Bending wedges

Depends on what you want to do to the bounce (as a secondary effect). Strengthening the loft reduces bounce while weakening the loft increases bounce. I went with taking a 56 to a 55 but YMMV.

WRT to the highest loft, it really depends on your comfort and use of the club. I rarely (almost never) take a full swing with my 60 - for me it is a specialty around the green, in the bunker etc. type of club and I use it a lot. If I thought I would use it more for a full swing, I would most likely go 58. Again, YMMV - it really depends on your use case.

As Jason mentioned bounce... each 1* of loft change will alter bounce 1*. 54* bent to 53* will decrease loft 1* - so a 54.10 will change to a 53.09.

But I had the same dilemma as you - 48*, 52*/54* and 58*. More importantly, a 52* Vokey only comes in the F grind - pretty standard sole meant for full shots but doesn't allow for different shots around the green where you might want to open the clubface.

However 54* Vokey's are available in F, D & S grinds - allowing for more versatility around the greens. I went 54* S grind bent to 53* for gapping to the 48*.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jason and James,
Some food for thought. Haven’t decided yet on which way I’ll go, but now I have an idea to play with and see what works better.

I tend to bend strong for less bounce on some wedges.

Not sure if you play T300 or higher, but when I was fitted to my T300 I ended up buying the 48 and 53 wedge sets and haven't looked back. I just like the forgiveness as those are my full swing clubs. I do have the 56F and 60D in the bag to compliment my inside 100yd clubs

Maybe ask this question under the vokey thread.

Bend the 52 up. It already likely comes with less bounce and the shaft will be 1/4" longer and allow you a better fuller wedge swing.
