building a wedge for a customer. he’s playing one of my demo’s which is a TSW 58* with 6* bounce which is bent to 54* and 2* bounce. He loves it off the tight lies which is what it wanted it for as the leading edge doesn’t sit high of the ground when he lays it open.

I’m toying with the idea of doing some similar with a Max Milled wedge 58* with 8* bounce and bending it to 54* thereby reducing bounce to 4*.

Sole width’s are similar on both 1.05 and 1.07 which i think is negligible.

Looking for input on whether or not the wedge will hug the ground any tighter when laid open or would i be better off grinding one or the other.

Bending the 58 to 54 is possible, but it will give you more offset as well as reduce the bounce, so keep that in mind. Although the measured sole widths may be similar, the actual effective sole width of the TSW is less due to the relief grind. Also, the front to back radius grind is slightly more on the Max. I think what you would find is that the MAX would hug the ground more than it did, but not as much as the TSW, but without doing the adjustments myself and checking, I couldn’t know precisely the affect. Would be interesting to find out.

thanks Britt,
I’ll order one of each, do some measurements before and after bending and get feed back from my customer on his preference.
Know the TSW is on back order, so might be a bit.
