Wedge weight

[kamen rider]

Noted that the Japanese wedges sold fitted with shaft are generally light in both overall weight & swing weight.

For 52 deg AW by:

Romaro Ray with NSPro 950 @ 442g / D2

Romaro Ray with DGS200 @ 462g / D3

RC DB DM with NSPro 950 @ 447g / D1

RC DB DM with DGS200 @ 468g / D2

Assuming the NSPro 950 @ 98g & DGS200 @ 128g and grip 50g, there is a difference of 30g between the two shaft but only 20g between the overall weight (see above), does the manufacturers use different head weights (10g difference) for different shafts? i.e. 294g Romaro wedge head for NSPro950 shaft and 284g for DGS200 shaft?

So should I need to check the overall weight & estimate the head weight prior to any purchase so that I can fit to my desired wedge shaft & spec?

Aren't the swing weight on the low side? I typically have the short irons (PW - #8) at D2 with steel shafts.

Also, I think most components wedge head comes in sub 300g range

Looking forward to get your view & advice

yes. there are different head weights that manufacturers make. Even for Mizunos(more for general public), you can order heavier or lighter heads when you custom order your set. Usually, average swing weights for wedges are D3. But you should really test what feels right for you before looking into swing weights first.

So I should buy those wedges fitted with NSPro950 shafts so that I get wedge heads in 290++g (based on the above data) so that I can build / re-shaft the wedges to match my PW @ 460g overall weight? I'm quite sceptical that they actually build 280++g wedge heads.

My current 52deg wedges Gauges Design & Epon are both sub 300g, the overall weight for GD @ 464g with NW110 and Epon @ 476g with WV115 (my PW @ 460g with Modus 3)
