    Interesting....I'm looking at the Callaway X Forged wedge to fill the gap between my PW and GW since Mizzy doesn't make a 50*. What loft is it? In your opinion, should I run with that or get the 51* Mizzy and have it bent to 50*?

    my Cally is a 50, followed by 54 and 58. honestly, i am a huge proponent of matching wedges so i would get the Mizzy in 51. play around with it....see if the extra 1* makes a noticeable difference and if so....bend it.


    i have played around with a mixed wedge bag but always found more confidence in my game when they were all alike. i have run the gammut of just about every top line OEM in the wedge department. i am severely close to jumping off into the deep end of smaller, more custom wedge manufacturers. wedges are like crack. yummy addictive crack.

    Mizuno continually makes some of the prettiest irons out there. What'd they do with the MP52 from last year to this year? I really liked hitting them, they're in my top 3 favorite irons.

    Their drivers always feel good, and look good at address, but the track sole kind of weirds me out (I'm afraid I couldn't help myself from constantly tinkering with the moveable weights)
    I like to think of myself as a student of the game... it's just too bad that I'm in special ed.

    There new fitting shaft system could in fact change the way many are fitted. We will have a story on it soon, but it was HUGE at demo day. Clamp it on an iron and you are ready to go.

    no I still carry my PW (46*) so I'm looking for a 50* to fill in the 46-53* gap. although I'm tempted to leave that gap there and possibly get another hybrid.

    I also was able to check out the black oxides as well....I just worry that the club face may be a little too small.

    5 wedges? i went to four wedges and dropped my 5-iron. the adjustment was odd at first....but i spent so many hours in short game and working on various 4-hybrid shots that i finally worked the kinks out.

    yeah it would be 5 wedges if I added the 50* That's why I'm starting to think about leaving that gap and adding a 4 hybrid or dropping the 5 iron like you did and still picking up the 50* wedge
