Miuramaniac Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 The ones in my pic. Miura raw ground by Joe Kwok. Fantastic in every way (except for rusting!). Had him make 2 sets, one with 52* and 58*, the other with 51, 56, and 61. He sculpted them square like the baby blades. A perfect transition from the square baby blade PW. No big bulbous toe. Lots of heel and toe relief, blunted leading edge, and spin like crazy. Way more than my newer Miura C and Y-grind wedges. Worst were Epon wedges from a few years ago. Just too bulky to work for me.

RIduffer Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think the biggest surprise ones for me were the Maruman KS Zero. Really liked them, but they don't do a conforming version so I have a 52, 54, 56 and 60 that don't see the light of day anymore… Had a trio of Chikaras that spun too much and chewed balls up like they were paper, have to say they were my least favorite… Traded for a pair of Yamahas, just haven't shafted them up yet… Also eager to hit the Crazy wedges I have on order...

idrive Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Favorite all time are the Sky Dream Jump DP2010 Proto's. Wish I could find a couple more 2010 non conforming Crazy's and Tourstage Maru X-wedges are right up there and rotate in and out of the main bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisstrader Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm hoping the tourstage that stew just sent me:) Zodia wedges used to be all the rage some years ago...talk about a ball shredder! Not easy to play but complete spin monsters. Most fun for me were the chikaras...also crazy spin and cool looking wedges. Can't say they were point and shoot...for me that was/is my TM ATV's. Not all that sexy, just stupid easy to play in bunkers, chips, tricky pitches, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjdavies47 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Have to say I am loving the Fourteen MT28s. My first trip into Jdm wedges and they are very playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 my favorite wedge, an old titleist elk, had little to do with the wedge itself and everything to do with it getting worn down by my swing. the sole, (broken in perfectly to my swing) was worn so severely that you could barely read the word "titleist"! i re-groved it twice but finally the face was so concave that i had to give it up. i could play any shot from any lie or hazard inside 70yds to within a few feet with that thing!!! not having that part of my game still costs me almost a stroke per round.

MoreBeerBetterGolf Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Would love to have a pair of Crazy wedges someday but I wonder if I can get them to maybe put a scorpion or shark or even a honey badger on mine instead of a butterfly?
