If we do make heavier shaft weight recommendations, we make them for the Sand Wedge and Lob Wedge for more feel around the green and in the bunker. These stock wedge shafts will play stiffer and could cause a loss of distance and lower ball flight than expected. It makes no sense, for example, to be playing a light weight 70 to 80 gram graphite shaft in your irons and stock off-the-shelf 130+ gram True Temper S330 or S400 shaft in your gap, sand and lob and expect them to feel and perform the same. The main reason we recommend this for amateur players is that we can make the flex and performance feel very consistent from PW through gap wedge, sand wedge and lob wedge. Using the Same Shafts As What You Have in Your Irons Rory McIlroy favors a softer shaft, Project X 6.5 in his wedges versus the Project X 7.0's in his irons. Some tour players like Si Woo Kim, play softer flexes and heavier weights in their sand and lob wedges since these are more feel-oriented clubs. Even Jessica Korda plays the same True Temper Dynamic Gold 105 S shafts in her irons and wedges. Cameron Smith Plays the same KBS Tour 130X in his irons and all of his wedges. So what do the pros have in their wedges? Check out the WITB of several PGA Tour, LPGA Tour and Champions Tour players and you will see that most PGA Tour players play the same shafts in all of their wedges as in their irons. This can be a good thing in terms of weight but the actual flex may be quite a bit softer in the wedges due to the heavier weight we usually see in a sand wedge and lob wedge. If you are buying a stock set of clubs with a gap and sand wedge included, you will get the same shaft as what is in the rest of the iron set. If you are playing graphite shafts in your irons and steel shafts in your wedges, there will be some issues in terms of distance and trajectory. Only if you are playing a steel shaft in your irons like the Dynamic Gold, KBS Tour, or Nippon Modus 3 120 will the weight and flex of these wedge shafts come close to matching you. Ping uses their own proprietary Z115 (115gr) in their Glide 4.0 and Glide 4.0 Pro. On the lighter side, Callaway uses the True Temper Dynamic Gold Spinner (115gr) as does Cleveland in their RTX Zipcore wedges. Titleist uses an S200 (130gr) in their SM9 wedges while Mizuno uses the DG S400 (136 gr) in the T22. Looking for a new wedges? SHOP NOW!
