  • What Are Your Favorite Wedges - Component Or OEM?

It's very early (played twice this year), but I'm in love with the Callaway Mack Daddy wedges I picked up over the winter. Short game has been (pretty much) on point thus far, which is unusual for me when I haven't played much.

After getting used to the rounded leading edge these have proven to be a very good wedge for me.

      Eguller You really should do your own 'equipment review' blog, thread, etc. 🏌 🙃

      He hits it once... his reviews would be like the old tv “In Living Color”... the “men on film” bit where a movie comes up and all they say is “Hated it!”

        I've been playing the Maltby Tricept 52* and Maltby M+ Series 56* for a couple of years now.....no plans to
        change.

        I'm in the same camp with the Maltby TSW. I wish I could get a 58 w/ 8* bounce. Right now I play 50 and 54. The 54 is pretty easy to open up and hit it higher, though.

            Never really played OEM wedges. I do have a couple Cleveland wedges I picked up here and there, but never used them on the course. My go too for years have been Maltby wedges. They have a good selection of lofts for my preference. Currently playing a 54° Maltby wedge as I need the stronger loft for approach shots and can open it up for higher shots.

            I do wish I could find a 55° PureFit IDraw wedge head. I play the 51° IDraw and sucker can put some hurt on a golf ball. I don't think they are conforming anymore, but I really don't give a crap!

            TheBlade I just assumed that the TSW 58 had 8 degrees of bounce like the M-series. How much playability difference is there with 2 degrees?

                Very little off the turf. I would just like a little more bounce if I needed it for bunker shots.

                  My best wedge ever was an old Cleveland Diadic 53 gap. Made a lot of eagles with it - thus the moniker.
                  Wore the beaut out. Replacement wasn't the same. 🙄

                    Took out my brand new maltby tsw drm 52 degree for a spin today. First swing off a tight tie a short chip, fatted it.

                    Next swing about 80 yrs out over a bunker, ball rolls to cup and hits pin and spins out.
                    All shots after that were fantastic. Easy to hit and forging feels great.

                      Great looking wedge head - I very tempted to pick up one. 😉

                        Eguller I think I have one of those in the garage someplace. A Diadic for sure, and pretty sure 53°.
