Hello!

I just put together a new set of TS3 irons and R flex M890 shafts… which really came together nice and feel great. To that set I also added a 52 and 58 degree TSW wedges, along with the same R flex M890 shafts.

When building, I see the tip trim chart for these shafts has the tip trim recommendation for wedges to be 3.25 inches. I trimmed 3.25 inches in the PW and GW of the TS3 heads, and trimmed 3.50 inches for the 52 and 58 degree TSW wedges, which is the maximum I could trim with the 5″ parallel tip section on the M890 shafts.

I only have 1 round in so far with these, but I’m seeing the ball flight on the 52/58 TSW wedges is really low compared to the Mizuno S18 wedges I used previously.

Do you think the very low ball flight is due to the additional .25″ of tip trim? I can’t imagine that made a significant impact on the ball flight. Any thoughts as to why ball flight of the TSWs might be quite a bit lower than my PW or GW?

Would it be a better option to tip trim the 52 and 58 degree TSW wedges less than 3.25″ for higher flight/additional spin?

let’s remove the mizuno comparison, unless you were using an m890 shaft.

though the loft progression is upward, I would not expect a progressive height result with two vastly different heads.

are you swinging at the same speed on all clubs?

many builders are tipping less on higher lofted wedges to increase launch and spin at slower swing speeds.

most players don’t swing their higher lofted wedge shots at full speed.

brett knows more, but hope this helps
