    That is what I thought, until I met Bob Vokey and his team at Pinehurst in the spring....I was playing S300 irons and wedges and he told me I needed R300 wedges, so based on his knowledge of wedges I made the change. My vokey wedge shaft is lighter that the shafts in my irons.........has made big difference.....I can now count on it....

    Currently SM6:
    50.08 F
    54.08 M
    58.08 M

    ...becoming more difficult but still able to spin- groves are wearing. Stopping power on firm greens are much lesser. The SM4 are pretty much shot.

    Near Future SM8:
    (I would like the same loft and lie)

    Old post I know but..

    718 AP2 P 46
    Cally MD4 50/10
    Cally MD4 54/10
    Cally MD4 58/10
    Cally MD4 58/12

    4 degree gapping from 6i - 58.

    The 58/10 is a new addition, I feel it's more suited to the more solid lies we find in summer whilst the 58/12 is for winter.

    I used to go up to a 62 lob but removed it to add a hybrid 21.

    46 , 50 , 56 and 60 for me personally
  14. I've stumbled into an oddball setup lately. My 718 AP2 set goes all the way up through the "P" (46 degree) and "50" (gap) wedges. So I use three Vokey real wedges after that.

    But my current setup is a 54.14F (bent strong to 53.13F) then a 58.04L (bent weak to 59.05L) and a 60.12D at stock loft. It's weird having that six-degree gap between the 53 and 59 then almost identical lofts with two lob wedges.

    But the L-grind and D-grind could not play more differently. So there's no overlap really. The D-grind is for full swings or for pitching the ball off good lies. The L-grind is for bunker shots and for hitting the ball out of thick lies in the rough or hardpan lies. I just can't get the sort of results out of the bunker with the 60.12D that I can with the 59.05L and I can't trust the L-grind not to dig on full swings.

    The 53.13F is good for longer bunker shots and is great on full swings from fairway or rough. My preferred layup distance is about 75 yards, I open the face slightly on the 53-degree then make a full swing. Nice trajectory, plenty of spin, very repeatable distance.

    Really no need for another full-swing club between the 53 and the 60 although most people might feel otherwise. I'm a short hitter for full swing with the 53 is about 85 yards and full swing with the 60 is about 70 yards, not really much of a gap for a 7-degree loft increment.

    These are all the wedges I have available. I'm using the 46-10 as a 9 iron with the loft bent to 44*. The 58-08M is bent to 57 for a minimalist setup (44-50-57-64). If one were to bend the 50-08 to 48, the 54-10S to 52 and the 58-08M to 56, VOILA! "Traditional" spacing plus a 64.

    I also find the 60-14K easier for fairway shots than a D grind bent 2* strong.

    This is IT. Lofts 44-50-56-60-64. Almost "traditional" The picture attached shows why I carry a 64. Bottom left is where the ball lands. This bunker has some pretty firm sand. I had a couple of one putt greens with the 56.

    As shown in the thumbnail, 44-50-54-58-64. I replaced the 60-14K with a 58-04L. Had a shootout between the 56-08M shown and a 56-14F (both bent 2* strong). Pretty close except when it comes to cut and flop shots. The M grind wins out. If you eyeball them, the M grind's leading edge has the same bounce as the F grind. The L grind won out on flop shots over K grind. The advertised bounces can be deceiving.
