G'day THP'ers! I'm after your insight as to what wedges to get and how many. If you were in the following situation, what would you purchase?
I currently have the following wedges and am a bit unhappy with gapping and how to use so looking to replace 1 or 2:
50 degree Cobra Tour Trusty with Nippon 120S to match my irons. Enjoy full swings with this and also don't mind chipping around the green
56/12 degree Cobra Tour Trusty with DG S400. Mainly used for bunkers and feel shots around the green.
60/08 degree Cobra Tour Trusty with DG S400. only used for flops, eggs in bunkers, need to hack out of thickish rough.
I find that the gap between the 50 and 56 is too much. It's around 25 metres (27 yards). The 60, I don't really use for full swings very often if at all. More touch shots.
So, my thought was as follows but was unsure of bounce options and brand (I play in fairly soft conditions although I am not a big divot taker). Would you go:
54/12 to replace the 56? I'd also consider putting the same Nippon shaft in this or
54/08 to replace the 56? I'd also consider putting the same Nippon shaft in this
Would you keep the 60 or go to a 58? Would that be determined if you chose the mid bounce or high bounce option in the 54?
The next question would then be, what brand? I've had no issues with the Cobra's, really like the look of the RTX4's, don't like the look of the Ping Glides or the Hi Toe/PM grind wedges. What would you do THP'ers? I need your help!
P.S. I would prefer black wedges this time round. Found the sun glares too much off silver!
