What Are Your Favorite Wedges - Component Or OEM?
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.
I do have a 60/04 Vokey I can try........
PING Eye 2 W, SW, LW for OEM
Maltby for components

Play it back in stance and it's good to go.
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.

Spuzz Not familiar with those SE wedges but good luck.
Stainless frames with forged faces and a super attractive CNC insert.
Larger size component wedges seem rare these days, so Id hang on to them if you like them.
Yep, gone the way of men's above the knee shorts.
Felon wedges large too?
Not too big for me. I think the 3rd gen is out and one review said whichever gen they had were a bit smaller than the previous. All three are listed on the DTG website as nonconforming because of the grooves but that might be marketing hype as I don't think they spin any more than any others.

My "money" club is a 54° wedge at 100 yards and less. I only use a higher loft in the sand or a get out of jail shot. That loft is good for my sets that have a 50° gap wedge. A 52° works well for my old school irons sets with 48° PW.
A Wishon HM 52° bent to 54° might be a good fit.
