Wedges have to match for me. But brand doesn't matter, feel does. It's they don't feel and play alike then surely your making a very key part of your game harder?
How important is it to have matching wedges?

I thought about this for along time. I asked myself should my wedges match the irons i have just been fitted with or does it not matter? Or should i go different if i like something else?

I would ask the question regarding mid/long irons and short irons too i.e. hybrids down to the 5 iron then irons then wedges
I have matching (well the 52 and 58 degrees) wedges. Does it make a difference. Probably not but I fall into that category who prefer their gear to match. OCD? Perhaps but that's just the way it is

It's definitely as important as matching your bag to your irons

All my wedges* match with each other and the rest of the irons.

I've always preferred to have the wedges matching my other irons. I suppose it goes back to the days when I first started playing where almost every set of clubs you bought came 3-SW.
I went 5-SW on my new set, and have subsequently bought the matching GW. I carry a Vokey 60 degree for playing off of wet, hardpacked sand or for really deep greenside bunkers, but am looking for the RS1 version so that everything matches up.
The Vokey is ok but doesn't quite feel right with it's steel shaft compared to the graphite in my other clubs.

Since I changed irons a couple of months back I'm having an issue with the SW
For use I much prefer my previous Wilson SW and really comfortable using it with better bunker results than my handicap would suggest... but the OCD in me wants to put the matching SW in the bag because... well because it belongs beside its mates!
Downside is I'm not as proficient with the matching club out of the sand. I'm going to give it some work & practice before I admit defeat though

The top of my bag is pretty mixed with TM, Titliest & Cleveland, my irons are all MP-52's and my wedges are all MP-T4's, for me the wedges are the most important, not just the gapping but the variable bounce options they offer me for different lies, the MP-T4's gave me the spread of bounces perfect for the degree of wedges I thought was right for me.

It's more important to have the right ones instead of matching ones. Mine match my set, but that was because of the deal when I bought my irons, also it meant I got them custom fitted to the same spec as my irons.
Decide what you want from your wedges and choose accordingly. I like higher a loft wedge with a bit of bounce for using out of bunkers and when I need to get some airtime on short shots. Then I get a GW that is about 20 yards shorter than my PW, I then use this for everything 120 yards and shorter.
