In our forums, WRXer ‘jjfcpa’ has dedicated a thread to non-set wedges and wants to know what fellow members in the 10-18 handicap range are playing. Per ‘jjfcpa’, he plays “a 54* MD5 W Grind (12* bounce) for my sand wedge with Project X Catalyst 80 graphite shaft and a 48* MD5 S Grind (10* bounce) as my approach wedge.”
Our members have been mentioning the wedges they’ve plumped for and how the wedges have helped them lower their scores.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- platgolf: “I am bouncing around(pun intended) between SM7’s and Glides. I pulled the 50* Glide for a Vokey, but find the Glide more forgiving on long shots, so back in the bag it goes. I really like the 58* Vokey D grind and 12* bounce. I need more time on the Vokey 56* F grind w/14* bounce sand wedge.”
- mantan: “Cleveland CBX2 wedges. Absolute game changers for me. My instructor had suggested the originals, and I was lukewarm to them. After working on my short game a lot last year, I bought the 54*. I quickly ran and got the 50*. Cleveland did a great job of creating a cavity-backed wedge that is great on full shots and excels in the short game. I just got the CBX Full Face 58* (need to update the signature). I haven’t had a chance to actually hit it yet.”
- BPetry: “Vokey SM 8 48* gap, SM 7 52* approach, and SM 7 56* sand. They gap perfectly with my 44* Cobra Forged Tec 2020 PW. Wedges have always been the best part of my game. I have used Mizunos and Callaways in the past but always keep coming back to Vokeys…”
- pduvie: “Currently my handicap is 15.3…I was using Vokey SM7 but went back to my favorite wedges…CBX2 52, 56 and 60…I am more confident with these wedges, I used to play with CBXs, and now I have returned to CBX2…I really love these wedges.”
- VictoryValiant: “Currently playing MD4s with varying bounce and grind: 52° – S grind (10° bounce), 56° – W grind (12° bounce) and 60° – X grind (12° bounce). Debated upgrading to the MD5, SM8 or Glide 3.0, but will likely wait.”
- Subsonic: “Cleveland CBX. 54 and 58. Love them. They are game-changers for my short game.”
