    Please tell me it will be added to the lineup of the SM5's.

    Order a 62 degree and have it bent 2 degrees weak. But in all honesty, I know very few players that should actually carry a wedge with that much loft. I have fit a number of plus handicap players for wedges and the most loft any of them carry is 60 degrees.
  3. There is a 62.08 but I do not see that advantage of a 64 degree wedge in the line up...you can bend the 62 to 64 easily...no additional cost...IMHO

    Most players stop at a 60...probably would not be a big seller... JAT

    I hope they add the 64.  As someone who plays a wedge set consisting of 46, 52, 58, and 64 degrees, it serves me well for distance and loft gapping.  Not to mention when I short side myself or have a downhill lie in a greenside bunker, it's a club I can use with confidence.

    The 64 serves a small niche market and hopefully with more grinds/bounces with 60 degree wedges, the greenside performance will surpass the 64, as least as far as my perception.

    On the bright side I can take the 62 and bend it two degrees weaker for a 64-10.  However, it would take time getting used to the extra bounce (my 64 is 7 degrees bounce).

    Greetings to all,

    The highest loft we offer in the SM5 lineup is our 62* T Grind Wedge.  In SM4, there was very little demand for 64* from consumers.  In addition, our fitters commented that these wedges are hard to fit because most players don't practice enough with them.  

    We also have zero players using a 64* Vokey  on the PGA Tour.  So we made the decision to add models to the 58* and 60* models which are much more popular.  

    As mentioned above, we can bend the 62* to 64* which would add 2* of bounce but still be very playable due to the trailing edge grind on the T Grind.  

    Hope this helps and we appreciate your support of the new SM5 lineup!
