Are Wedge Fittings worth it?

If they will waive the fee, why not.

Wedge shafts are very important IMO.

Still believe that S400 are the overall best for distance control and spin.

I would like to do this, made a switch and I think I need a lower bounce.

Mine wasn’t. But I’m a equipment nerd and know my AOA and very familiar win the type of turf i play on along with the sand. I also knew what type of shots i use each wedge for. Did the wedge fitting and was told my wedges were already perfect for me. But wedges putter and driver i think you should def get fit for if you’re serious about this.

Getting a wedge fitting inside off of a mat is pointless.

I understand your reasoning, but I think that is a very broad statement. Key data can be collected to determine a probable outcome. Launch angles, loft, lie, angle at impact, etc., would help give pretty accurate readings. I've done both.

I dont disagree but grind/bounce would play crucial role in all those, wouldn't it? Find it really hard to get the right grind off of a mat. YRMV

The iron fitting was definitely worth it to me. So I decided to go ahead and get fitted for my Wedges. It was done indoors using a trackman. I had to hit in front of the hitting mat where you would normally hit irons. So this better simulated typical fairway tight lie. The fitting was based on my 60degree wedge. Started out with full swings to get my numbers. Then he pulled up a course simulation Par3 and had me hit 50yard shots. I hit every wedge available. In the end I was best with the Cleveland RTX Zipcore line up. The fitter said for my swing he recommended using the same MMT Iron shafts that I I was fitted into in my Irons. I ended up ordering 50,54,60. The fitting fee was waived but the total for each wedge was about $245.00 which is around $100 more than an off the shelf Cleveland wedge. Assuming that these wedges perform well for me, I can justify spending the additional $300 for these custom clubs. Now the 4week wait lol

Wedges are the most important irons in your bag. Yes, go get fitted. There are even more variables to consider like bounce and grind. Not to mention what lofts you should be on. I'm on SM7s that I didn't get fitted for. My wedge game is great but I will not be skipping on a fitting when they are worn out. I'm guessing I would be fitted for a 60/56/52 and I currently have a 58/54/50 setup.

I went this past weekend to get fitted for wedges and I’m glad that I did. I was just going to order a set of Vokeys and use the online Titleist fitting guide. After hitting several Vokeys, the Cleveland’s were the best for my crappy swing. So it’s expensive but worth it to me. I’m now a true believer in getting fitted for all clubs.
