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.
What Are Your Favorite Wedges - Component Or OEM?
Canβt get away from mr TG wedges. Donβt get the new Tille wedge not offering a lob, I use my lob more than anything
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.

sdandrea1 If you find you like the Eye 2 head, the Eye 2+ SW is 53 degrees with a different sole grind.
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.
And, Spuzz, my set of Eye 2's are black dot, not gayazz blue, so that makes them pretty.

In the bag since beginning of 2015 and staying.
I really like the Maltby M-Series Wedges I am currently playing. I need wedges with not much bounce and the Maltby lines have several bounce options. I am currently gaming a 50 and 54 with a 60 sitting under the Christmas Tree. The 54 is deadly. I had my ACE with this club at 120 yards and a few rounds prior holed out from 100 yards for par on a par 3 after I put a tee shot in the water. Before these I was playing a set of Scratch Wedges that were low bounce. I liked those a lot but I like the Maltby's better.

Its been so long since ive used a component wedge i forget those that were especially good. RL were decent and got play, tried all the Wishons....somso
the Eidelon 60 i kept for quite a while before i gave it away, have some SMT durometers not in use.
In my Arozona bag i have Edels and Pings , here love my Ping eye 2 SW, best wedge ever, so versatile. Macdaddy wedges also great. Built some Maltby tours for my bud who is a low single and he loves them. I might try some myself this year.
I still use my SMT Durometers. I like them, always have. I dropped out of the 'new club rat race' 5 years ago at least. Other than replacing a broken driver (twice ) I haven't changed much in my bag since FGI's heyday.

Played Eidolon and Reid Lockharts for years. Still have an unused set of Eidolons waiting. Also have sets of Cleveland RTX's (too big for my eye), Wishon PCF's (just OK), Snake Eyes Box Grooves (too big for my eye), Callaway Jaws (too much bounce). Finished the season playing a new set of Vokey SM4's that I re-shafted with UST Proforce Axivcore wedge shafts to match my Adams A7 Pro irons. After some getting used to they performed really well.
Sneakylong That tiny blue writing
Ya.
Blue sucks, especially that shade. I am sure that blue is popular in Florida though.
Plus the marketing spin, the short lengths, high bounce numbers and lack of other specs (shaft, heel toe length, toe height) as well.
Otherwise, have at it
LOL

Sure you didn't have them mixed up with the CBX irons? After all the tiny blue writing on the CBX wedges is real prominent. Wouldn't be the first time you went off half cocked before having all the facts.

Whatever.
