Wedge Fitting

Typhoon

Picked up my driver the other day at Ace of Clubs. While I was there i spoke with Frank over the concerns I had about wedge gaps and the difference in shaft weight between my Ping I irons with the Nippon Modus 105 and the wedge shafts in the pm grind...and wedge shafts vs. Regular set iron shafts.

Ended up going through a fitting and I could NOT be happier. I had uncertainty going in with this being the only part of my bag and game where i had questions...nothing seemed right to me.

Now it all works... thanks again to Frank at Ace of Clubs!

So ?

What did you ended up with ? And why did the choice helped .

It's my Calmly pm grind wedges that have the kbs tour v wedge shaft...125 grams. He's going to reshaft them with Nippon Modus3 105 wedge shafts. Much closer in weight to the modus 3 105 in my irons. He'll also check the lofts to make sure they are correct.

When I go back I'll bring my Ping gap wedge and then we can go up from there to see if the lofts need adjustment. He's thinking we'll take the 56 and 60 down 2 degrees each and leave the 64 at 64.

We'll see how it shakes out.

And Frank will put in the same shaft as what you have in your iron set, plus to check and adjust the loft to make the proper gaping for the set .
It used to be all the wedges have the same shaft as the iron set , then, someone started using the "wedge flex" in the wedges ( those sell the wedge separately than the iron set ).
But I always thought if it works in the iron set, then the same shaft should work well in the wedge. Normally it'll be tipped as the PW, or soft stepped as the 9 iron.
Won't have that choice if the shaft is butt trim to length only.

The weight difference is the big thing because I hit alot of full shots with them. The wedge shafts also bring the flight down so it's all good. I think if my iron shafts were the same weight as those KBS wedge shafts are I would have been fine with it.

Before wedge shafts, you're right, you had the same weight etc... So now I can get something that should be a bit better.

Frank goes over every detail... he doesn't miss anything. And he knows I ask 5000 questions too!

If the "sucker" 🍭 is happy, then nobody else has the business to burst the bubble.
