Loft/Grind/Bounce Survey

48F custom ground from wedge works to make the F grind resemble the S grind. I had the trailing edge ground down and the top line thinned. I wanted it to match my blades better.

54S so the trailing edge was cut down; I love the way it cuts through the turf.

60D because I love the M but needed more bounce.

6 Handicap

This has been a solid set of wedges. 3 months ago, switched to an MB PW. So I’m back to a setup similar to what I used in 2014.

SM9s

Gap Wedge - 48*F 10• Full shots around 115 yards, pitch shots from within 100 yards, bump and run chip shots around the green.


Sand Wedge(Not Really) - 54*S 10• Full shots from around 95 yards, pitch shots from within 100 yards, most used club around the green, get creative with the club (open face, deloft, etc), long sand shots as well.

I just recently upgraded my wedge setup. I have been using 695MB P and SM7 50-08 for some time now. I just changed my primary sand club to SM9 58-14K (bent to 46*). My Wedgeworks 64W has been in my bag since Oct 2020. The 50-08 is bent to 49* because I like the bounce better and it facilitates a Sunday bag.

As a data analyst I would love to see this in a more formalized survey, but to answer…

I like having a high-bounce SW and a lower-bounce LW to have more versatility. Living in Michigan it can be bone dry or soggy wet, so need both. In my SM4 and 6 sets I had a 60.04L but didn't love the lack of forgiveness so went with the 60.08M this time and love it. Can still slide under it in tight lies with that grind but have a little help at the end.
