Posted August 11, 200420 yr I am looking for some reccomendations as to what shaft I should use I am either going with the rifle spinner, dg wedge, or nippon 1050. In my irons I am getting the flighted rifle, so should I stay consistent with rifle spinner, or go with nippon which I heard feels great with wedges?
August 11, 200420 yr Unless you're sure about the feel and response of the NS 1050 from trying it out I'd go with the Spinner shaft. It's such an excellent shaft and it's also what I have in my Scratch wedges. :cool:
August 11, 200420 yr I use the same Rifle frequency in my wedges as I do in my irons. I really like the feel of my Rifle 6.5's in my wedges.
August 11, 200420 yr I had my set of Scratch wedges built with Rifle Spinners. Very happy with the combo. Soft feeling heads go well with the wedges as I get really good feedback on where I made contact with the ball.
August 11, 200420 yr I highly recommend the FCM stepped shafts. Same feel as Rifle but with lower trajectory. IMO spinner shafts suck on full shots. Ari can get the FCM shafts from the RP Tour Department. Apparently a lot of Pro's are using them in their wedges. haribo
August 11, 200420 yr I like Dynamic Gold X-100's or S400's in my wedges. I also like heavy SW's in my wedges too.
August 13, 200420 yr I have been happy with a Dynalite set at 43 lbs on a flexmaster. Trajectory has been excellent. Feel on half shots has very good. I will not change the shaft in my 57 even though I'm now using FCM precision shafts in my irons. The Dynalite shaft is just enough lighter to give a sandwedge excelent balance. Ari did a great job building a wedge that fits my swing
August 13, 200420 yr http://www.sgolfclubs.com/ Ask them their current price. It varies between plated and coated finishes, and which shaft you choose. Scratch is truly custom, so you have to check for any possible head finish/shaft combination. However, they are/were going to start selling some of their more popular finish/shaft/sole grind models as non-custom stock models, for a reduced price. I'd check with them to see if they are already doing that or not......

Regarding price as far as I know the non-custom stock wedges will cost what the customs go for now. While the price for the customs will increase by about $100. Hope I remember that correctly but I'm sure Ari will clarify things. haribo
August 14, 200420 yr I am looking forward to my Scratch wedges when they get here. I have been using the 1050 wedge flex in my wedges as of late and absolutely love them (Zodia and Miura). I am glad to know that I will have the head weights exact so I can get the proper swing weights in the wedges without any adjustment with tip weights or tungsten powder. I am looking forward to the options offered in these wedges. I have really enjoyed the conversations with Ari and am glad to be the next dealer for Scratch. Paul
August 14, 200420 yr I had Rifles in my Scratch and they were nice, but I got them refinished and put DG S-400s in them and I gotta say i prefer em.
