What a dilemma.
My son, who just got 4 new SM8 wedges, gave me his old SM5's; still with lots of life in them. He gave me a 46F, 50F, 56M-bent to 55, and a 60 M. Well I'll tell you, I've never been a 60 degree wedge guy but after yesterday, I dumped my current 58 and put the 60 in the bag. All I can say is WOW. Wish I'd gone to it sooner.I hit some really nice pitch shots and recovery shots with it yesterday.
I did the same with the 56M, which leads to my dilemma; what to do with the 54 S grind I currently play.I love the M grinds interaction with the turf on chips and pitches, and how I'm able to open the face. When I bought the 54 s I didn't think there would be much of a difference between those 2 grinds, but the difference is significant.I had both in the bag yesterday for comparison and liked the M grind better.
I don't have a gap wedge, so I'm thinking of bending the 54 to 52, and trying to find a spot for it in the rotation.
