Just wondering how many here have the same shaft in both irons & wedges?

How important is it to have same shaft in wedges?

I do. Having been fitted for the shaft in an iron fitting, I saw no reason not to have the same shaft my wedges. Is it important? I suppose that might depend on how you play; some say that if you play a lot of half shots with wedges a softer shaft may give you a bit more feel, but I can't say I've noticed a problem. As long as you are happy and confident with the shafts you've got then does it matter if you have a different shaft in every club.

I have the same, but only because I bought them all at the same time and it cost no more to do it that way.

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest if they were different.

Same in both for me, as others have done, i bought my irons and wedges together, to match the shafts was no extra so why not.
I occasionally hit a full shot with a gap wedge but doubt I'd notice any difference if it had an alternative shaft fitted.

The mild OCD in me likes the fact the shafts all match though!
