Dear Roger,
I would like a PM Grind in the MD4 wedges in a 54-56 loft as a SW. April?
Hahaha, hey, I want MD4's with gull face grooves while we are wish listing it!

have you considered the 54/W? It's pretty versatile and the W sometimes scares people off.

Damn, that would be cool.
The new 50 Degree MD4 was a spinning machine this weekend. Hit this from 115 out, pin high (divot half way up ridge to the left) and spun all the way back. I am absolutely love these things around the green. This one didn't have the best result but I blame the slope that gave this a little extra speed off the spin.
I know I’m going to get 52, 56, 60. I just can’t figure out what grind for the 56. I’m going 52 s grind and 60 c grind for sure. The 56 I’m torn between the s and c. I’ve ruled out the w for sure. Any thoughts??
I am certainly not doubting your review @JDax, but it threw me a bit seeing your total distance being 5 yeards further than the carry distance with your 54, especially with spin over 10K?

It depends what you are using the 56 for, if that if your bunker club, I would get the C...

I say in the review that I’ve seen no issues with stopping the ball, I took my average with the New Chrome Soft, I saw less spin and more carry with other balls. I used the Chrome Soft in all of my other reviews, so I used that number here to be consistent throughout. Use the Carry Yardage because that’s what I’ve seen on the course.

I know, I guess I just can't get my head round the sim showing that much difference between the carry and total when you consider the spin, because, like you say, you have no problems stopping the ball - certainly not doubting your review :thumb:
Mainly because I have seen/used sims that will show a ball backing up after landing if the spin is high enough
Thanks JDax!!! C grind it is. Was leaning that way slightly but that put me over the top. Of course I’ll hit them first just to be sure
Wish the dang C grind had a bit more bounce. I'm sure options will expand eventually but I'm pretty sure I'm going with C grind. Just steep nature and 8* bounce is scary. Gotta see if I can open new face on W grind though. If I can, winner.
54*. X Grind would be a shoe in but it's not available.What loft are you looking at for that? May want to check out the X grind if it's lob wedge territory. More bounce with enough relief to provide versatility.

Good thoughts tenputt. Enjoyed that post. Agree on the feel compared to the Forged a good bit.I will add my two cents... I had some Glide 2 wedges and a Titleist 917 driver that had been gathering dust, so I traded them in and added a little cash to acquire three new MD4 wedges, a 52 S bent to 51, a 56 S bent to 55, and a 60 X grind. I played them today during a quick 9 and then messed around with them for a bit after finishing the 9.
They do not feel as soft as my MD forged, but they have a very satisfying feel, sort of a soft, dense sensation, if that makes any sense. They are fantastic with full swings. They spin madly, as much as any wedge I have ever played. The yardages are good. They are truly easy to hit with full swings. I have not yet tried them out of the sand, so I cannot speak to them there. I was struggling with the X grind during my round. After the round, I got a feel for it. Here is my warning on the X grind. You CANNOT come at the ball with a steep swing. If you do, you will struggle. The club will dig. If you make sure you shallow out the swing, the club becomes magical. The ball will stop exactly where it lands like it is a magnet and the ground is a big piece of iron.
I think I am going to really like them, but they are not as easy to use out of the gate as my MD forged were. Once I adjust, I think they will be real weapons.
