  1. Hi All,

    I recently went through a "soft" fitting with an instructor at my local country club. I'll be ordering some T100s irons and these are the wedge selection we came up with.

    48.10 F 52.12 F 56.14 F 60.14K

    What do you guys think of the wedge selection? Is it diverse enough to handle sand, chipping, full shots, flops, etc?

    Thanks!

    Depends a lot on where you play, and in what conditions... but i don't see a club that will work well for a tight lie, firm lie, or a flop shot. That 60.14K will not really be effective for any of those. Other than that, the set makeup seems right for a steep swing in soft conditions.

    To maximize wedges they should be 4-5 degrees separation. As for bounce & grinds that depends on turf interaction where you play.

    My wedge setup is simple
    T200 AW 48* 08 F
    SM8 52* 08 F
    SM8 56* 10 S
    SM8 60* 08 M

    I don't like a lot of bounce & play neutral to slightly firm courses here in Ks. I'm a sweeper & not a digger with my full swings so less bounce works for me. I really love the S & M grinds around the green as they make shot making easier with a squared face in my opinion.

    Hope that helps,

  4. I believe the fitter should know your needs better. The selection of bounce is really personal.

    If you trust your instructor then it's probably the right choice for your course. Different course conditions may dictate different grind/bounce options. I have a 48-10, 52-08, 52-12, 56-08, 56-10, & 56-12 and switch them up now and then depending where I play. Most of the time it's the 52-12 and 56-10 as I seem to be able to make them work in most situations.

    The only sure thing I would add is, if you're right handed get right hand wedges and vise versa if you're left handed. Trust me on that. As a general rule 50% of the time I am 70% right.
