    So i was lacking some spin with my wedges so i replaced my 56.10 & 60.04 SM4 with the same in SM5. What i have found is i can no longer play full shots with the SM5 at anywhere near what i was hitting my SM4 for example my 56 was 105m on full shot no lucky to get 80m. Yes i know worn grooves will add distance but this is something completly different. It is very frustrating. Pitch shots are fine just full swings.

    DeanoBravo, I am assuming that you replaced your wedges with the identical wedge only new model (same loft and bounce, shaft, etc...)??? I switched from SM4 to SM5 and I haven't had any issues....

    Yes exactly same length, loft and lie. Used my old wedges and had them set exactly the same.

    I would suggest having the lofts verified (I have my lofts checked every year when I replace the grips)

    Did you have the loft & lie checked? Like Corey T is it the same shaft & flex?
  6. That is weird. Are they going much higher? If so, may be do to more spin. I had a similar experience happen myself when I switched from a RTX 56 to a Titleist SM6. For me one thing that changed was bounce and grind. I had a 14 bounce RTX and now have 10 bounce S Grind SM6. The grind is the big difference for me. I love the S grind green side but suffer from longer range. Grind may be something to investigate since SM4 had less grind focus. Hope this helps!

  7. You might want to check the weight of the club head.
