   This looks like a True Temper endorsement.
   All but one of the wedges uses a TT shaft.

   As with the recent article on drivers, this shows the club brand is insignificant. Five top scramblers using 5 different companies. These 5 guys could use a garden rake and still be among the 5 best.

   Ie you can play almost any wedge you want as long as you find a fitter/club builder to make them fit your game.

   What a total load of Bull Sh*t, the way the Pro’s have their wedges/clubs setup is so personal (forget the advertised so called loft/bounce/grind) that this forum will never have a clue.

     A lot of the grind customizations are tweaked until they fit the eye and feel of the pros. Really can’t accurately describe them in a sentence or two so why complain about it?

   Most of them has custom grind and wieght and loft, thus, can’t take any face values of the stamps.

   Where is Michaelson’s?? Z. Johnson?? Stricker?? S. Garcia?? Oossie?? Are they “the top short-game players…” anymore??? Or they belong to “the Magicians…” category??

   I thought really hard about Tiger, and then… I back spaced….

   interesting, do they use the high loft wedges — J. Bird? for bunker play. i have a similar set up – used 56* with high bounce to get out of deep bunkers.

   As good as these guys are they don’t need high bounce wedges. Neither do most amateur guys who have really good short games. Higher bounce was created for higher handicappers.

   So out of 16 wedges only 4 have a bounce of 10 degrees or higher, yet in the instruction forum all the ‘experts’ preach high bounce. WTF?

     You gotta remember that the fairways they play on are pretty durn tight! Lower bounce deflects better and won’t dig as much.

       That is 100% false information. Lower bounce wedges dig more…

       Matt… high bounce = less dig. Low bounce = more dig.

     That’s because pros typically play courses with very tight fairways and especially around the greens. Most of them will use 12 degree opf bounce only on the sand wedges, so do I.

     Maybe, just maybe, because the PGA Tour guys are better golfers and have better short games than non pros?

     Makes sense due to the firm fairways they play on week in and week out. In the summer at my club, I play wedges with plenty of bounce due to how wet we have to keep the course to keep the grass alive, and then in the winter, when our fairways and surrounds get firmer and tighter, I switch to lower bounce wedges.

   So which ones of the top 5 are not endorsed by the company whose wedges they use?

    Not only is it cool to see what brand they are playing but what loft and grinds. Do they play 4 or 3 wedge sets and how they break their lofts down. Just crazy to think these guys can get up and down 70% of the time. It’s probably much more often than this if you could remove their bad rounds that shouldn’t count but its their average so it has to be counted. Just shows why this site is better than all others. Thx WRX! 😉

      Wedges are virtually the same…Most important thing is to find the right loft and bounce/grind.

        loft, bounce, and make sure that they are not all worn out.
