lcg's not my lcg's. What is an easy way to find the loft of it because i cant find it online.

Believe it or not, the easiest way is with a protractor. If it's a clear 180* protractor (the ol' math semicircle), put your club in address position, and hold the protractor against the tip of the toe. Look through the protractor to see the loft.


If you've got a hinged device, you can use it to measure the loft. Set the hinged device flat on the table, put the club next to it (address position), and open the hinged device until it's both flat on the club face and flat on the table.

Maintain the angle, get the protractor, and measure from the 2 contact points (clubface and table).
