  • What Are Your Favorite Wedges - Component Or OEM?

My current gamers are Snake Eyes 685BX in 52+56 and my favs.

I now have some Wishon PCF Micro Tours (thanks to candukid and his JethroTille find) so will test them out after I get them bent (52-56-60)

Have played many kinds over the years (all with about the same results) but the best SW I ever had was a Purespin clone (Accuspin) that could spin a TopFlite rock backwards but chewed up urethane and spit it out (and also left a yellowish mark on the ball)
I wish I had that one back (gave to son and his bag was stolen)

    candukid Well, I lived for my Eidolons (dual bounce sole) until I got my OMG Tille wedges.

    I looked at the Tille but my issue is going from a 84mm iron head to a 75mm wedge. It just looks funny to me at address. I saw the Tille posted as having a 75mm length.

      Spuzz I now have some Wishon PCF Micro Tours

      One of the reasons I am looking is that I don't hit the Wishon 870ti and the Sterling SW and AW very well.

      I had the Purespins and another similar set that would tear up balls like a cart path.

          Wishon PCFs are 80mm and 59mm toe height.
          The Micro Grooves are 82mm with a 61mm toe height which is in your ball park.

              Just looked at those in the catalog. Those might work, but $30 shipping chills the deal.

                  My favorites right now are the Cleveland CBX wedges. The marketing on them is since 84% of golfers play cavity back irons, why would you play a blade wedge?

                  The V sole seems to work well for me whether in the sand, rough of fairway. I have the 54 and 60 degree.

                    Reid Lockhart/Eidolon/Scor. Never use anything else and haven't for years.

                    The last few months I’ve been baggin my Cleveland RTX wedges. But I do have Wishon PCF’s in the Wishon bag and Callaway Mac Daddy’s in the Callaway bag, with Vokey’s on standby. Been eyeballin thos OMG Tille wedges lately, looking for something for winter ball and extremely tight lies around the greens. I hate putting from 30 feet off the green, but I hate thinning and chunking wedges from tight lies even more.

                      Low bounce LW is your friend.
                      I have a 60* Bailiwick thin sole wedge just for that, plus hard pan bunkers.

                          Spuzz Low bounce LW is your friend.

                          I have an old Wilson "Sandy Andy" low bounce SW in the closet. 57° 4° bounce and it is huge. 😜

                            I also have a Wishon PCF Wide Sole 55/05. May put this and that Vokey in the bag for a trial run this winter......

                              I had some Raven Nearnet wedges that were a bit on the bigger size.
                              Maybe you can find some on ebay?

                              I also liked the DTG Inazone Shadow wedges but they are on the small side for you.
                              Quality and feel are good on these, along with the spin.
                              Maybe the newer models are a bigger size?
                              Those blade length type specs aren't listed on the DTG website though
                              🙁

                                Rickochet I have those but haven't hit them yet. Big loft gap between W and SW.

                                Unless you use the SW a lot in full shots from the fairway, you won't notice the gap. I use the W for full shots from 85 - 90 yards and as an all purpose wedge around the green. I use the SW out of greenside bunkers and flops.

                                    Just dug through my parts bin. I found two DTG Felon Rip Groove wedges that I recall hitting pretty well. I also found some GS Snake Eyes Z-9 SW and LW that are huge as well. Might have to give them another go.

                                      Not familiar with those SE wedges but good luck.
                                      Larger size component wedges seem rare these days, so Id hang on to them if you like them.

                                      Felon wedges large too? Just curious.
