    I have been gaming SM6's (Yes I am aware we are about 15 generations past SM6) for quite some time now. Absolutely love them and would love to keep vokeys in the bag. However, with the cost of wedges it is tough to replace them in a timely manner. Especially with custom specs the price for 3 wedges can get out of hand quite quickly. Thoughts of going to a different wedge with less or no specialty grinds has creeped into my mind because of the ability to replace every 1-2 years.

    However, the appeal of higher end clubs are the wedge grind and bounce options but around me there are not very many options that do wedge fittings on grass to ensure the grind and bounce are appropriate for my game. Has anyone gone out of their way to get a wedge fitting in these conditions and have you seen a major difference in just doing the research online and making grind and bounce decisions based on your own intuition?

    The worst advice I ever got was from….me.

    There are online tools to select balls, irons, etc. Typically, these either only offer the premium balls from that company with obvious assumptions they didn’t get from me. What I will say is the Wedge Selection tool with Titleist gave me results that matched what I carried.

    Short of carrying a low single digit handicap or lower, the tool should come close to what you could expect on a turf/bunker fitting. Worth a try.

    Absolutely a guessing game without trying them on the turf you typically play hitting the various shots you encounter on the golf course. You can probably get away with guessing on a gap wedge and MAYBE sand wedge, but when you start getting inside 50 yards is where that grind fitting comes in handy. The correct grind will make you a better player, the wrong grind will work against you.

    I was just fitted for wedges by the titleist rep in a simulator being had rained for 4 straight days here in Mo. Found they are quite knowledgeable about being able to judge the best bounce even off artificial turf. Based on where the ball contacts the face. I was very impressed. Granted he admitted wasn’t quite the same as grass but they are able to get enough information to get you what you need.
