RIduffer Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I am in the process of trading for some Yamaha wedges in 52* and 58*. How bad would it be to bend the 52* to 50* or 54*? If not an issue which would be better to add bounce by by increasing the loft or take away the bounce by lowering the loft? Whichever way, I can add a 3rd wedge to the bag for whichever is remaining... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supo Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 no proba at all. i bend mine al the time. i bend the 58* to 56.5 perfectamundo so issues what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thanks for the info from both of you. I'll probably take you up on the offer to bend them also Carlo, just need to figure out how/which... Am hoping that plugging the space in my gapping is the right direction but having not hit the Yams am uncertain on which way to go... My thinking is to add loft to the 52* as well as bounce and turn it into a SW thus paving the way add a true gap in the 50* spot. More of a true iron type of grind instead of a more traditional wedge head at that loft. The 50* is gonna be used more for full and 3/4 shots than around the green... Right direction or other thoughts? Assuming a good direction, what to get for the 50*, Yururi, Golds, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIduffer Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 What is the 58* at now? Am a 62* lie angle on the 5 iron, not sure what that translates to in wedges... Too many choices... 50, 54, 58 51, 55, 59 50, 55, 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 heres what i do.. if my irons are PW @! 48* i go either 52/53 gap 56/57 SW and 61* lob if my pw is @ 46 of the ludicrous 44*... then ill go the 50/51*--56-- 60* option. all depends on what u play ur pw at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 i would play 50 54 58 or 50 55 60 or even 50 56 60. im not particular about my middle sand wedge. it can be 54/55/56 for all i care as long as my gap is 50 and my lob is 60 the 58 is playing at 60 now. i dont really tinker with Lie on my wedges. its at stock like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 If the 58 is already at 60, lets leave that one alone and bend the 52 to 55, then I'll pick up a 50 from the proshop… While you're bending might as well try a 2* upright lie angle, please... Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
