I game the Max Milled 58* 1.05 and the 54* .90. I really like the wedges but was worried about some flexibility with the 58. In the practice area I took the 58 and opened up the face a few degrees and was consistently getting those 5-15 yard flop shots over the bunkers. Don’t know if I would try that from a tight lie but seems to work very well.

I seem to have a gapping issue from my 48* set gap wedge and the 54* Max Milled. I’m considering going to a 52* but don’t know if I should stay with the Max Milled .90 or get it in the DRT-A, DRT-S or DRT-G. I don’t plan on face manipulation for the 52* mostly for chip and run, 55-70 yard pitches and possibly bunker more than 10-20 yards to the green. I don’t really do full swings with wedges. closest I get is a full swing from the set gap wedge for 90-100 yards.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

All things wedges, like I know you are aware, are a bit of trial and error. You understand you game and needs well, so it’s just a matter of trying to match the best combination of loft and sole design to the shots. First thought is if you like the .90 Max, going with the 52 in the same wedge would appear to make sense. That being said, the DRT options could work very well too. Of the shots you described you want to be able to hit with this new wedge, I think of the 52 degree options in the DRT, the S grind would be the one. It has a slightly wider sole than the G grinds and that would most likely would be a little better in the sand, but still a conventional enough width to work very well around the greens. I play the 52 S and 56 S in the DRT and they work extremely well for me.

So I would suggest either the Max 52 or the DRT S 52. Either should work well for what you’re trying to accomplish.
