Re: I got a new wedge today...

.


There's nothing like the feel of a forged wedge!

I played a Vokey for a while but I didn't like it either. It was too hard and it just didn't have that solid feel. Your Tourstage sounds like a nice club and with that S200 shaft it must really feel smooth.

I imagine it's similar to using the old 8-iron shaft trick only with a bit more kick at the bottom. A 58 with a shaft like that ought to get you a solid 70 to 75 yards with a little extra when you need it. If you get a 52 or 53 to go with it along with a similar shaft, you'd probably be pushing 110 without jumping on it.

Personally, I like a bit stiffer shaft in my wedges otherwise they tend to feel a bit whippy with a full (3/4) swing and I tend to lose the clubhead a bit. But for smooth easy shots without pushing too hard, the S200 seems perfect.
