Grooved edges could be banned

A word of advice on wedges: Get them before they’re illegal. The USGA is having discussions with leading manufacturers about the nonconforming grooved edges that could be banned by next year because of the way they help spin the ball.

Titlest has Vokey Design Wedges in the 200 series and the Spin Milled series. The Vokey has replaced Cleveland’s wedges as the one most used on the PGA Tour.

Vijay Singh still uses Cleveland wedges and might be keeping the manufacturer in business single-handedly, changing his wedges before each major. The CG12 DSG Wedge has wider grooves.

Callaway X-Forged was developed by former rival Roger Cleveland, who sold his interest in the company that still bears his name and has moved to Callaway. Mickelson uses this wedge, so you know it’s pretty good - for Mickelson.
