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.

        Stainless frames with forged faces and a super attractive CNC insert.

        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.

          The Felons are made of harder steel so not for me.
          Otherwise, no issue here.
          The Inazone Shadows definitely spin though.

          sdandrea1 Unless you use the SW a lot in full shots from the fairway, you won't notice the gap.

          My "money" club is a 54Β° 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 50Β° gap wedge. A 52Β° works well for my old school irons sets with 48Β° PW.
          A Wishon HM 52Β° bent to 54Β° might be a good fit.

            If you find you like the Eye 2 head, the Eye 2+ SW is 53 degrees with a different sole grind.

              I do not believe that a wedge has been made, component or OEM, that can make me happy.

                Yep, the industry has yet to create a wedge that I can't skull, belly, shank or top. πŸ˜‰

                  I really love my SMT Durometer 56 degree component wedge and won't replace it until it wears out. My other all time favorite wedge is outside of the loft range (a 62 degree Slotline). I have a 52 degree gap wedge (I think it is a Cleveland TA that is either bronze or beryllium copper), but I'm Jekyll and Hyde with it and am about to try and find something else.

                  Can’t get away from mr TG wedges. Don’t get the new Tille wedge not offering a lob, I use my lob more than anything

                    I have a set of the F3 face forward clones that are supposedly shank proof. I proved that claim inaccurate. πŸ˜›

                    sdandrea1 they actually came in polished, copper and gun metal. Wish I would have held on to a copper set

                    Ping iWedge has been a mainstay in my bag. No matter what I tried, I ended up putting them back in. I even sold my original pair at one point, then bought a new pair. I did recently pick up a Cleveland CBX 60 wedge and the Ping iWedge is officially out of the bag. I am now looking to pick up a 56 CBX to replace my 56* iWEdge.

                    Sneakylong The marketing on them is since 84% of golfers play cavity back irons, why would you play a blade wedge?

                    What a crock of shit!
                    Decent looking aside from the gay blue on them.

                      I had a set of Eye 2+ years ago. Can't remember why I sold them. Will have another look.

                      BTW just snagged an Eye 2 LW to fill out my set. πŸ˜‹

                      And, Spuzz, my set of Eye 2's are black dot, not gayazz blue, so that makes them pretty. 😍
