Looking for some new wedges
Posted on 8/12/26 at 6:42 pm

My 56 and 60 are by far the worse clubs in my bag. For the life of me I can't hit a decent full swing shot with either club. They are old Vokey's. I bought them used and I've probably had them for at least 15 years. The club face and grooves are pretty worn out also the shafts are original to the club. Two years ago I got fitted and bought Callaway Paradym irons. I hit them really well. The shafts are True Temper x100 x-stiff.
When the course is wet I tend to hit them really fat but my normal miss is blading the shite out of the ball and sending it well over the green. My approach wedge is 47 degrees. I hit it around 130 yards. Then there's a large gap to my 56 which I hit 100 yards. I'm thinking of getting a 52 and a 56 and just dropping the 60. Is it crazy to spend the money for a fitting for just wedges? For my wedges I've never paid attention to loft angle, bounce, grind, etc but I want to improve my game from 120 or so and in. Maybe a fitting would help.

Best move you can make. I did the same thing and haven't regretted it. Buy the Cleveland CTZ wedges, they are more of a cavity back wedge and are more forgiving. I have the full face CBZ in 52 and 56.

Played vokeys for years because they were “the best”. Got a Cleveland RTX6 zipcore for really cheap as a backup wedge. Quickly realized it was now my new favorite club in the bag after a few chipping sessions. Ended up replacing all my wedges with RTX and RTZs

I would suggest trying to find a fitting day at a local course that way you can be fit on actual grass. Fitting on a mat is useless .. And as far as that 60 degree goes you can definitely do with out it. I question why I even carry one sometimes..

I just switched to Cleveland RTZ wedges after reading their reviews
Heck they are even on amazon

I'm no expert on this by any means, but bounce plays a big factor in your wedges. I play a 52 and 56 fine, but can't hit my 60 to save my life. I started looking into it and my 52 and 56 are both 10 degree bounce, my 60 is 8. I'm probably going to pick up a 60 in 10 to see if I can play it better.
That said, I hit Vokeys, TM MG4, and Clevelands. I personally liked the feel of the Cleveland RTZ a lot better than the others I've tried. It has a softer feel to me. Despite how bad my control is, I'm noticeably better with the Clevelands than the others too. Vokey and TM felt like it popped off the face more to me.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I'll look into the Cleveland wedges. I played Cleveland for my 56 before the Vokey and from what I remember I hit it pretty well. Also need to search around for a possible demo or fitting day.

Check out Edison. Fantastic return policy.
I could not hit a 60 until I got my Edison wedge.
The multi-tiered sole makes it so easy to get through grass and sand ... especial hard-pan - tight lies.
I have 59, 55, and 51.
Love them.

Nice I'll look into them as well.

the taylormade MG wedges spin the most and are pretty soft. If you want a more clicky feel then vokey.

Kirkland Signature wedge set is the best value in golf for 95% of golfers. They are solid wedges. I am a 7 hcp and they are just as good as big name wedges. You get a 52,56,60 for the price of 1 titleist, callaway, taylormade wedge.
Only issue is they are butt ugly.

I don't know many people who have tried the Cleveland RTX6 zipcore and chose another wedge, myself included (from Callaway jaws to Cleveland zipcore).
And those who have (that I know) are just because they're more "loyal" to a particular brand

I came across these yesterday and looked at reviews. Most people seem to love them. Only issue is they are sold out for right handed. They just released the gen 3's so I assume at some point they would get them back in stock.
