Im contemplating my next bag rebuild already, and have some long term plans…
Set wedge: I like the gi nature of it and usually use my gap wedge for longer approach shots (50 and up). I tend to use my gap wedge for the bump and run around the greens and not much else.
“Pro” wedge: I’m currently playing a 50 degree sm7. I like that it generates more spin on longer shots but don’t love the lack of forgiveness… it’s also sort of an odd man out as it doesn’t really match my other wedges or my irons… that’s my fault.
Depending on how I like them, I might go 3-4 of the “new” mizuno wedges… ideally, I’d have matching wedges from gw to lob wedge… pitching wedge will likely stay a set pitching wedge unless I really like the mizuno (or possibly callaway).
My current working theory is I’d rather give up a marginal amount of workability for some forgiveness… but I also want to maximize spin in my wedges.
My guess is the “new” breed of wedges are going to really help amateur golfers around the greens… I’m excited to try them.
