How often do you change your wedges? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been sharing how often they change up their wedges. ‘WRXer’ Saltydawg15′ kicks off the thread, saying:
“I love the bite you get with new wedges and generally change my wedges every year or so. Watching a clip of Tiger and Rory, and they change their wedges about every 1.5-2 tournaments. While I’m not looking to changing every month, I am curious to know how often others change their wedges.
my current wedges (Callaway JAWS) are about 2-3 months old and look like they’re a few years old from all the practice.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- INeedMoreGolf: “I might be crazy, but… I think mines will still be good by at least 4 seasons. At least, I think… I haven’t got that far every because I’m a ho fo sho. That being said… I don’t practice at all, so maybe that’s why. I personally feel for me 4 to 5 seasons… I’m just hitting little chips and pitches or 3 quarter swings with them… not that much damage really.”
- JcO: “Wedges to me have 3 phases. New, most spin, easy to add spin, lasts maybe 10-15 rounds. Broken in, slightly less spin but more consistent spin, lasts as long as you are good about keeping the grooves in good shape. Done, dramatically less spin, grooves beat up and surface finish gone. I usually replace my wedges when I feel them leaving the broken in phase, chips start rolling out a little more than expected.”
- MtlJeff: “Probably a new set every season, but nothing to do with spin…I usually just want new wedges.”

If you keep the grooves clean, they work a lot longer. BTW: Am I the only one who read the study that the most spin was from a dry, clean wedge with no grooves?

What study did you read? Andrew Rice’s study clearly shows grooves with milling generates the most spin
