    48F custom ground from wedge works to make the F grind resemble the S grind. I had the trailing edge ground down and the top line thinned. I wanted it to match my blades better.

    54S so the trailing edge was cut down; I love the way it cuts through the turf.

    60D because I love the M but needed more bounce.

    This has been a solid set of wedges. 3 months ago, switched to an MB PW. So I’m back to a setup similar to what I used in 2014.

    I just recently upgraded my wedge setup. I have been using 695MB P and SM7 50-08 for some time now. I just changed my primary sand club to SM9 58-14K (bent to 46*). My Wedgeworks 64W has been in my bag since Oct 2020. The 50-08 is bent to 49* because I like the bounce better and it facilitates a Sunday bag.
  9. As a data analyst I would love to see this in a more formalized survey, but to answer…

    Upstate NY - cool wet too hot and dry same wedges
    48.10F SM8
    54.12D SM8
    58.08M SM9 bent one weak to 59.09

    50.08F
    54.14F
    60.08M

    I like having a high-bounce SW and a lower-bounce LW to have more versatility. Living in Michigan it can be bone dry or soggy wet, so need both. In my SM4 and 6 sets I had a 60.04L but didn't love the lack of forgiveness so went with the 60.08M this time and love it. Can still slide under it in tight lies with that grind but have a little help at the end.
